Great Relationships Aren’t Rocket Science. They’re Habits. And You Can Learn Them.

Relationship Skills Boot Camp

with Dr. Darcy Sterling of Famously Single and Stephanie Sterling, LCSW Finally, a step-by-step program that teaches you exactly how.

Whether you have a history of endless fighting in past relationships Or you’re tired of dating the same type of person again and again – Relationship Skills Boot Camp is your path to happiness.

WHAT’S THE #1 KEY TO A HAPPY LIFE?

It’s not money and it’s not becoming famous (though most people think it is). It’s the answer to this question:

Are You Happy In Your Love Life?

What is Relationship Skills Boot Camp (RSBC)

RSBC is a 9-week online training program designed to take you through a step-by-step system  ensuring that your next relationship is the relationship of your dreams.

We know they work because we’ve been where you’re at. It worked on us. It’s worked on our clients. It’s worked for the celebs on Famously Single. And it will work on you.

You’ll learn and practice researched-based tools to build new habits and skills so that in your next relationship you can:

Bypass Fighting

Trust Your Partner and Yourself

Deepen Your Connection

Create Long-Term Passion - Forever

How?

Your love life is nothing more than a result of your habits. If those habits are amazing, you’ll have an amazing love life. If those habits suck, your love life will suck.

By the time you finish RSBC, you’ll have learned and practiced research-based relationship habits so frequently – they’ll just be part of your daily life. Forever.

What makes RSBC Different?

RSBC teaches you tools and skills that have been tested and re-tested by researchers in the field of relationship studies. We don’t promise you miracles - we promise to teach you methods that stand the test of time.

Steph and Darcy are licensed therapists with a private practice that’s been in existence since 1998. A combined 30 years of clinical experience (we're talking licensed therapists - not coaches), 2 seasons of working with celebrity clients on E! Network's Famously Single, and countless clients, we've got this down to a science: The Science of Relationships.

Take the entire course. Yup. Every lesson. Attend our live office hours every single week. Submit all your homework assignments when they're due. If, by the end, you don’t find value, we’ll refund your money. 

You Don’t Have To Figure This Out Alone. We’ll Hold Your Hand The Entire Way.

RELATIONSHIP SKILLS BOOT CAMP is your solution.

HOW IT WORKS

Each week, you’ll receive a one-of-a-kind video lesson delivered right to your inbox. It will look just like our free training videos, except it will be longer and it will have downloadable worksheet(s) which you’ll complete for that week’s homework.

Later in the week, you’ll submit your homework to us along with any questions you have about that week’s materials.

Each week, you’ll join us for our LIVE Office Hours on video chat where we’ll answer your questions, we’ll make sure you’re understanding the material and that you’re properly practicing it in your everyday life.

Have A Look At our Syllabus Below.

Lesson 1: THE 3 STAGES OF RELATIONSHIPS

In this lesson, you’ll get the foundation for your long term success.

You’ll discover:

Z

The 3 stages of relationships.

Z

Why stage 2 is where most relationships fail - and how to avoid it.

Z

How being in either a "cold war" (very little interaction) or "active combat" (think, Jersey Shore) are signs of the same underlying problem in your relationship.

Lesson 2: CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP PATTERNS

You’re recreating your childhood patterns in your relationships. In this lesson, you’ll learn:

Z

Why you're attracted to people who trigger your deepest childhood wounds.

Z

The 2 relationship–destroying things you do that have nothing to do with who you’re dating and everything to do with you and your childhood. Ignore these, and every relationship will fail.

Z

Practical exercises to help you identify your parents’ traits that you look for in partners… so you can escape negative patterns for good.

Lesson 3: HOW PRIORITIZING THE RELATIONSHIP CHANGES EVERYTHING

When you learn the importance of prioritizing the relationship over your individual needs, you dramatically increase the chances of your relationship lasting. In this lesson, you’ll :

Z

Create a new lens through which you see your partner. You've been looking at your partner through a dirty lens.

Z

The most effective way to put an end to drama.

