The New Rules of Marriage

Presented by Terry Real, LICSW on 03-18-2011 at 9 a.m. Pacific to 10:30 a.m. Pacific (1:30 p.m. Eastern)

Terry Real will introduce participants to his groundbreaking, new art form of Relational Life Therapy (RLT). This model of therapy is akin to "relationship jujitsu," in which couples build on each other's momentum and get what they need by empowering their partner to give it to them.

This web conference is intermediate instructional level and designed to help clinicians:

Use leverage to break through impasses in couples therapy and turn the couple towards progress;
Describe Relational Life Therapy tools such as: Scanning for Addictions, Acting Out Issues, Stance/Stance and the Dance, Family of Origin, and Inner Child Issues;
Empower the "latent" and reconnect the "blatant” to achieve a renewed bond going forward in their therapy.
