The Hold Me Tight (HMT) Couples Workshop:
Couples who want to grow closer to their partner, feel fulfilled in their relationship and grow stronger together, can join us on this experiential and interactive workshop based on the book Hold Me tight by Dr Sue Johnson, the founder of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
The HMT is a two day event, including brief presentations accompanied by short video clips of couples taking part in HMT sessions with Dr Sue Johnson. These are followed by each couple engaging in privately guided conversations that help them to increase their understanding and trust in each other as well as changing their negative patterns.
Who can attend?
This workshop is open to couples who want to grow closer and deepen their relationship as well as to couples who are struggling, fighting or growing distant. It can be good way for couples wanting to start couple therapy as it can be a therapy accelerator.
It is also good for couples who have just started a relationship or are about to commit to a long-term relationship. All races, religious and sexual orientations are welcome.
If your relationship is in severe distress, the Hold Me Tight Programme can be a start but not a substitute for individual or couples therapy.
