Emotion and Attachment-based Interventions

Relational Life Therapy (RLT) for Couples

At New Mindset Therapy, we offer Relational Life Therapy (RLT)—a bold, compassionate, and results-driven approach to couples therapy developed by renowned therapist Terry Real. RLT goes beyond traditional talk therapy by helping couples actively break out of long-standing patterns that lead to disconnection, resentment, or emotional shutdown.

RLT is rooted in the belief that healthy relationships require honesty, accountability, and emotional vulnerability. Through respectful yet direct dialogue—often called loving confrontation—couples are guided to take responsibility for their actions, understand the deeper dynamics at play, and learn how to reconnect with empathy, truth, and clarity.

In RLT sessions at New Mindset Therapy, couples will learn how to:



• Communicate with openness and respect
• Identify and change harmful relational patterns
• Rebuild trust and emotional closeness
• Set healthy boundaries
• Embrace accountability without shame or blame

Whether you're facing conflict, feeling emotionally distant, or want to deepen your connection, Relational Life Therapy at New Mindset Therapy offers the tools and insight needed to create lasting, meaningful change together.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy is a compassionate, relationship-focused approach that explores how early life experiences—especially with caregivers—shape the way we connect with others and view ourselves. At New Mindset Therapy, we use attachment-based interventions to help clients understand the emotional patterns that developed from these early bonds and how they may be impacting current relationships, self-esteem, and emotional regulation.

This therapeutic approach is especially helpful for individuals who struggle with:

• Fear of abandonment or rejection
• Difficulty trusting others or forming close relationships
• Emotional detachment or people-pleasing behaviours
• Repeating unhealthy relationship patterns
• Deep-rooted feelings of shame or unworthiness

Through a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship, clients are gently guided to explore their attachment history, build emotional awareness, and form healthier, more secure ways of relating to themselves and others.
