Hold Me Tight® A Workshop for Couples
A Proven Approach, Backed by Science
The Hold Me Tight® program was created by Dr. Sue Johnson, a world-renowned expert in couples therapy. Her groundbreaking work in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) has helped thousands of couples transform their relationships. Research consistently shows that 75% of couples using EFT move from disconnection to a place of connection and closeness, with 90% maintaining those improvements long-term. Over 20 published studies have confirmed the effectiveness of this approach.
Hold Me Tight® workshops are offered worldwide and help couples like you uncover what’s really happening beneath the surface during conflicts. Through this process, you’ll learn to address the core issues rather than getting stuck in repetitive arguments.
What You and Your Partner Will Gain
This workshop is designed to help you:
- Break free from negative cycles of conflict.
- Understand and address the feelings and needs beneath your words and actions.
- Rekindle emotional and physical intimacy.
- Forgive past hurts and repair trust.
- Strengthen your bond and build lasting connection.
- Improve your communication and reduce misunderstandings.
Whether your relationship is struggling, you’re thinking about divorce, or you simply want to deepen your connection, this workshop can help. It’s designed for all committed couples—married or unmarried, LGBTQ+ or straight.
What This Workshop is NOT
- Dry or boring. We don’t rely on PowerPoint slides to make our points.
- Blame-focused. Relationship challenges aren’t about one person being at fault. We’ll focus on how your interactions impact each other and how to create healthier patterns.
- Overly personal in a group setting. You won’t be asked to share private details with the group. This is about you and your partner working together.
- What You Can Expect to Do
- Led by skilled EFT therapists, this workshop introduces the science of love and helps you understand and change the negative cycles that cause disconnection. Here’s how:
- Learn together. You’ll gain insights into the science of attachment and how relationships thrive.
- Practice privately. You’ll have time and space to apply what you’re learning in private exercises with your partner. Therapists will be available to support and guide you as needed.
This workshop is about fostering resilience, healing, and growth in your relationship. Whether you’re looking to repair or simply strengthen your bond, we’re here to help you take the next step.
