Relational Life Institute

Welcome to the Relational Life Institute – the training body behind Relational Life Therapy® (RLT), created by leading family therapist and best-selling author, Terry Real. 

RLT is a radical approach to traditional therapy that works directly with shame and grandiosity, takes sides when power is imbalanced, and encourages trauma work in the presence of the partner. 

Through loving confrontation and speaking from our own recovery process, RLT equips therapists and mental health professionals to create transformational change in individuals and couples, and help them live deeply fulfilling and connected relational lives.
