Relational Life Therapy (RLT)

Relational life therapy is a no-nonsense form of couples therapy that looks at how partners resolve conflicts.

All relationships experience cycles of harmony, disharmony, and repair. Issues arise if either partner is not aware of how to properly repair the damage caused by conflicts in their relationships. This pattern of disharmony may be caused by socially implied norms within the relationship that one or both partners are unaware of. Some partners also may have sacrificed their inner desires of the heart or their own personally held beliefs to be in the relationship. These desires may have been criticized, shamed or stripped down by society, friends or family. Relational life therapy (RLT) helps couples identify patterns and break the mold by changing their dance step in the relationship. This relational approach to couple’s therapy helps foster feelings of freedom within the relationship through expression of one’s self without fear of anger, blame, shame or retaliation of some form. Relational life therapy (RLT) looks at helping partners resolve conflicts, take personal accountability, improve communication and deepen intimacy within the relationship.
