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 breakthroughs in your relationships where you will no longer feel stuck, disempowered and not seen. This rite of passage will take you through pleasure and pain and 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. But our educational and religious institutions, our elders and the 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 and trauma or neglect, either on purpose or by freak accident.

That is why over 100 committed and driven heart warriors from across the globe have joined this 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…

[When I joined DPIR] I had come out of a 25 year marriage and was very curious to look at my relationship and where things went wrong. I was in a new relationship and I wanted to make sure I didn’t repeat old patterns of my own behaviour. Both my partner and I have listened to many of Jayson’s podcasts which is very helpful because we can speak the same language and I feel better equipped to deal with all my relationships and their communication patterns after taking the DPIR course.

The course is not just for intimate relationships. One can carry all the learning into aspects of all relationships. I feel much more aware of my own way of communicating and can recognize others’ ways of communicating. I could not recommend this course more!!

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

After more than 10 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 and 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 (couples therapist and 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 a curriculum that would help people become interpersonally intelligent relational leaders.

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

Deep Psychology of Intimate Relationships (DPIR)

The 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 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 the relationships in your life, how do you think you’re doing?

Honestly. 

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?

If you are single, do you really like yourself and your past relationship results?

How do you relate to your friends? Do you have at least three friends who are your confidants with 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 always 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 subpar. You have dozens of “friends” but when you really think about it, you feel alone and not one of these so-called friends actually knows 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..

 

And with your 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 led 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 let’s get a real pulse for where you are right now…

 

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

 

Listen, we all have our stuff. 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.

With the 2020 Coronavirus and all of the challenges it has brought, you might feel more scared, alone, and disconnected.

With “social distancing” many of us have isolated, or we feel trapped with people that drive us crazy.

At some point you might feel like shit, and if you are normal, instead of reaching for an awesome partner or friend in your time of need that will actually be there for you, you fill that sadness and despair with buying crap you don’t need, you stare at your screen, or binge on Netflix. Consumerism tells 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.

Omph…

Now, I want you to think about hitting the snooze button on your issues a little longer.

And let’s pretend it’s 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, and with 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… your relationships were completely transformed? What if you finally took a stand for yourself and became a relational leader?

That is what this course is all about. 

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

This is your chance to get the relationship training you need to level-up from a 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.”

If you enroll in DPIR, you’ll learn skills like…

  • How relationships really work, and how to know if you’re living in a childish fantasy.
  • How to set the context for a meaningful conversation so you can get to things that matter (instead of just talking about the weather!).
  • Tools that help you connect to yourself in just a moment in order to be more present and act from a place of intention and care (you’ll also have HOURS of practice with optional practice partners in the program so that this becomes a rehearsed skill and not just an academic education).
  • The secrets of building rapport, connecting with anyone verbally and non-verbally (I use this with my wife all the time when life gets chaotic and I want to get grounded in our relationship). I even use this to connect with any stranger on the street or at a networking function.
  • Understanding your top three priorities and sussing out colleagues, friends, family and your partners so you can serve them and appreciate them while getting your needs met.
  • How to set clear, proactive boundaries so you can have more personal integrity (which is very attractive) instead of abandoning yourself and getting walked all over.
  • The 6-step approach to getting into someone’s world and finding ways to support them (this will QUICKLY flip the switch between ‘casual friend’ to ‘committed friend’, so use it carefully!).
  • How to feel validated and how to validate others (this is the cornerstone to feeling heard, seen and understood).
  • Owning your NEEDS! Yes, you have them.
  • Identifying who you are (this is huuuuuge), and what you stand for (once you understand this, your actions start to fall into place and you feel in alignment with a greater sense of purpose).
  • How to apologize in a way that leaves both you and the other party empowered and grateful (and how to get your partner to do this, too!).
  • The “trick” to accepting praise and acknowledgment from others without deflecting, dodging or hiding.
  • How to give heartfelt appreciations to others so that they open up to explore a deeper bond and connection with you.
  • Challenging others skillfully (grads use this tool to call out colleagues who aren’t pulling their weight or to get their kids to rise-up and be helpful without feeling icky or like a bitch or a jerk).
  • … and a whole lot more.

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 optional practice partners so these skills become part of their natural behavior.

As a student of DPIR, you’ll be enrolled in:

  • 18 lectures taught by me on the core curriculum.
  • Optional weekly practice sessions with new and different practice partners (according to our students, this is one of the most beneficial parts of the course because practice translates into results in real life).
  • An optional Facebook group of committed students who are on your team, rooting for your success.
  • Regular homework (which will take about 1-2 hours each week).
  • Reflection papers where you share your experience reading and applying principles from a mighty tome of relationship strategies.
  • A self-exam which you’ll take at the end of each semester to test your knowledge of each skill.

