  • Can you give a summary of all of what Terry offers?

🎓 Professional Summary:

For practitioners, RLT is a bold, integrative therapeutic model that combines confrontation, trauma healing, and skills training - all within a deeply relational, non-neutral stance.

Unlike traditional therapies that either prioritise nurture or avoid taking sides, RLT empowers therapists and coaches to name power dynamics, confront dysfunctional behaviours with love, and teach real-world relational skills that clients can apply immediately.

Rooted in systems thinking, feminist theory, neurobiology, and deep trauma work, RLT equips professionals to create rapid, lasting change by addressing not just the symptoms, but the characterological drivers beneath them.

It is both method and mindset - a full system for helping clients live more connected, truthful, and loving lives.

✨ Personal Summary (Practical):

Relational Life Therapy (RLT) helps individuals understand and change the patterns that cause conflict in their relationships.

Developed by Terry Real, RLT teaches you how to recognize your automatic, unhelpful responses (what he calls your adaptive child), understand where they come from, and replace them with more effective, adult behaviors. You’ll learn how to communicate clearly, set boundaries, repair after conflict, and show up with both strength and warmth.

Whether you tend to shut down, get reactive, or over-function in relationships, RLT gives you concrete tools to shift those dynamics and build more honest, respectful, and connected relationships - starting with yourself.
