When Terry Real started working with couples in the 90s he found that the conventional wisdom just did not work. Eventually he created his own model for working with couples called Relational Life Terapy.  He has also published several books including his most recent called US: Getting Past You and Me to Build a More Loving Relationship.  Find out more at terryreal.com If you want to buy the book and get the Staying in Love workshop free here is the link https://terryreal.com/freecourse/ Live workshop starting June 14 https://summit.terryreal.com/special/ The Couples Therapist Couch is the podcast for Couples Therapists about the practice of couples therapy.
