Love, Trauma, and Relationships with Terry Real and Thomas Hübl

Learn the practices to heal past wounds and more deeply connect with yourself, your partner, and the world at large. 
“ The deepest listening is presence, is consciousness itself. It is space, an open heart, compassion and a deep receiving of someone.”
Thomas Hübl
“ Learning to listen relationally, listen with cool heads and clear boundaries, listen with the quietness of the heart and the gentleness of the body, means having a self so developed it can afford to yield. ”
Terry Real

Our Intimate Relationships Provide the Greatest Opportunity for Transformation… 

Yet few of us have the tools to consciously deepen our love, work with trauma, and use our close relationships as a crucible for healing.
That’s why you’re invited to a special teaching collaboration, during which you’ll explore these topics and more.

Themes for Here’s What You’ll Learn

Many of us crave more connection and more intimacy in our relationships, but we don’t know how to create it.

And why would we? It’s something we’ve never been taught.

We live in a world that champions competition not collaboration, the individual not community.

And right now, we’re living in a world that’s more disconnected than ever, experiencing significant trauma and hurt.

This creates a pressure cooker environment in which pain radiates into our day-to-day lives and relationships, even though we may not consciously be aware of it.

We’re all desperately trying to seek comfort and avoid pain… but in doing so, we’re not living fully with ourselves, our loved ones, or the world at large.

Instead, we repeat the same patterns from the past. It feels like it’s beyond our
control—as though some hidden part of ourselves has taken the reins.


This training will help you connect with that hidden part of yourself, understand it, nurture it, and ultimately stand it down so you can break down the barriers to true intimacy.

Living—and loving—fully means learning to embrace discomfort so that we can cultivate better, healthier ways of relating.

And that’s at every level, whether learning to sit through the initial discomfort of a meditation to open up to greater spirituality or finally voicing our wants to our partner.

Our relationships can be a crucible for profound inner change. Our relationships can be a safe place where we release traumas that in the past have blocked intimacy, joy, and peace.

By changing the way you relate to others, you can learn to heal the wounds of the past.

But in order to do that, you need a shared framework and mutual understanding of how to support one another and the planet as a whole.

As you move through these online teachings, you’ll watch Terry and Thomas work—combining methods from psychotherapy and spiritual practices—with individuals and couples who consciously choose to bring their relationships to the next level.

True Liberation is Freedom From Our Own Automatic Responses

Learn the skills and practices to achieve that freedom in Love, Trauma, and Relationships.
“ We design the world through the relationships that we live, through the relational qualities that we pass on to the next generation. So practicing in our intimate relationships is actually a rewriting of the past. We can heal, we can integrate, and through that we can also change the world. ”
Thomas Hübl

Working with Trauma in Our Intimate Relationships

We often bring wounds and injuries into our relationships that trigger trauma…

The previous traumas we carry are like scars that can prevent us from getting closer to the ones we love and care for in our lives.

Often, the defenses and adaptive strategies that have served to protect us in the past keep us from closeness in the present.

When we become conscious of the trauma we hold and how it affects our relationships, then we can work with it as an ally for personal growth rather than something that creates a barrier to intimacy and love.

In fact, a close loving relationship can provide an optimal container for deep healing and transformation.

Our partners can reflect back to us what they see and hold space for us moment to moment.

There are many types of trauma that we can hold, including family of origin and intergenerational trauma, relational trauma, and collective trauma.

Each type of trauma plays a role in how we relate to our partners and can pull us further apart or bring us closer, depending on how we handle it.

Through 20+ hours of teachings, Thomas and Terry will guide you deep into an exploration of the possibilities of transformation as you build frameworks, learn from work with couples and individuals, and learn practices you can use in your
relationship immediately.

You will come out with a deeper understanding of how trauma affects relationships and how to use it for transformation instead of triggering.

Clearing the Obstacles to Love and Intimacy

Often, it’s not the lack of desire to be close to another that prevents intimacy; rather, it’s the obstacles, current or historical, that block connection and love.

Looking at our wounding and trauma – and that of our partner – is key for couples who seek deeply fulfilling and extraordinary relationships.

It’s in our early relationships that trauma occurs…

And it’s through our current relationships that we have an opportunity to heal.

We can move from repetition of the same old patterns to transformation, with each partner evolving inside the relationship.

You'll embark on that journey in this course. These are the topics you'll explore:

You’ll also learn from Thomas and Terry’s process work with individuals and couples facing struggles similar to yours.

These teachings will provide you with a new relational map, tools, and practices that you can use to strengthen your work and significant partnerships.

Cathy is trained in the ‘scientist-practitioner’ model, and is devoted to getting RLT ‘evidence-based’ which requires excellent in training in order to translate into excellence in practice.
