Get instant, lifetime access to two special course collaborations
Learn the practices to heal past wounds and more deeply connect with yourself, your partner, and 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.
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.
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.

“Thomas and Terry together are profound resources for relationship healing on so many levels.
My husband and I spent hours in conversation each week around the course material, which laid a firm foundation and much broader perspective for exploring our difficult relationship issues.
We will return to the principles over and over as we work to evolve ourselves and our marriage.”
“I never liked or understood the word “trauma” as it had been used by so many erroneously. This course helped me understand that although I had never been physically abused in childhood, I had experienced neglect, causing me to feel alone and unsafe.
I am so grateful to have been a part of the course – I had a huge breakthrough with memories surfacing that had been long forgotten and stored in the unconscious.”
“I appreciated how Terry and Thomas integrated their respective approaches to relational work. I was moved by their compassion and focus with online participants. It was beautiful to experience. As a relational therapist I feel more confident and clear about my own skills as I begin to learn and integrate their generous wisdom.”
Martha Y.
“Both Thomas and Terry provided very specific, concrete, concise information about the various essential elements of a successful long-term relationship. I especially appreciated that they included and emphasized the specific ways in which previous trauma plays into a couple’s interactions and how to get back out of those precarious, awkward moments. The historical family trauma was also good to include, as I don’t find many people giving credit to those experiences and the long-term effects. My husband and I watched together and had some excellent discussions as a result. Very helpful!”
Sandra
“I appreciated the beautiful, almost seamless way Thomas and Terry worked together and with those who came on live. They both brought their expertise into each interaction and you could see how moved each person was.”
Melanie
“The blend of Terry Real’s beautifully developed work with couples, and Thomas Hübl’s clear descriptions of body-mind energetics, combined with the ‘bigger picture’ view of trauma in relationships was so beneficial.”

Anna’s style as a therapist, teacher, and supervisor is to balance compassion and collaboration with direct feedback. Anna’s roots are in systems theory and cultural studies, which was a natural fit for the RLT model, and supports her goal of teaching the skills to navigate long term relationships and support relational living for both clients and students alike.

Cathy Hill, Ph.D., R. Psych:

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.
