Introducing Living Love, the First-Ever Group Coaching Program Based on Terry Real’s Groundbreaking RLT Method, Led by Two of His Most Trusted RLT Faculty Members:
LIVE group coaching, exclusively limited to 20 participants, to guide you out of the painful cycle of conflict and disconnection, and equip you with the skills to build an extraordinary relationship — for individuals and couples ready for real, lasting change.
Imagine if you were no longer stuck in the same painful patterns.
No more shutting down or lashing out. No more chasing, blaming, or walking on eggshells just to keep the peace.
You wouldn’t keep sweeping issues under the rug, letting resentment eat away at intimacy until there’s nothing left. You’d know how to ask for what you need — and have your partner willingly respond in a way that works for both of you.
You wouldn’t be stuck in the same never-ending fights. You’d have the tools to handle hard conversations in a way that creates connection, not distance.
You wouldn’t waste another year hoping things will magically change.
You’d be the change — you’d show up differently and experience everything powerfully shift from there.
For over 30 years, the tools and skills of Relational Life Therapy have helped thousands of individuals and couples around the world break free from old patterns and build relationships that truly work.
Now it’s your turn.
Intimacy isn’t something you have, it’s something you do, and when you learn to do that work — with the right support, structure, and skills — transformation is inevitable.
You’ve done the workshop. You’ve named your destructive dance — what Terry Real calls “the more the more.”
You’ve seen how your past wounds play out in the present, and how your Adaptive Child takes the wheel when conflict hits.
You’re tired of “shutting up and putting up” with bad behavior to avoid another blowout, and are painfully aware you’re stuck in a cycle that’s costing you both the joy of real intimacy.
And yet, when the heat rises… you go right back to it.
This is no longer a recognition problem. It’s a practice problem.
This Isn’t Just About Learning New Skills…
Because Skills Alone Isn’t Enough – We Work With the Part of You Who Won’t Use them.
The part that is reactive and forgets love. The part that shuts down, lashes out, or tries to “fix” everything at the cost of your own needs.
Without the right relational skills, most people will spend the next 40 years having the same argument. But ending this fight is not something you have to figure out alone.
Through guided practice, expert feedback, and loving accountability, you can build new relational muscles — and transform your old, losing strategies in just 8 weeks.
Are you ready to move from awareness into action… and finally break the cycle for good?
A One-Time, Exclusive Coaching Experience — Limited to Just 20 Participants — to Build the Skills to Transform Your Relationship and Heal in Community
Knowing your patterns is powerful, but transforming them takes more than awareness. That’s where this first-of-its-kind RLT group coaching experience begins.
Led by two esteemed RLT faculty members, Kate Harris and Michael Evans, this interactive live group coaching program guides you step-by-step through the real work of ending destructive relational patterns and building an extraordinary relationship.
Across 8 LIVE sessions, you’ll be introduced to the essential RLT skills used by therapists around the world to radically transform relationships.
More importantly, you’ll be supported in practicing them in your daily life.
Whether you attend solo or with a partner, you’ll receive personalized expert guidance, and join an intimate group of 20 participants committed to healing and growth — giving you the accountability and structure you need for real, lasting relational change.
You’ll walk away with a clear path forward. One that brings you closer to yourself, your partner, and the love you’ve been asking for.
Join RLT Group Coaching and take the next step toward true transformation.
PhD, Senior RLT Faculty
Kate is a Clinical Psychologist and a Certified Martha Beck, North Star Coach. In 2015, Kate watched Terry Real work with 5 couples and was committed to becoming an RLT therapist, in part, because RLT honours “the worth and dignity of all people” and aligned clearly with her values. Attending Terry’s Bootcamp in 2017 with her husband gave them the tools that they use to stay close to each other and deepened their 33-year marriage.
Kate became an RLT certified therapist in 2018 and is grateful to be able to help spread the skills of relational living. She remains inspired by the people who show up to learn how to live and love with deep respect to others and the world we share.
LCSW, RLT Trainer
Michael Evans is a Licensed Certified Social Worker specializing in individual and couples therapy, with a focus on trauma recovery using EMDR and Post Induction Therapy. His approach is rooted in Pia Mellody’s treatment model, similar to those used at the Meadows Treatment Center in Wickenburg, Arizona, and the Green Shoe Foundation in Edmond, Oklahoma.
As a Certified Relational Life Therapist, trained under Terry Real, Michael works with couples of all kinds, helping them build stronger, healthier relationships. He is also an RLT Trainer, mentoring therapists across the U.S., Canada, and Europe who are becoming certified in Relational Life Therapy. Additionally, he serves as an adjunct instructor of Sociology at National Park College and provides supervision for post-graduate students working toward licensure.
Terry Real’s Boot Camp was life-changing for me and my husband. We’ve been together 30+ years so it’d be fair to wonder what would we possibly have to work on. My love-avoidant, grandiose man said this shifted our relationship to a deeper, more loving level; his love-dependent, grandiose wife agrees. The Boot Camp weekend opened up new ways to talk, to see ourselves and to love each other.
My wife and I both found RLI’s workshop to be exceptional, and well worth the time and effort to fly to Boston. I would recommend it highly, particularly to couples having communication problems. RLI’s approach is unique, but common sense, so it is easy to understand and, hopefully, to apply.
I have found that most couples really want a relationship that works for both people and they have no idea how to make that happen. Once they learn that implementing a set of learned skills can achieve their goal, the majority of couples are willing to do things differently. They become empowered to change!
RLT teaches us all to stand up for relationship, to ask our partner what they need so they in turn can deliver us what will make us happy! And since it busts the hidden truths of patriarchy, it is the couples model of diversity and equality that adapts to change, as we learn to enrich the biosphere of the relationships that feed us.
Over 8 x 2-hour workshops, esteemed RLT faculty members Kate Harris and Michael Evans will guide you on the rarefied path to connection, intimacy, and fulfilling relationships.
You won’t just learn what to do — you’ll be actively coached on how to do it, with the personalized guidance to apply each skill to your real-life relationship dynamics.
Each session will guide you through essential RLT skills, practical exercises to help you apply what you learn in your daily life, and homework to develop your progress between workshops.
You’ll work with an intimate 20-participant group made up of individuals and couples facing similar struggles as you learn, discuss, practice, reflect, and heal in community.
Plus, gain direct feedback from your senior senior RLT coaches who can help you clearly identify where you’re stuck and what you and your partner need to move forward together. You’ll also be invited to join a dedicated WhatsApp group with your fellow participants, so you can share your wins, breakthroughs, and experiences and access additional resources.
This is the difference between trying to figure it out alone and being walked, step-by-step, down the relational path to finally experience the intimacy, repair, and partnership you’ve been longing for.

If you’re tired of the same old dance, get ready to learn a few new steps—real steps—the ones that will make a difference in your life and the lives of those you love.
Thank you for introducing me to the real Laurence, and for introducing him to himself. I am happier in our relationship than I have been in many many years. I use the strategies you taught us with Laurence as well as with my siblings and friends. They work! If we never found someone willing to be straight and honest we would not be together , that much I know. Your honesty about Laurence allowed me to stand down. Now that I am able to stand down I am able to try to be the person I want to be in this relationship.
