WHAT IS THE HOLD ME TIGHT™ PROGRAM

The Hold Me Tight Program is designed to help couples in improving and strengthening their emotional connection by engaging and experiencing new steps in the dance of love with the purpose of creating a closer bond.

This educational program is based on Dr. Sue Johnson’s best-selling book Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Loving. The workshop builds on the core concepts of Emotionally Focused Therapy, best known as EFT, a research-validated approach to couple therapy that has demonstrated excellent outcomes with many different kinds of couples. The research studies show that 70-75% of couples in EFT therapy move from distress into recovery. In this program, couples have the opportunity to learn and practice conversations that help partners feel emotionally safe and secure in the relationship.

THROUGHOUT THE WORKSHOP YOU WILL LEARN:

In this workshop, couples will learn and experience new ways of connecting and creating new interactional patterns that strengthen and provide a safe and secure bond for a lifetime of love.

Specifically, through the use of the conversations, couples will learn to:

• identify and break the negative cycle that takes over the relationship
• learn about softer emotions
• learn more about the partner and the self
• create more trust and intimacy

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING: 

The workshop is divided into different parts. Short lectures will be used to introduce the essence of love, the concept of attachment and introductions to the different conversations. Couples are introduced to the Hold Me Tight Conversations and then they will be given an opportunity to practice privately each of the conversations. Group discussions will take place and group participation is entirely optional. This video example of couples are about couples who have succeeded in stepping out of their negative cycles and have created a safe haven in their relationship.

The purpose of the experiential learning is so that couples learn to speak to each other in new ways that will enhance their understanding of one another and ensure they avoid the “demon dialogues” in favor of conversations for connection.
