Picture
Hold Me Tight® is a relationship enrichment program developed by Dr. Susan Johnson—an internationally recognized researcher and expert in couples therapy. Her approach, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), has been shown in studies to have some of the best results in the field, with 70% of couples moving from a place of distress and unhappiness in their relationship to feeling once again at peace, with 90% of couples significantly helped.
The workshop is designed to be intensive and interactive, not one where you passively watch a screen all day.  There will be didactics and demonstrations, but the heart of the workshop is when you and your partner privately have guided conversations, assisted by us if desired.  We encourage you to use this coaching to help you maximize your use of the tools you will be learning.  We hope you can join us.

What we do at the workshop:
We will present findings from love and attachment research in order to help you make sense of the cycles of disconnection in which couples often find themselves stuck. We will show video of couples who represent the most common patterns of conflict. At regular intervals, we will ask you to privately engage in structured conversations with your partner regarding your particular cycle. Workshop leaders as well as other trained facilitators will circulate and be available to be consulted throughout the guided practice. Some couples prefer to work alone; others prefer to consult with the facilitators in some or all of their conversations. We will then reform into the larger group to discuss our experiences. No one is required to share any personal experiences with the group.
​
What we as the workshop leaders have loved about this program is its focus on health, resilience and growth. It compassionately views many of our struggles as couples as a protest against loss of connection, the frustration of feeling we can’t reach our partner, the pain of loneliness. It does not seek out “who’s to blame,” but instead “how do we restore the bond?” It has been our privilege to witness as couples courageously work to reach out to each other.