Lesson 4: COMMUNICATION 101

Having effective communication skills is the single most important relationship skill. Want to know how to end a fight next time you’re in a relationship? This tool’s for you. In this lesson you’ll learn:

Z

The 6 do’s and the 16 don’ts of effective, healthy communication (notice all the don’ts? Basically you’re bound to have done something – or several somethings – wrong in past relationships! Find out why they’re in this lesson.)

Z

The most valuable tool for communication - and by the end of RSBC, you'll be a rockstar at using it.

Z

The rookie mistakes we see people make when implementing these skills, and how you can avoid them.

Lesson 5: VULNERABILITY

The only way we bond or feel true connection is through vulnerability. It is to relationships what flour is to bread-the stuff that holds it together. In this lesson you’ll learn:

Z

How to rip off the layers of armor you've built throughout your entire life so that you can connect on a much deeper level.

Z

The red flag that you need to watch out for in future partners. We don’t say this lightly, but if you see this, you need to move on.

Z

Specific, daily opportunities for you to practice vulnerability (yup, even though you’re single!)

Lesson 6: EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT

The ultimate adult skill to have – when you have emotional management skills, you have the ability to keep your cool when you’re emotionally triggered so that you don’t sabotage your relationships by losing it.   You’ll discover:

Z

The science behind survival mode, so you can understand it, move past it, and finally thrive in all your relationships.

Z

The 3 Survival Response Styles, how to tell which is YOUR default response, and how to respond when you’re negatively triggered. Using our Pattern Interrupt Formula, you’ll be able to cool yourself down in heated moments and come back with a clear head.

Z

How and when to take your emotional temperature. People make their biggest relationship mistakes by getting this wrong - by trying to talk when they should pause. But if you do this right, destructive meltdowns and relationship-destroying fights will become a thing of the past. This lesson puts an end to relationship drama!

Lesson 7: THE RELATIONSHIP BANK ACCOUNT

You have a relationship bank account in every relationship – even the platonic ones. Every day, you’re either making deposits into or withdrawals out of those bank accounts. In this lesson, we teach you how to create outstanding daily habits that result in a positive balances, plus:

Z

The ratio of withdrawals and deposits you need for a healthy relationship (no, it's not 1:1), and how to make them.

Z

The formula to building a relationship filled with trust and integrity.

Z

You’ll learn how to maintain a positive balance.

Lesson 8: YOUR RELATIONSHIP VALUES

When you share the same values with a partner, you’re in agreement about what’s most important in your life. When you’re in agreement about what’s most important in your life, it doesn’t take as much effort to please the person you’re dating. You don’t have to be as disciplined in your words or behaviors, because you share deeper reasons for meeting each other’s needs.

Stop white-knuckling good behavior and start living in flow. In this lesson, we’ll show you:

Z

How to achieve true heart-pounding intimacy so that your relationship has the staying power of forever.

Z

The 3 Relationship Values Questions you need to ask yourself to determine what your Relationship Values are. These Values will act as your North Star in determining who you’ll next choose to be in a relationship with.

Z

How to write your Relationship Mission Statement - even when you’re single - so that when you make your next commitment, you’ll be clear regarding where you as a member of the couple end and where you as an individual begin. Writing a Relationship Mission Statement was one of the toughest things we ever did in our relationship, but once we hammered it out, it became the ‘why’ behind our actions and decisions, making it much easier to act in the best interest of our relationship. You’ll also learn the 2 most common rookie mistakes that prevent you from defining relationship values, and how to avoid them.

Lesson 9: THE ETERNAL COURTSHIP

“While Dr. Darcy taught me a lot about relationships, I think the most important thing I learned from her is that it all starts within myself. She made me realize my own personal anxieties and has given me countless ways to relieve the stresses in my life that I still use today.”

“Dr. Darcy’s advice helped me learn to trust again, to listen more and that its ok to be vulnerable. I’m now in a successful & healthy relationship that I must say is all because I have applied the relationship skills I learned with Dr. Darcy.”

“Working with Dr. Darcy has been a complete game changer for me. She helped me sharpen all of my rusty relationship blades by trusting myself to grow. Now, I am no longer a “One Trick Pony” who leads with sensuality and sex. After receiving her guidance, I now know that I am worthy and capable of finding my one and only soul mate.

