Workshop for Couples
Hold Me Tight:
Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love
Sustain the closeness,
connection and intimacy
you cherish.
Hold Me Tight
is a 16-hour educational program based
on the empirically proven Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approach to helping
couples foster secure and lasting bonds. The outstanding success rate of EFT has
been heralded in scientific journals, the New York Times and Time magazine. The
Hold Me Tight workshop breaks EFT down into seven transforming conversations. You
will learn how to:
-
Create lasting trust and intimacy
-
Make sense of your own emotions
-
Learn about your partners inner
world
-
Learn how to forgive injuries that
can destroy trust and safety
-
Deepen your romantic/sexual
connection
-
Prevent the cycles of
disconnection that take love apart
In
addition to practice with your partner and reading the text, you will see video
examples of how other real couples learned
and create a lifetime of love.

Love is everything it’s cracked up to be… It really is worth fighting for, being brave
for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, your risk will be even
greater. — Erica Jong
