Two Day Relationship Skills Bootcamp
What Is the Relationship Skills Bootcamp?
The Relationship Skills Bootcamp is a two day immersive workshop based on Relational Life Therapy, developed by
Terry Real.
Led by certified RLT facilitators, this experience teaches practical skills for communication, accountability, boundary setting, and conflict repair.
This is not passive learning. Participants engage in guided exercises, small group work, and structured reflection designed to create meaningful relational shifts. The Bootcamp is an educational workshop, not therapy.

What is Relational Life Therapy?
Relational Life Therapy (RLT) is Terry Real’s radical approach to couples therapy that breaks many of the rules of traditional couples therapy. Notably, RLT emphasizes the importance of people learning the ongoing skills they need to nurture and cherish their relationships long after their time in therapy is over.
It’s these core skills you will learn in the Relationship Bootcamp to help you create meaningful relationships and keep the spark alive. RLT equips people with the powerful relational skills they need to cultivate meaningful connections—to themselves, each other, and the planet as a whole.
