DPIR is the Only Curriculum to Teach YOU How to Have Lasting, Powerful and Supportive Relationships with your Partner, Your Family, Your Friends and Your Colleagues, For Life

In 9 months from today, you can have unparalleled breakthrough in your relationships where you will no longer feel stuck, dis-empowered and not seen. This rite of passage will take you through pleasure and pain, intense ups and downs, but you’re going to transform the way you relate to others and it’s going to last a lifetime.

Dear Relational Warrior,

As you’ve heard me say countless times before, being seen and understood by others is a core need we all have. Successfully working out our differences is a core desire most of us have. But our educational and religious institutions, our elders and mainstream media have done nothing to teach us how to accomplish this.

Most adults are just aimless children, pretending they know how to be in a relationship. They bring with them baggage from their youth, generated by chronic superficial connections, trauma or neglect, either on purpose or by freak accident.

That is why a few dozen committed and driven heart warriors from across the globe have joined the 9-month course I created on developing bulletproof intimate relationships.

And for a limited time, we’re opening the doors to this course just for you…

Stop struggling in your relationships. Learn how to create powerful, dynamic and supportive relationships, FOR GOOD

After over ten years as a psychotherapist, I got fed up with the same patterns… if you’ve gone to therapy before, I’m sure you’ve seen them…

A couple would come into my office, after weeks of waiting for an appointment, to discuss a relationship problem they were experiencing. I would spend the next 60 minutes helping them see what is causing their pain and try to help them address it, but it rarely worked.

You see, I had limited ability to follow-up with the couples, to ensure they did the work necessary… but more than that, the couples were rarely all-in and committed to improving the way they relate to others. They just wanted a quick fix to a systemic, life-long roadblock.

Frustrating.

I would regularly come home from the office and complain to my wife Ellen that I just wasn’t making a difference.

Then, I decided something had to change.

If I was going to actualize the DECADES of training I received at the foot of my mentors, like Dawn Larsen (My first therapist) Duey Freeman & Duane Mullner (Master gestalt therapists), Reggie Ray (Vajrayana Buddhist teacher), Alberto (Columbian shaman), Dr John Demartini (Polymath human behavior specialist), Dr Gabor Mate (MD, author and integrative badass) Stan Tatkin (Couple therapist, author), and countless others, I knew I had to create a course… I knew I needed to build THE COURSE to solve the same problems I saw day-in and day-out… for good.

For months, I locked myself in my home office and started piecing together curriculum that would help people become interpersonally intelligent.

Then, in the Spring of 2016, I offered enrollment into the class that I called:

Deep Psychology of Intimate Relationships (DPIR) Professional Certification Program

DPIR is the course I needed when I was early in my partnership with Ellen. Fraught with my own shit, I wasn’t on track to build a lasting partnership, then marriage, and I decided to change that.

I’m excited to offer you this limited time opportunity to join DPIR so that you can become an expert in Interpersonal Intelligence™, relating to others, and being seen and understood by the most important people in your life.

Before we talk about what’s inside DPIR, I want to ask you to envision your life…

Let’s talk about YOU…

Reflecting on your relationships in your life, how do you think you’re doing?

How is your relationship with your partner, if you have one? Do you feel safe and secure, seen and understood, supported and loved on a daily basis? Do they have your back completely? Do you have theirs?

How do you relate to your friends? Do you have at least three friends who are your confidants, whom you can talk to about anything and they are there to support you, not judge you or try to fix you, and who are also willing to challenge you to be better?

Does your relationship with your parents, siblings and possibly children reflect your ideals in relationship? Are you fully satisfied with how your relationships look? Do you have clear boundaries? Or are you laying your values and projections all over them hoping they will conform to your way of living life?

Finally, how is your relationship with yourself? Can you honestly look in the mirror and deeply appreciate the person staring back at you?

My guess is… you’ve got some room for growth.

Maybe your partnership feels like they’re one-foot-out-the-door. If you’re dating or married, you might feel like you’re simply roommates and not in an intimate relationship. Sex aside, you don’t feel like they have your best interest in mind. They’re not committed to your relationship, they’re simply committed to their own needs and desires.