RSBC Will Change Your Love Story

How?  Your love life is nothing more than a result of your habits.  RSBC teaches you how to create new daily relationship habits that will result in less fighting, deeper connection, and lasting passion in your next relationship.         By the time you finish RSBC, those habits will be as routine as brushing your teeth.

Have a hard time expressing yourself when you're dating because you fear starting a fight?

Miss having someone to share the little daily successes with?

Z

Been cheated on or heartbroken, and want to learn how to trust again?

Z

Been told by exes that you should be able to fix the problems yourselves when you've suggested couples counseling?

What if your next date could be the last first date you ever have to go on?

You Want That Beginning Feeling Again.

This May Seem Like An Impossible Dream. Especially if your exes have made you feel:

E

Misunderstood, unheard, emotionally exhausted and like there’s no winning.

E

Like they weren't on your side.

E

Like any conversation could turn into World War 3.

E

Like you had to walk on eggshells.

But even if you weren’t at each other’s throats, the routine and predictability that comes with a long-term, committed relationship can leave you feeling bored and wishing for more.

Not being miserable doesn’t mean you’re happy.

Relationships don’t have to be this way.

You Just Need Relationship Skills.

Shouldn’t your next partner be:

Your biggest cheerleader?

Z

Your rock?

Z

The person you can turn to for support and have to celebrate with?

Z

Looking to end the tedium of dating.

Looking to break your old patterns.

Z

Looking to learn new skills.

Z

Refusing to accept a mediocre relationship.

Shouldn't Your Partner be:

And what if you had the tools you need to ensure that your relationship doesn’t just survive – it thrives? What if 9 short weeks from now You could be SET FOR LIFE in the Love Department?

They stand today stronger, better trained, and more committed than ever to providing clients with services unparalleled in the field of personal growth and development.

"Dr. Darcy Sterling [is] upstanding because her whole approach, the tenets that underpin her thinking, and the personal, progressive paradigm that underscores her work, places [her] head and shoulders above the rest... not just in the USA, but internationally."

Alex Concorde, MD

"With Dr. Darcy you get a phenomenal therapist, coach, teacher, and champion-in-your-corner... As a colleague, we have consulted with her regarding numerous clients and have found her advice to be both illuminating and on-point. She is an empowered person who has done the work for herself and so her counseling comes from a very real place. She doesn't just talk the talk - she walks the walk. We would recommend Dr. Darcy without hesitation to anyone who wants to turn their life around."

"I almost cried at today's [RSBC] video. I really saw how the give and take has affected my relationship. I can't wait for the next part you have planned! You and your wife are an amazing team. Seriously, where have you been in my dating life? You kick ass! Ready to learn more."

Dominic

"Steph listens more intently than the best of friends, and remembers every detail... She is so completely non-judgmental in her work that here office always feels like the safest of spaces, and my time there hugely comfortable."

Mary

"Before RSBC I made every relationship mistake imaginable (usually more than once!) I picked the wrong guys and I stayed in relationships even when I knew it wasn't working. By learning how to identify my needs, communicate my needs, and fight fairly, I now have the tools to create my best relationship yet. Best of all, I no longer see a successful relationship as "making it work" or simply staying together. Darcy and Steph showed me that a relationship can be so much more!"

Amita, RSBC Class of 2016

"Steph has the ability to connect and create safety, allowing everyone around her to feel comfortable sharing how they feel. Steph's ability to do this made the process of becoming an Imago Relationship Therapist easier. Steph's skills, professionalism, and warmth make her a relationship therapist I would refer to over and over again."

Michelle McKeirnan, LPC Certified Imago Relationship Therapist, Hollidaysburg, PA

"You are no celebrity therapist[s]. You are the bomb! On point. Engaged. Emphatic. Beautiful. The reason I'm glued!"

John

"The relationship bank account video is a metaphor that I will be using here on out... RSBC is the way. Yeah you can quote me on the last one! Thanks again,"

Greg

"I was very reluctant to speak with a therapist after some bad experiences and horror stories from friends, but Steph's openness won me over. The positive impact working with her has had on my life is immeasureable."

E. Browne

"My biggest takeaway from RSBC was the importance of effective communication. It gave me the skills necessary to develop and improve ALL my relationships. If you're on the fence about taking RSBC, I'd say it's the best investment you'll ever make!"

