The Art of Relational Repair: Insights from the RLT Conference
I spent an incredible weekend at the first-ever Relational Life Therapy conference in Orlando, immersed in transformative teachings from world-renowned relationship experts. RLT offers powerful tools for building radically honest, fiercely loving relationships where both partners thrive in equality, focusing on intimacy, connection, and practical relational skills.
• RLT focuses on telling the truth in relationships and why honesty creates deeper connection
• Diversity and inclusion play crucial roles in understanding how upbringing affects relationship dynamics
• Learning practical techniques for vulnerability, speaking truth to power, and working through difficult moments together
• Multi-generational trauma can be healed when one person "faces the flame" and changes family patterns
• Happy couples aren't conflict-free but excel at repair after disconnection
• Small repair attempts like reaching for your partner's hand or saying "we're on the same team" can transform relationships
• Relationships aren't meant to be perfect but real—the growth happens in the repair