Or perhaps your relationship with your friends is bad. You have dozens of “friends” but when you really think about it, none of these so-called friends actually know the real you. They just know the mask you put on. You might be afraid that if they knew the real you, that they’d leave..

Or family… maybe you’re like so many Relationship School® students who have relationships with their parents that are mired with drama, obligation, and resentment. You might have some baggage from your childhood that has left you astray from your parents and you might be unknowingly bringing that into other relationships.

How about your relationship with yourself? How is your self worth? Do you even like who you are? Be honest… It’s painful to reflect, but get a real pulse for where you are right now…

Something here hurts. You’ve tapped into some pain and hopefully some ownership of that pain.

Listen, we all have our shit. We all have our past, our scars and our painful experiences.

But they’re not your fault. You’re not alone in feeling this way.

Forces across the globe want you to feel like shit, so you can fill that sadness and despair with buying crap you don’t need. Consumerism encourages us that we need another new gadget to ease our pain, but we buy yet another thing, only to feel more disconnected and alone, again.

Now, I want you to think about . That’s about 9 months from now.

Imagine you’re waking up on that day with your current path in life, what is that morning going to look like?

Odds are, you’re going to have the same exact relationship with yourself, with your partner, your friends and parents.

What I want to do is offer you another route. An alternative future for you and your life.

What if, instead of waking up with an intimate relationship that wasn’t intimate, friendships that weren’t deep, and family members that walked all over you or kept you in your childhood role… what if your relationships were completely transformed?

DPIR Professional Certification Program is the only curriculum that will produce lasting, life-long changes in the ways you relate to people in your life

Twice a year, I allow a few dozen committed students into the Deep Psychology of Intimate Relationships program, and enrollment for the course beginning August 26th, 2020 is open – but only until Tuesday, August 19th at Noon MST.

This is your chance to get the relationship training you need to level-up from hopeful, wandering lost soul to a courageous, committed love warrior who demands to be seen and treated in an empowering way.

Here’s what Julie G. said about her experience with DPIR:

“My experience as a student and apprentice in the Relationship School has been life-changing. The teachings that Jayson offers up have really expanded my knowledge. I love the live webinars and the content that he brings and the way he delivers it. Even more important to me is the strong community of other students with whom I practice the skills and who help keep me accountable. The tools that I have learned have helped me to step more into my power in my relationships.

They are practical and easy to digest and integrate into my life. I feel now a greater sense of connection to myself and others than I ever have before because I have learned how to step more into my own authentic expression without sacrificing connection. I wish I had learned these skills earlier since I am experiencing such growth and expansion in my life and in my capacity as a human. I am so excited about the mission of the Relationship School to teach people the class they never had in school. In fact, I’m excited to say that through my involvement in the school, I have changed my career path and I am now embarking on a path as a transformational life and relationship coach. Thank you Jayson Gaddis. I am truly grateful.”

The Interpersonal Intelligence™ skills you will learn are not just taught in an academic way, with scientific support. DPIR students get to learn and practice these skills every week over the 9-month course with practice partners so these skills become part of their natural behavior

As you can see, DPIR isn’t just a few tricks and tips, or a handful of therapy sessions…

DPIR will take you DEEPER into yourself, so you can relate to others in a skillful way, so you can enjoy more love, more connection, and more money

You might be thinking “Wait… more money?!” Hell yes.

In the DPIR course, you’ll have an experience similar to Susan’s:

“The tools are making their mark as I’m embodying them with each experience in and out of practice work. I find I am more likely to speak up; with my family, my friends close and distant. And with that my relationships have become a fertile ground for growth and love. In short, this course has taught me to dare to come back into relationship, with curiosity and a sense of the possibility of connecting in a whole and fulfilled way.”

