Description

Hold Me Tight Couples Workshop Hold Me Tight® is an educational workshop based on Dr. Sue Johnson's best-selling book, Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love. This workshop's structured curriculum is based on the theory and practice of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT). EFT is a systematic approach that aims to reduce relationship distress and help couples create trust and intimacy. In this private weekend workshop, you will learn how to identify and change the negative cycles that get in the way of intimacy, make sense of emotions, and restore trust and safety in your relationship. The workshop is lead by Bridgette Mendoza LMFT and Arianna Gonzalez LMFT. They will guide you and your partner through facilitated conversations, video presentations, guided exercises, and “one-on-one” discussions to help you reconnect and transform your relationship. Any group processing is at the discretion and comfort level of the participant. The cost of the workshop is $499 per couple. The registration fee covers the participation of both partners for the 2-day workshop and lunch. Lodging is not included. Additional Information What is EFT? EFT or Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples is a well-validated, structured approach designed to help couples understand each other’s emotions and respond effectively to each other’s needs. It is a collaborative model based on adult attachment theory and is widely heralded as one of the most successful approaches to creating loving relationships and lasting bonds. What will we do at the workshop? The heart of the workshop revolves around 7 exercises, where you will practice conversations to create closeness. The workshop leaders will present information about love and attachment to help you make sense of the cycles of disconnection in which couples often find themselves. We will also show videos of actual couples working through common cycles of conflict. At regular intervals, we will ask you to privately engage in structured conversations with your partner regarding your particular cycle. Workshop leaders will offer assistance with these exercises. At times during the weekend, we will assemble in smaller groups and offer the opportunity to discuss your experience with the exercises. This group sharing is optional and no one is required at any time to share with the group. Covid 19 compliant. Five couples per event limit.
