What is Relational Life Therapy(RLT)?
Discover the integrative couples therapy approach which equips individuals with lifelong skills to create more authentic, honest, and intimate connections.
Helping Couples Remember They’re on the Same Side
Designed to foster deep healing and enduring change, our approach recognises that true connection with others starts with connecting to yourself. RLT focuses first on helping individuals reconnect with their own feelings, desires, and needs, creating a foundation for more fulfilling and authentic relationships with others.
What makes RLT unique?
To rebuild intimacy and trust, Relational Life Therapy tackles behaviors and their underlying causes in a proactive and constructive way. This practical and direct form of therapy focuses on open communication, personal responsibility, and conflict resolution, helping you and your partner cultivate a more loving and healthy relationship.
In RLT, we “connect through truth” to immediately address the issues without placing blame, becoming angry, or retaliating. RLT takes an honest look at both partners’ actions.
The final result is a new set of interpersonal skills for how to interact with one another, respect one another, and experience lifelong intimacy. This type of treatment is very action-oriented and deals with problems and behaviors in a straightforward manner.
RLT is especially helpful when there is an imbalance of power between partners. It enables the less dominant partner to discover their voice and become less reactive, while assisting the more dominant partner in realising their need for control and stepping aside. This restores balance and respect in the relationship.
