I have an MA in Psychology from The New School University and an MPH in Social Medical Sciences - Sexuality and Health from Columbia University.
We are rarely given any kind of formal relational education (and sex education is a whole other part of this story!) but rather a relational socialization. I believe that through self awareness and skill building we can all have the types of relationships we long for. I utilize Psychoeducation, CBT and Motivational Interviewing.