That means you’ll have:

  • Hours and hours of Study, Practice, and Connection
  • 18 hours of class time and Q and A
  • 15 hours of study outside of class
  • 18 hours of optional practice sessions with DPIR classmates
  • 18+ homework assignments
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, and 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 that others follow.

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 blames and 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 one is more attractive?

That’s not all. Check this out. 

You might even be ready to switch career paths and become a Relationship Coach, helping others, working from home, and doing deeply meaningful work. 

 

Are you destined to become a Relationship Coach?

A number of DPIR graduates have stepped so strongly into being a relational leader that they have gone on to take the Relationship Coach training (RCT). They fell in love with the support they received at DPIR and are building their life to pay it forward.

DPIR is actually part of the RCT program, 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.

Experts Support Our Mission and YOU

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 lack Interpersonal Intelligence™. Those books don’t come with an experienced Relationship Teacher who will help you work through your issues with effective homework assignments that actually change things.

I know this because I tried to read a few books and change. 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 or on how to work through conflict. 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.

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. Click the button below to get started.

Here is what some DPIR grads had to say about this life-changing course:

 

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

$6,000 $1,997 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?

Maybe some relief here and there? 

Do you want 12 therapy sessions or a curriculum that will completely change how you do relationships forever? 

In my experience as a former psychotherapist and Relationship Coach, you might feel more clear about why you’re triggered in a certain situation, and you might even feel relief. But will you have lasting resolution and a framework to ensure the problem never happens again?

As therapist and neuroscientist Dr. Rick Hanson says, “Therapy is good at activation, but not installation.” 

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 not be 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 disempowered is a huge bummer.

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.

About a year from now, you’ll be 12 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 who 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?

What our graduates say

I live in Germany, so when the Relationship School announced the DPIR Course, I was immediately on board, because it meant I could finally do the relational deep-dive I had been looking for without having to travel to the US. The DPIR Course is a comprehensive, experiential and powerful training that is filled to the brim with tools and insights. As an avid listener of Jayson’s podcast I was familiar with some of the tools, but over the period of nine months I was able to disassemble and, ultimately, reassemble the ways I show up in relationships. I’ve learned a ton, and I am continuously going back to the course to repeat certain exercises. I continue to deepen my understanding of what I’ve learned. In the process, my relational life slowly but surely changed – as well as my understanding of what is possible in a relationship and what kind of relationship I am actually looking for.
Sven V. - Germany

I have an amazing intimate relationship and that’s more than I was looking for when I signed up for DPIR last year. My life would have been a very different one if I had these skills 20 years ago. Through DPIR and the Facebook Group, I now have a group for support, accountability and a place to practice reflective listening. My husband and I are faithfully checking in with each other intentionally at least once a week, if not more. We are doing the exercises and working on some growth activities around the things that most trigger the other. It’s definitely difficult to use all the tools all the time, but even when it’s an uncomfortable situation, we always resolve whatever the issue is quickly and end up stronger. I genuinely feel blessed by your work, thank you!
Katharine S. - Utah

The thing I have gotten out of this class that I did not expect at all, like I knew I would learn how to manage conflict better and skillfully be able to go into parenting situations with more confidence and ease, and I’ve gotten all of that, but here’s what else, which is a surprise is when I look in the mirror now I like who I see more.

Denise S. - Viroquoa, WI

The single most important decision I’ve made in my life, massive benefits. 

Art M. - San Francisco Bay area

I’m overwhelmed with gratitude considering the transformations I’ve experienced in my relationships. I love the effective tools, methods, and support that helped me embody deep confidence as a partner, coach, father, friend and beyond. I light up thinking about how growing in this way has had an exponential impact on my life and family – I can’t imagine a better investment in myself. My only regret is not “Getting this” sooner.

To say it’s been life changing feels trite, but I don’t know how else to describe this and how powerful it is. I’m just feeling more secure in who I am and what I’m doing and how that reflects in business. I’m establishing better boundaries to support myself. I’m not feeling as emotional around the ups and downs of business, which has been huge for my well being.
Casey S. - Philadelphia, PA

Yeah, it’s been the best thing I’ve ever done, honestly, just for so many reasons, not only relationship wise but just for my own self… It’s only been a year since I got divorced, but we’re able to co-parent, be great friends. My relationship with my kids has significantly improved. I’m doing a lot of work outside of this course as well, but this place has been the top thing that’s changed it.

Abby B. - Minneapolis, MN

I feel completely transformed. There are places I still feel stuck in my personal relationships, and I know I have more clarity about how to address those things and more confidence moving forward, and that really came from this course. It felt good to invest that in myself and my personal growth journey.