FAQ's

Q. When does it start?
A. We know it's summertime and you've got lots of plans. That's why we're starting RSBC in September - Sunday, September 10th. You'll be back to your normal schedule and be able to kick off the academic year / wrap up the last quarter of 2017 feeling great about putting yourself first.
Q. How Much Time Will This Take Up?
A. We're not going to lie to you. It will take up a lot of time. At least an hour a day - some days you'll need more than an hour. It's a significant time investment - and as with anything, you'll get out of it what you put into it. It's intended to be an immersive experience. That's why we call it boot camp. Because you'll live, eat and breathe it for 9 weeks. But you can do it. All you need is a willingness to begin. We'll keep you motivated the entire time!
Q. I hate school. Will I be bored?
A. If you hate school, it's probably because you were required to learn subjects that didn't interest you or because you had boring teachers. We're going to let you in on a little secret: We were worried about the course being boring too - which is why we partnered with one of the executive producers of Famously Single - to make sure we were teaching the material in a way that was entertaining, that would keep you focused and engaged. Bottom line: You won't be bored. We got you on that one.
Q. Do I get access to the entire course all at once?
A. No. You'll get access to one lesson each week. We did this intentionally because we don't want you binging on it. You have to learn one thing at a time. Each module builds on the previous module(s), which means you have to learn the first ones first before you can learn the next ones. And you can't properly learn the material without doing the homework that's designed to have you put that week's lesson into action in your life. You have to trust us on this one. It's a methodology that's taken us years to create, and just like a recipe, you have to follow it exactly if you want the results we're promising you.
Q. Can I work with Darcy & Steph individually?
A. Our hope is that all your needs will be met through the lessons and our office hours, however, we recognize that you may need time with us alone. In that event, we will do our best to accommodate you to schedule an individual session which you'll pay for according to our hourly rate.
Q. Do I get access to Darcy & Steph every week?
A. Yes. We'll both participate in office hours each week. If you have a question you want addressed during office hours, you'll have to submit the question to us by a specific day and time each week and, provided we haven't answered it in previous office hours calls, we'll put you on the agenda. We'll have a limited amount of time and we may have to pick and choose among the most pressing questions to be sure that those we answer will be the most beneficial to the entire RSBC community.
Q. What if I feel overwhelmed?
A. We get it. We're therapists. This is new material. You're probably going to have moments of overwhelm. That's why we hold office hours. And, when office hours aren't enough, you have the option of requesting an individual session with one of us.
Q. I don’t have the money right now.

A. If you don't have the money to pay in one lump sum, you always have the option of a payment plan. And while we know that RSBC is a serious investment, look at what your other options will cost: Couple's Therapy (on average via Forbes.com): $2,400.00 for 12 weeks. Contested Divorce (on average via Forbes.com): $15,000-30,000 + 17.6 months. Bottom line: These are skills and tools you'll have for a lifetime. Not to be glib, but that's sort of priceless.