And when you speak up more at work, you become a Relational Leader. You are walking around with more value. You demand excellence. People notice. You now have the opportunity to grow in your profession. Not only that, but as you increase your own self-worth, people find you more attractive. Think about it. Do you want to be in a relationship with someone that can hang in there and work through conflict because they are standing up for themselves, or be with someone who cowers away and hides in shame and embarrassment? In other words, do you want to be a Relational Leader, or a relational follower who is doing the same old childhood pattern? Which is more attractive?

Are you destined to become a Relationship Coach?

A number of DPIR students have stepped so strongly into being a Relational Leader, that they have gone on to take the Relationship Coach training (RC1). They fell in love with the support they received at DPIR and are building their life to pay-it-forward. DPIR is the prerequisite for the RC1 coaching, so if you’ve ever considered becoming a relationship coach, this investment will get you started!

DPIR is a great way to not only get your shit figured out, but to also see if serving others as a Relationship Coach is your mission.

The training in Deep Psychology of Intimate Relationships has attracted the support of life-long advocates of healthy and safe relationships.

The training in Deep Psychology of Intimate Relationships has attracted the support of life-long advocates of healthy and safe relationships.

Here’s what our Ambassadors are saying about DPIR:

“We need to foster emotional competence in our children, as the best preventive medicine.”

DR. GABOR MATÉ
Ambassador – The Relationship School®

“The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives. When we invest time and energy learning how to love and be loved, we heal pain from the past and we create the conditions for greater health in future generations.”

DR. ALEXANDRA SOLOMON
Ambassador – The Relationship School®

“I mean, none of us learned this stuff in school. We didn’t learn how to learn and we didn’t learn how to do relationships. Those are the two things that should be taught in schools.”

DR. STAN TATKIN
Ambassador – The Relationship School®

Alright, here’s a doozy for you… Back in 1938, scientists began studying the health of 268 Harvard sophomores. This study lasted for 80 years, which constitutes the longest study of happiness with any group of people, ever.

THEIR RESULTS WERE ASTOUNDING…

Harvard Study Finds

Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives

But what do we do every day?

We wake up, brush our teeth, then head to work in order to “make us happy.”

We come home, greet our partner, roommate, or cat, then get lost in a hobby, Netflix or other work.

But we’re not working on our relationships.

Very few of us have the understanding of what the curriculum should be for improving relationships.

I just searched Amazon for “Relationship Advice” and 30,000 books are written on the subject.

Let me tell you a little secret… they’re mostly garbage!

There are only a few books worth reading, and if you read them in the wrong order, you’re going to set yourself up for long-term frustration. You’ll learn tools that depend on a foundation you haven’t learned.

Why? Because those books lack partner practice. Those books don’t include two in-person “reprogramming” workshops to help you clear your shit. Those books lack Interpersonal Intelligence™. Those books don’t come with an experienced Relationship Coach who will help you work through your issues and answer your questions one-on-one.

I know because I tried that. For years, I read and studied. It didn’t work. In fact, in my 3 year, $60,000 graduate program on counseling and psychology, not one class was offered on relationships. WTF?

That’s why I created DPIR – So you can earn your way to personal empowerment and fulfillment faster. 

DPIR is your opportunity to get a Master’s Degree in Interpersonal Intelligence™ and relating to others, without wasting your time with unproven theories, short-sighted approaches or archaic, debunked processes.

WATCH THIS VIDEO AND SEE…

Knowing that the Harvard study found that relationships and community lead to long-term happiness, are you willing to invest in yourself to demand the relationships you deserve?

Having a powerful intimate relationship, friendships and community is your birthright. Are you going to claim it?

If you’re committed to yourself and to building a lifetime of strong, supportive and sexy relationships, I want to challenge you to join DPIR right now.

Corrine was a broke college student, but knew DPIR would help her grow and become the person knew she could be:

Let’s talk about the price. It’s the biggest objection I hear to DPIR, and it’s a good objection.

$6,500 isn’t cheap.

But if you’ve ever been in therapy, you know that the good therapists are never in-network, and you have to pay out of pocket. That’ll run you upwards of $200/hour, with an average of 4-6 sessions a month. Over the course of 9 months, you’ll have spent over $10,000… but what will you have to show for it?

Not much!

