Introduction to Relational Life Therapy

March 9 @ 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm EST

What is the RLT Certification?

Master Powerful Tools to Quickly and Dramatically Turn Around Relationships

Relational Life Therapy is a radical, sophisticated approach to couples therapy created by Terry Real, LICSW. It’s our mission to bring the world back into connection—to ourselves, each other, and the planet as a whole.

RLT is more than a therapeutic method: it’s a movement and form of political activism. We’re concerned with deconstructing the “Great Lie” that one person or group is better or less than anyone else. We’ve made great strides in standing up to the force of patriarchy and helping us move beyond constructed gender roles into a way of living that is truly relational. Now we’re extending our activism beyond patriarchy to include race and other marginalized groups.

The RLT Certification will empower you to build trust, find leverage, and get faster results in your couples sessions. Delivered entirely online through a blend of live practice and on-demand video trainings, you will benefit from more than 200 hours of high-quality education (+ an additional 100 hours in bonus trainings), in-depth support, a thriving community of like-minded professionals, and the flexibility to fit your study around your lifestyle.

Upon successful completion of all components, you receive certification as an RLT Certified Therapist or RLT Certified Practitioner.

Join us in this FREE webinar to learn more about the RLT Certification program, and how it can be of benefit to you and your clientele.
