A workshop rooted in Relational Life Therapy® (RLT) – the powerful approach to couples therapy created by Terry Real that has helped couples find their way back to each other for more than 40 years.
Anna Sterk was trained directly by Terry himself – and a member of the RLT faculty, training other therapists and coaches in this work.
Is It Them? Is It You?
The One Thing You Know for Sure Is You’re Not Talking About It
You love them. That part has never been in question. What you can’t work out – what you’ve been desperately trying to figure out for longer than you’d like to admit – is where the passion and spark went.
Perhaps they never initiate anymore – and when you initiate, you’re left feeling like they see the whole thing as a chore. So you’re left wondering: Are they even attracted to me now? Is there someone else?
Or maybe you’re the one who flinches when a kiss lingers a little longer. It’s you lying awake torturing yourself: What if I’m broken? What if something in me just switched off?
If any of this resonates, you’re not alone.
Millions of couples are caught in this same stalemate… all wondering what the answer is, and knowing one thing for certain: none of us are talking about it.
Which is why we’re opening the conversation in this live workshop with Anna Sterk, LMFT. In this 3-hour exploration, you’ll get to the heart of what’s going on between you – and the steps you can make to strengthen your sexual connection.
How Can Two People Who Are So Good Together Struggle to Connect in the Bedroom?
As long as you stay locked in the “whose fault is it?” loop, you’ll never get to the root of the issue.
This is what so many of us get wrong. The date nights, the supplements, the spice-it-up tips and tricks we try – these are surface-level “fixes” that don’t work on the deeper cause. This workshop gets to the heart of it.
Because when sex begins to disappear from a loving relationship, the cause is often not hormones, a missing libido, or attraction that’s faded. Nothing is necessarily wrong with either of you at all.
The cause is a pattern. You each walked into this relationship carrying a story about sex – what it should look like, how often, who’s supposed to want it more, what it means if sexual intimacy fades away – learned long before you ever met.
When you uncover what those stories are, and how they interact with each other, you finally have something you can work on.
And that work can start on September 9.
The Way Back to Fulfilling Sexual Connection Begins With 3 Steps
step 1
See the Pattern
You’ll learn the cycle you’re caught in – one reaching, one pulling back – and the old stories you’re carrying that lie behind it. Once you know what’s going on, you know the moves to invite change.
step 2
Reconnect to Desire
Desire isn’t a switch that suddenly flicks on and off – it’s more like a muscle that fades when it goes unused, and it can be rebuilt. You’ll start that work on your own, nothing needed from your partner.
step 3
Start the Conversation
You’ll turn years of silence into one small, real request – and learn how to invite your partner along with you, so you can finally talk about the topic without it ending in arguments or shut downs.
What You’ll Learn
The two roles couples fall into when sex fades
Which one you’re playing, which one your partner is, and the underlying fear driving each – so you can stop taking the pattern personally.
Why every “no” cuts so deep
What a no in the bedroom is actually saying, and what it isn’t – without either of you having to be wrong.
Where your story about sex was written
The beliefs you absorbed long before this relationship about what sex should be and who should want it – and whose rules you’ve been following in bed.
How to want again
Why desire is something you can rebuild rather than a spark you wait for – starting with a private exercise you can do without telling anyone.
How to bring it up without it becoming a fight
The gentle way to open the most avoided conversation in your relationship right now – even if every past attempt went badly.

This Workshop Is for You If…
This training is for you if you’re a therapist or coach who:
It’s been months – or years – and you’ve lost track of whether you stopped counting or stopped noticing.
You’re the one who still initiates – and every no feels like a deeper rejection.
You’re the one who pulls away – and you’ve privately concluded that you’re the problem.
You’d be attending alone – your partner isn’t in this with you yet – and may not even know you’re looking.
You still love each other – but worry the spark may have permanently dimmed.
You’re a therapist or coach – who wants to see how Relational Life Therapy works with sexual disconnection.
Whether you’re married or partnered, together three years or thirty, attending as a couple or entirely on your own, this workshop will help you take the first steps towards building the fulfilling sexual connection you deserve.

“Our sex life brings to the fore the most vulnerable parts of us coupled with the least skill to navigate them.
Anna Sterk is the person I trust to help guide you along that path.”
— Terry Real
Anna Sterk, LMFT, RLT Faculty
A certified RLT therapist since 2017, Anna Sterk (she/her), is a senior member of the Relational Life Institute Faculty. Her clinical career has been focused on systems and relationships from the beginning. She has worked in community mental health, eating disorder treatment, and private practice.
As she worked with couples and sexuality, Anna found that the way sex was discussed in trainings – and Western culture at large – didn’t match what she was seeing in her office. She drew on her history of training in feminist and cultural studies, integrated with her training as a systemic therapist, to find a way of working with couples – and sex and sexuality specifically – that really took root when she began studying with Terry Real in 2012.
She found that RLT provided the framework, techniques, and skills that made the abstract ideas make sense and created the path that Anna’s life and work have taken since that first training. Anna is now at the forefront of shaping how RLT tools and principles can translate to sex therapy, helping transform our relationships to sex – both within ourselves and with our partners.
“I thought Anna was an excellent facilitator – knowledgeable, generous, responsive.”
— Audrey Mayer
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the workshop, and how do I join?
The workshop takes place live on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, 12–3 PM ET. After you register, you’ll receive an email with your link to join (and access to your private learning platform where the recording will be stored).
Do I have to say anything… or share anything personal?
No nothing is asked of you. You can keep your camera off, join under a different name and you don’t have to participate in the Q&A. This is a safe, supportive environment where you will not be judged or pressured.
Can I attend alone – or without my partner knowing?
Yes, and most people do. The workshop was designed for that. Everything Anna teaches starts with your half of the pattern – and there’s guidance on when, and whether, to bring your partner in later. You’ll have lifetime access to the recording should you ever want to share it with them.
Will this fix our sex life?
Here’s the honest answer: no one can promise you that, and you should be wary of anyone who does. What Anna can promise is that you’ll leave understanding the real cause of what happened in your relationship, with a way to rebuild your own desire and one concrete, doable step toward inviting your partner along with you. And if you need more support following the workshop, Anna will supply recommended resources and you can reach out to any of our Certified RLT therapists and coaches via our online directory.
What if I can’t make it live?
You’ll get lifetime access to the full recording, transcript, and resources – usually within a few days of the live event.
I’m a therapist or coach. Is this for me?
You’re welcome to join but please keep in mind this is a personal workshop, not a clinical training: the live Q&A is reserved for personal questions rather than clinical application.
What's your refund policy?
We offer a 100% money-back within 48 hours of the live workshop – email support@terryreal.com by Friday, September 11 at 3 PM ET, if the workshop isn’t what you hoped.