In my experience as a psychotherapist and relationship coach, couples might feel more clear about why they’re triggered in a certain situation, but will they have lasting resolution and a framework to ensure the problem never happens again?

Absolutely not.

Look, therapy can be awesome. But if you don’t learn a framework, and practice with new tools consistently, you’ll keep repeating the same patterns, over and over. 

If you haven’t been to therapy because of the social stigma around it, or maybe because your partner won’t attend, or even because you don’t think it’s necessary for you, you’re still walking around with baggage. Trust me.

In your friendships, in the way you relate to your parents, siblings and children, you’re not being seen for who you really are. And, you might be not seeing others for who they are, because you’ve gotten lazy.

And that’s got to be a drag, huh?

To exist in the world as someone who is inauthentic and dis-empowered.

It’s exhausting to parade around as someone else all day, just so you can feel liked. In fact, one of the biggest hidden reasons people feel the “blahs” or depressed is because they are trying to be someone they’re not.

On , you’ll be 9 months older than you are today. If you join DPIR right now and commit to yourself, you’ll not only be older, but you’ll be wiser. You’ll have a deep understanding of who you are, what you need, how you relate to others, and how to create community. You will be THE person at the party that knows how to work through interpersonal differences and conflicts (because you did the work and learned Interpersonal Intelligence™). You’ll feel more fulfilled, mature, and empowered. You’ll probably sleep better too.

Are you ready to commit?

100% Money Back Guarantee


When you enroll into DPIR, you are eligible for a 60-day, unconditional refund of any payments made, minus your non-refundable deposit. This policy begins on the first day of class, and includes any payments made prior to then (excluding your deposit). You will have 60 days from then to exit the course and provide us with a written request for a refund. We require that you take part in an exit interview with a member of our student development team, prior to releasing your funds. After 60 days, you are no longer eligible for a refund, and any requests made for one will not be honored, under any circumstances.

60 days allows you time to attend the live event (required), do the homework, participate in partner calls, attend growth sessions and listen to the course content for approximately 3-4 classes. You will have a good taste of what we are doing. It’s also a time for us to evaluate your ability to do the work. We expect students to abide by the student agreement outlined in your student handbook. We reserve the right to remove you from the course, at any point, if we determine you are not ready for the program or are not abiding by the student agreements. Should this occur within the first 60 days, your full payment minus the non-refundable deposit will be refunded, provided it is within the first 60 days. If this occurs after the first 60 days, your right to a refund will be forfeited and you will remain obligated to any remaining payments.

Your investment into DPIR does not end with your financial payment. An investment of time and energy are required, and if you are selected to enroll in our program, you are expected to play full out! We will lean into challenges together and you will not only learn how to have a successful relationship, you will learn what it feels like, because you will be a part of one with our School. It takes hard work, commitment and a willingness to apply consistent, steady practice. If you will engage in the process and take risks, you will leave here with the kind of lifelong results that can never be learned in a textbook.

February 5thI believe that, and that’s why I started The Relationship School®. I’m building an army of Love Warriors who are changing our society.

I want my kids to grow up in a world where they feel heard and understood. I’m teaching my kids to work out their differences effectively and efficiently. I want them to feel safe to be exactly who they are.

But I can’t do that alone.

So aside from you changing your life and your relationships, you’re also changing the world for my kids. Your commitment to yourself raises my commitment to our community; I will stand and fight for you, so you can clear your shit and get to your open hearted self, so that you can transform the world.

By graduating DPIR, you’ll have a profound sense of achievement and you’ll be deeply connected to this growing mob of Love Warriors.

I’m changing the world but I need your help. I commit to be here with you through the highs and lows, but I need your commitment.

Are you ready to join DPIR and get the relationships you deserve?

Sign up right now. We start Wednesday, February 5th. Do this for yourself, do this for your own happiness, do this for our society. Just fucking do it.

In support of YOU,

Harville Hendrix, the founder of the Imago Method, said this about relationships:

“The best thing a society can do for itself is to promote and support healthy couples, and the best thing partners can do for themselves, for their children, and for society is to have a healthy relationship!”

