The New Rules of Marriage
Presented by Terry Real, LICSW

Web Conference Description

Terry Real will introduce participants to his groundbreaking, new art form of Relational Life Therapy (RLT). This model of therapy is akin to "relationship ju-jitsu", in which couples build on each other's momentum and get what they need by empowering their partner to give it to them.

This Web Conference is intermediate instructional level and designed to help clinicians:

1) Use leverage to break through impasses in couples therapy and turn the couple towards progress;
2) Describe Relational Life Therapy tools such as: Scanning for Addictions, Acting Out Issues, Stance/Stance and the Dance, Family of Origin, and Inner Child Issues;
3) Empower the "latent" and reconnect the "blatant” to achieve a renewed bond going forward in their therapy.
