What Should I Expect from the Relationship Bootcamp?

The Relationship Bootcamp takes place in person for two full days, June 21 and 22, 9am-5pm

You will learn essential skills from Relational Life Therapy (RLT)—the radically effective approach to relationship therapy created by internationally-recognized therapist and bestselling author, Terry Real. RLT is known for its ability to spark profound, lasting change in individuals and their relationships, and these skills will help you build and sustain meaningful connections.

You will learn through a combination of lecture, small group exercises, and personal reflections guided by Amy Robbins LPC and Sheri Hardin LCSW, both Certified Relational Life Therapy Practitioners.

Discover the Real Work of Relationships…
We know that relationships take work, but few of us know what that work actually is…
The real work of relationships isn’t occasional, it’s minute-to-minute.
And this workshop will teach you those critical minute-to-minute skills that build and sustain true intimacy.

By the end of the two days, you’ll have the skills to:
Override your knee-jerk reactions in heated moments to navigate conflict calmly.
Break free from the losing strategies that block you from enjoying true intimacy.
Complain without blame and get more of what you want from your relationship.
Encourage, not discourage, your partner’s efforts, and celebrate progress.
Let go of the battle of who’s right and work together to find a solution.
Join us for this transformative workshop to learn the powerful relational skills you need to create the deeply connected relationship you yearn for.

This is an authorized presentation of Terry Real’s Relational Bootcamp, using the skills and principles from his Relational Life Therapy (RLT) model.

Meet Your Facilitators

Amy Robbins LPC

After spending over 25 years as a therapist, Amy specializes in working with adults and couples facing various challenges, including relationship concerns, grief, depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, parenting, and more. She is committed to fostering a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can feel supported in their journey towards change and growth, reconnecting with their inner strengths and aspirations.

Amy is certified in RLT (Relational Life Therapy) and EMDR.

Amy is an ally to all, a feminist, and a fierce believer in women’s rights.

Describing herself as laid-back, open, honest, loyal, and strength-based, Amy approaches therapy with respect, compassion, and honesty. She creates a space where clients can explore deeply while feeling supported and empowered to navigate their challenges and reach their desired goals.

Outside of therapy, you can find Amy on a river, on a yoga mat, gardening in her backyard, or trying to see where she can book her latest travel with her husband and daughter.

Sheri Hardin LCSW

Sheri has been hooked on psychology since high school. She has always been fascinated by what makes people tick. With over 30 years of experience helping folks navigate everything from family drama and codependence to grief, anxiety, and self-esteem struggles, she’s become a pro at helping people build relationships they actually want to be in.
Sheri is all about helping clients break free from those old, autopilot patterns and discover the freedom of connecting in fresh, fulfilling ways. She’s not afraid to be direct when it counts-but always leads with heart. Clients describe her as genuine, warm, and fiercely loyal.
Sheri is certified in Relational Life Therapy (RLT) and Discernment Counseling.
Sheri is partnered and has a fun college-age daughter. Her partner has fearlessly embraced RLT principles and they have gone through their own RLT relationship transformation together. In her free time, she is often on an adventure such as hiking the Grand Canyon rim to rim, has done her share of mud OCRs, and loves nothing more than a good swing dance or art museum. She is an enthusiastic ally and advocate and can be spotted at local or national rallies.

Getting to the Bootcamp

All participants are required to make their own travel and accommodation arrangements.

The training is held at Wylde Center, 435 Oakview Road, Decatur, GA 30030

How the Relationship Bootcamp Has Helped Others

“Terry Real’s Boot Camp was life-changing for me and my husband. We’ve been together 30+ years so it’d be fair to wonder what would we possibly have to work on. My love-avoidant, grandiose man said this shifted our relationship to a deeper, more loving level; his love-dependent, grandiose wife agrees. The Boot Camp weekend opened up new ways to talk, to see ourselves and to love each other.”

— Sarah P., Portland, OR

“My wife and I both found RLI’s workshop to be exceptional, and well worth the time and effort to fly to Boston. I would recommend it highly, particularly to couples having communication problems. RLI’s approach is unique, but common sense, so it is easy to understand and, hopefully, to apply.”
— A.M., Toronto

“The couples work that you do is so valuable — we are relating now in a wholly new and expansive way. It’s what each of us knew we were missing but could not have found on our own. Thank you so much!”
— Tod, Boston, MA

“For therapists doing couples work, the Boot Camp is a great chance to see a compilation/distillation of RLT skills in action, plus a great way to do your own relational work. That last part was valuable beyond measure and has shaped my work as a therapist and partner in powerful ways.”
— Sarah P.

“I have found that most couples really want a relationship that works for both people and they have no idea how to make that happen. Once they learn that implementing a set of learned skills can achieve their goal, the majority of couples are willing to do things differently. They become empowered to change!”
— J.G., Dallas, TX