Q. What are my payment options?
A. You have two options: You can either pay the tuition in full, for $1, 997.00, or you can choose our payment plan and take four months to pay for it in equal installments of $547.00 for a total of $2188.00. If you choose the payment plan, your payments will be automatically charged on the same date of the month every month.
Q. Do I get a discount if I take RSBC with a friend?
A. Yup, you sure do. Register for RSBC with ONE friend and you each get 10% off. Register with TWO or more friends and you each get 15% off. Not too shabby!
Q. I have a good relationship. Do I need RSBC?
A. It's fabulous that you have a good relationship, but do you know why it's good? Because if you don't - if you can't explain it to a 5-year old, then you may just have gotten lucky, and what happens when your luck changes? Bad things happen to amazing people, and without a good understanding of why your relationship is succeeding, you'll be vulnerable to the stress of life's crises. Why not learn what you're doing right so you can make sure you're doing it in times of stress?
Q. When does registration close?
A. Registration for RSBC runs for two weeks. Once it's closed, that's it until it opens again, which could be as long as a year.
Q. I don't really have problems in my relationship. But we don't have much / any sex.
A. Not having anything wrong doesn't mean that you've got much that's right. And when you consider that sexual intimacy is the single act in your life that, presuming you're monogamous, you can only engage in with your partner, I'd say it's worth addressing. Why would you settle for a sexless relationship? Don't you deserve more?
Q. Talking about my feelings makes my skin crawl. How's that going to work in RSBC?
A. It's not going to be easy for you. How's that for honesty? Intimacy requires the ability to express your feelings. We tend to avoid those things that make our skin crawl - which means you've got a lot of work to do - a lot of emotional muscles to build. And there's no better place to do that than through RSBC.
Q. What if things get worse with my partner?
A. RSBC is designed to circumvent that possibility, but depending on where you are in your relationship, it's possible that things could get worse. That's why we're going to do our best to make ourselves available to you for individual sessions on a fee for session basis. In the event that we can't accommodate you, we'll refer you out to a qualified therapist to help you and your partner regroup.
Q. Can RSBC help my relationship with my kids/friends/colleagues?
A. Absolutely. The skills you will learn in RSBC can and should be universally applied to every relationship in your life.
Q. Is this therapy? Or coaching?
A. RSBC is an educational program. It's a course. It is not therapy or coaching. You'll never be asked to share or divulge personal information about yourself to Steph, Darcy or to the other RSBC participants as you would be asked to do in therapy or coaching.
Q. I've never done any personal development work. Will I be lost?
A. Even if you've been drinking the Kool-Aid of self-improvement for years, chances are you're not educated in relationship skills. Darcy and Steph designed the course assuming that most people have never heard this material before. So even if you've never done personal development work, you'll be fine.
Q. Will I be given tools to stop fighting?
A. Absolutely! Weeks 4, 5, and 6 are dedicated to giving you tools to immediately pull you out of negative patterns. And we know you're probably like, "Why are you waiting until week 4 to help us stop fighting? I want those tools now!" You have to try and trust us that the entire program is designed to be cumulative with each lesson building on the previous lesson. If we were to start with those tools, they wouldn't make sense to you. Please know that when you do learn them, you'll be ready to apply them and if you apply them in the exact way we instruct you to, you will stop fighting.
Q. I'm in the LGBT community. Will RSBC work for me?
A. Welcome! We're members too, and yes, this course is absolutely appropriate for members of our community as well as members of the hetero community.
Q. I don't believe in monogamy. Can I still do RSBC?
A. Yes. We don't unilaterally endorse any single relationship model, so regardless of yours, you are welcome to register. With that said, for simplicity sake, we do use language throughout the course assuming that you only have one partner, but please know that we do so only for simplicity purposes. We respect and welcome all relationship models.
Q. Can I just buy parts of RSBC?
A. RSBC is specifically designed to be a cumulative course. We can only guarantee the quality level when you take it in its entirety. For that reason, your only option is to invest in the entire course.
Q. What if I don't have the time?
A.If you don't have the time, it's not for you.
Q. Can I take it with my partner?
A. You and your partner are both welcome to take the course, but keep in mind that it's not intended to be a couple's course. What we mean is that RSBC is designed to be an individual study in relationship skills. We wouldn't want the two of you taking the course expecting to see change in the other (although if you follow the instruction, you absolutely should). The whole point of RSBC is to build your own individual relationship skills. And you'll each need to purchase the course individually.
Q. Do I have to do homework every day?
A. Yes. Sometimes twice a day.
Q. Is RSBC just a class or will it help me in my life?
A. RSBC is like a combination of a class and a lab where you're expected to practice what you learn - and you practice what you learn in your life every day (and hopefully beyond) for nine weeks. It should result in a transformation of your life
Q. What if I want a refund?
A. We want you to love RSBC. To that end, you are welcome to take the entire course before deciding whether or not you've received value. You have 7 days from the release of Lesson 9 to request, in writing, a refund, and we'll be happy to give you 100% of your money back. In order to be eligible for a refund, you are required to submit properly completed homework assignments for every lesson within 7 days of the release of Lesson 9.
Q. What if I change my mind after RSBC has already started and I want to quit halfway through?
A. You have to finish the entire course and submit all of the homework assignments (which need to be properly completed) within 7 days of the release of Lesson 9 for a refund. We want you to receive value from RSBC, and there's no way for you to know if you've received what we've promised unless you complete the entire course and all of the homework assignments. Only then will you be in a position to evaluate how you feel about RSBC.
Q. How do I know if RSBC is NOT for me?
A. RSBC is a very challenging program. It is designed for motivated individuals. Below is a list of signs that RSBC is not for you:

