The Relational Life Therapy Bootcamp
This immersive training in Relational Life Therapy (RLT) offers mental health professionals a unique opportunity to engage in experiential learning grounded in adult development theory and best practices in professional education. By directly practicing RLT concepts and tools, participants cultivate an embodied understanding of relational dynamics that enhances clinical effectiveness and personal insight.
Drawing from evidence-based models of professional development, this intensive workshop supports therapists in developing authentic, grounded approaches to teaching clients healthy communication, relational empowerment, emotional repair, and conflict resolution. Participants will engage in inner child work to recognize and regulate their own activation and deepen their capacity to lead from the “wise adult” self.
A key component of this training includes the use of the Relationship Grid, a powerful assessment and intervention tool created by Terry Real and based on the work of Pia Mellody.
This interactive training integrates didactic lecture, PowerPoint, handouts, live demonstrations, role plays, and dyadic practice. Attendees will learn to:
✓ Conduct relational assessments that help clients identify and transform destructive patterns, shifting from cyclical conflict to meaningful connection
✓ Apply innovative clinical tools to build self-esteem, establish healthy boundaries, and support both autonomy and intimacy in relationships
✓ Teach clients practical skills in effective communication, conflict resolution, and emotional repair
✓ Integrate RLT principles into clinical practice using experiential techniques that enhance therapeutic outcomes and deepen relational awareness
