THE FOUNDATIONS OF RELATIONAL SKILLS
A 6-hour series introducing the essential concepts and terms of Relational Life Therapy.
October 15, 22, and 29 (2024) from 4:00 – 6:00 Pacific Time (on-line).
In this small group format (three to four couples) you’ll get a head start on couple therapy by acquainting yourself with how Relational Life Therapy works. Concepts covered include:
- The three phases of RLT and what to expect in each phase
- How to assess your own and your partner’s motivation for change
- The difference between first and second consciousness responses
- Three basic ‘parts’ of the human psyche and how they conflict with each other, as well as with our partner’s parts
- How to use Terry Real’s Relationship Grid as a road map for navigating self-esteem and boundaries
- How to make requests
- How to do an effective time out
Our time will be divided approximately equally between presentation and Q&A. You will get a feel for how I work, how RLT works, and whether couple therapy as I practice it is a good fit for you. If you do proceed with RLT your therapy will be accelerated.