  • You want your partner to change without having to change yourself.
  • You're looking for a quick and easy way to improve your relationship.
  • You don't think you need to change, learn, or grow.
  • You don't really have the time to invest an hour or more a day for 9 weeks.
  • Click here to see if RSBC is clinically inappropriate for you (this goes to the last category on the page)

Q. How can I get members of my tribe (family members/ friends/partner) to support me registering for RSBC?
A. We know. It's a ton of time we're asking of you and a fair investment. Of course your family members, friends and or partners are going to have concerns. Here are the most common C&R's (concerns & responses):

Getting Your Tribe On Board with RSBC

"That’s a lot of money."
Response: "I know. RSBC is an investment. But the potential costs of not getting these skills makes me about as likely to stay married as everyone else - and that's a 50/50 shot. I don't like those odds." "I want a better relationship with [insert name here]. I've tried doing this on my own and it hasn't worked. I think of it as an investment in that relationship, and I think it's worth it." "I could always go to couple's counseling, which, on the average takes 12 sessions at an average of $200.00 per session. That comes out to $2400.00 and this is less than that. Plus, I don't want to just complain to someone about my problems. I want tools and solutions, and that's what RSBC promises." "I don't want our family to be like everyone else's. I believe in us and I want our relationship to be a happy one - not just for us, but for the entire family." "I understand that you think it's unnecessary. I'm not asking you to agree with me. I'm asking you to support me in doing this."

"Programs like this always want you to spend more and more. You'll start the course and there will be a ton of additional things that you're encouraged or required to buy."
Response: "They've promised that there's nothing additional to buy." "If I want to buy anything beyond registering for the course, I promise to discuss it first with you. How's that?" "They're not like that. This course is taught by licensed therapists - not by para-professionals who are grasping at random subjects to sell programs on. This is all they do - and this is their only product / course."

"RSBC is going to take up so much of your time and energy. I'm worried you won't have anything left over for me/the kids/the family/our friends/our life."
Response: "Yes, RSBC is going to take up a significant amount of time and it's going to pull my attention for 9-weeks. But it's a course on relationships. It's going to teach me how to connect to you/the kids/the family/our friends/our life more deeply. It's a short-term sacrifice for a lifetime of benefit. I want quality time with you. I want to learn how to better meet your needs, how to be a better partner / family member / friend. I want us to thrive. It would mean the world to me if you would support me through this." "I think I'll be able to show up more fully when we do spend time together because the course is going to make me feel like I'm doing something to better my life and to better our relationship. Don't you think we're worth the sacrifice?"

"How do you know that this course is going to help?"
Response: "The entire course syllabus is available to view online. The material looks like it will really hit on all the main difficulties I/we have." "They don't appear to be over promising. I like that they didn't sugar coat how challenging it's going to be. They're not promising it's going to be easy - they're saying it's a huge time investment, it's not for everyone, there's homework every day for 9 weeks, and the course is all about changing myself. I get the impression that they're legit. Have a look for yourself." "I feel like I've done my homework, I've vetted them, they're legitimately credentialed therapists who've been around forever. They didn't just pop up out of nowhere. They went to two of the best schools in the country, and they've been helping people with relationship issues for decades. At the end of the day, any time we buy a product or choose to work with a service provider, we take a risk. In this case, it's risk-free because they offer a 100% money back guarantee if the course fails to deliver. It feels like a no-brainer to me. If you're still unsure, I'm fine with you looking them up. I really want you to be comfortable with this decision." "Their testimonials confirm what they say they're able to deliver. And many of those testimonials come from leaders in the mental health community. They train other therapists. And they're the therapists who the therapists send their friends and family to. If it's good enough for them, I think it will be good enough for me."