Scholarships for BIPOC & LGBTQIA+

Click here for information about scholarships

The mission of The Relationship School® is to bring our community-changing relationship training into one million homes, turning dedicated individuals into relational leaders who are willing to change the dynamic of their intimate relationships, their relationship with their family, their relationship with their community, and their relationship with the world.

In order to reach this mission, we created the Diversity Outreach Scholarship Program. In 2020 we’re offering a select number of partial scholarships (50% off tuition) to students who identify as BIPOC & LGBTQIA+ into DPIR who are committed to the program and all it entails.

Since I’m a white guy, I tend to be blind to my privilege, which is why I enrolled in an equity course called Waking Toward Woke taught by two women of color (Check out their podcast “That’s not how that works”). It shed a light on how I can remain blind because I don’t have to deal with the challenges that Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) face every day.

My growing awareness has motivated me to strive for greater equity here at the Relationship School. We seek to become an equity-based organization where people of color and marginalized identities are represented in our outreach, courses, and alumni.

Recognizing the importance of having a student population that reflects the diversity in the community, this scholarship to take our signature DPIR course is open to BIPOC and those from marginalized communities. This material is so valuable that we want to ensure it reaches these traditionally underserved and underrepresented populations. The scholarship amount is based on our budget, the number of applicants, and need.

We take our container very seriously and not everyone is a good fit for our program. We look for things like readiness, mental health status, emotional intelligence and how much personal growth and development work you have done in the past. Therefore, every student who applies for DPIR, has an interview. And scholarship applicants may have 2 interviews unless it can be completed in one.

Eligibility:

  • Diversity Outreach Scholarships are focused on BIPOC & LGBTQIA+, therefore the applicant must be of one or more of these identities.
  • Applicants must complete:
    1. The DPIR BIPOC or the DPIR LGBTQIA+ Scholarship Application
    2. Required DPIR interview (an important process to be sure you are prepared to succeed in DPIR. Everyone who is accepted into the class goes through an interview.) )
    3. If selected, recipients must be able to submit their $500 deposit within a week of notification to accept the partial scholarship, otherwise, their scholarship will be forfeited.

You will be selected based on these criteria:

  • Identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+
  • Your financial need for help
  • Strong desire and potential to succeed in the DPIR program
  • Interview performance

Application Deadline:

  • Deadline for submissions is TBA
  • All applicants will be notified of the status of their application by TBA

Important Facts About the DPIR Scholarship Application:

  • This is a partial scholarship for $3250 off of the total course fee.
  • You must complete the DPIR BIPOC or DPIR LGBTQIA+ Scholarship Application process
  •  Note: If applying for the DPIR BIPOC or DPIR LBGTQIA+ Scholarship, you only need to submit the scholarship application (located below). This will also qualify as your application to the DPIR Program.
  • The number of scholarships and amounts to be awarded will be based on the number of applicants and need
  • All applications will be reviewed and not every applicant will be granted an interview
  • We do not guarantee you will receive a scholarship if you apply
  • Submit your application here

NOTE: If we do not receive the full application, we cannot consider you for our scholarship program.

This scholarship includes $3250 of the course tuition and requires the recipient to commit to the following:

  • If selected, recipients must be able to submit their $500 deposit within a week of notification to accept the partial scholarship, otherwise, their scholarship will be forfeited.
  • Attend both of the course’s live in-person events in Boulder, CO
  • Attending 80% or more of the growth sessions
  • Complete all homework on time
  • Basically, rock the course, full on!

The travel and lodging fees associated with the live events in Boulder must be paid by the scholarship recipient. The average cost of a hotel room per night is $100-200 and transportation to the hotel from the Denver airport is approximately $10 each way (on the RTD bus).

Again, the scholarship recipient must commit to attending the two live events and covering their transportation, lodging, and incidentals.

If you’re committed to attending the live events in September 2020 and May 2021 (exact dates TBA) and are available at 12:30pm MT for 50-minute growth sessions every other Wednesday during first and second semester, we invite you to apply for the DPIR scholarships below.
