About Boot Camp Mentors Kristy & Jerry

We teach Relationship Boot Camp together live and via ZOOM. We walk the talk. We’ve both been married. Divorced. And remarried to other people, cultivating happiness after some rough times.

Between us, (with separate spouses), have 8 children, along with a few step-children in Kristy’s case. We are personally familiar with the confusion, heartbreak, upset and loss divorce can bring, along with the real-life complications of children, extended family, step-parenting, and new marriage.

We’ve both dealt with the legal system. We both had to learn better relational skills of our own for success in new marriages. We are both now happily married and work on these relational skills every day, week and month.

We are no better nor worse than you. And we’ve been where you may be at.

Relationship Bootcamp

Wouldn’t it be nice to be on the same page, emotionally, with your partner?

Along with my colleague Jerry Sander, LCSW, we offer a two-day Relationship Boot Camp, that  give you the skills you need to change your relationship/s from “so-so” to the path of full-throttle intimacy.

We offer Relationship Boot Camp in person at various locations, and via Zoom. This is an authorized presentation of Terry Real’s Relationship Bootcamp/Essential Skills training.

The workshop is open to all individuals and couples. Through a combination of lecture, in-person role-play, small group exercises, and personal work, this live workshop will teach all participants how to:

• be connected and protected in relationships.
• identify the five losing strategies.
• practice the five winning strategies.
• analyze healthy listening and responding skills.
• identify where they get stuck the most with their current or past partner.
• learn new ways, going forward, without being stuck.

Fees for Two Day Workshop:
$795 per individual
$1,390 per couple
