Do I Need This?

We know relationships take work, but few of us know what that work actually is. And the work isn't occasional, it's minute-to-minute! We will teach you those minute-to-minute skills that build and sustain connection. 

​

Even the best of relationships have seasons of disharmony. Will this workshop solve all of your relationship issues? No. Yet it will make meaningful change if you are ready to put in the "work". 

​

This weekend is called a bootcamp for a reason - it is designed to help participants make significant progress in a short amount of time.

​

By the end of the two days you'll have the skills to: 

​✔️ Identify the five losing strategies

✔️ Practice the five winning strategies

✔️ Gain clarity around relational challenges that have persisted for years

✔️ Implement healthy listening and effective, connecting responses

✔️ Identify where you get stuck most often with your current or past partner 

✔️ Start to build healthy self-esteem and effective boundaries

✔️ Navigate conflict constructively

"Terry Real's Bootcamp 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 Bootcamp weekend opened up new ways to talk, to see ourselves and to love each other."