"You've bought so many other courses that you've never even finished. Some of them you never even touched. It's money down the drain."
Response: "I know. I won't deny it. To be honest, they weren't very engaging programs. Most of them covered very superficial information that failed to deliver what was promised. And because they weren't very expensive, I never bothered to follow up on getting a refund. I know this is going to sound weird, but the fact that this course is almost 2K means there's no way I'm blowing it off. You have my word." "Steph and Darcy have promised that the course modules are exactly like the videos in the free training series, and those were very engaging. I appreciated that they were willing to share personal stories of how they've struggled in their own relationship. Their openness really resonated with me. I hate being lectured to by people who have no idea what I'm going through. If the modules are like this, I'll be looking forward to getting the new one each week. I really think this is going to be a different experience. And if it's not, at this price, you have my word I'll request a refund. No more money down the drain. I promise."

"I've never even heard of Darcy and Steph Sterling. Why would you buy from people who aren't famous?"
Response: "I'm willing to buy from them precisely for that reason. I feel like famous people are always selling things that disappoint. They rely on being a household name to sell things that don't deliver. Think of how much value I had to receive from those training videos to be willing to buy from two relatively unknown therapists?" "In the field of personal growth and development, they're well known and I've known about them for years. AskDrDarcy.com has been around since 2010. Darcy's been a contributor for The Huffington Post, Psychology Today, and Mind Body Green for years. And now she's teaching celebrities (who have the money and ability to hire the best of the best) relationship skills on Famously Single. It feels really legit to me." "Steph and Darcy co-own Alternatives Counseling which has been around for 20 years. The both went to top-tier schools. Darcy got her Master's Degree from Columbia University and her PhD from NYU. Steph got her Master's Degree from NYU and went on to train to become a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist. Those credentials are more important to me than whether or not they have 10 million Instagram followers."

"OK, Dr. Darcy seems legit. But who's Steph and where's she been?"
Response: "Steph is very open about being a more private person than Darcy is. Darcy may be the one who's done a lot of media work, but that's only because she's comfortable being in the spotlight. Steph's been approached for years to appear on TV, podcasts, and to write for the same publications that Darcy writes for. Steph has chosen not to because A) She likes her privacy, and B) Nothing's ever felt like the exact the right fit for her. I actually admire her integrity to have held out, particularly in today's world where it seems everyone's dying to become a celebrity. Who turns down fame? Apparently Steph does."

RSBC IS NOT FOR YOU IF:

As you know, RSBC is not therapy, counseling or couples counseling. It is psycho-education, and while psycho-education can be a deeply enriching experience, it isn't appropriate for everyone. Some people should begin their journey of personal development by engaging in therapy, either individually, or as part of a couple in couples counseling. We want to ensure that RSBC is a good fit for you. To that end, we provide for your review a list of scenarios under which you should not register for this course. If you're wondering whether or not RSBC is for you, scroll down to see if you fall within one of the categories below: Individuals with a current diagnosis and/or history of untreated:

    • PTSD
    • Borderline Personality Disorder
    • Narcissistic Personality Disorder
    • istrionic Personality Disorder
    • Major Depressive Disorder
    • Any serious mental health diagnosis which is untreated.
  • Individuals who have been prescribed psychotropic medications and refuse to comply with that medication recommendation.
  • Individuals who have a current, untreated issue with substance abuse, alcohol abuse or addiction of any kind (including eating disorders of any kind).
  • Individuals whose parents were domestically violent and who have not received therapy for that specific issue.
  • Individuals who have a history of untreated sexual assault or abuse.
  • Individuals who have a history of untreated child abuse.
  • Individuals who have a history of domestic violence or who have been accused of being in a domestically violent relationship.
  • Individuals who have a history of putting their hands on their partners during times of anger.
  • Individuals who have a history of their partners having put their hands on them in times of anger. Individuals who have a history of "acting out" under duress.
  • If you fall within one of the above-referenced categories, it means that at this time, RSBC is not
  • appropriate for you, however, we would still love to work with you. Please contact us to schedule individual or couples therapy.

"I came to Famously Single to work with Dr. Darcy. I'm grateful I can walk away from the experience with an open mind and heart. She shared the tools to help get me past where I came from and gave me knowledge on how to safely move forward."
