About The Hold Me Tight® Couples Workshop
Dr. Sue Johnson is the primary developer of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which has proven to be the most effective method available to couples — especially those wanting closeness and connection. More than 25 years of peer-review and clinical research have demonstrated its remarkable success.
The focus of EFT, and our Hold Me Tight® Workshop, is to help you and your partner understand each other; to help you get on the same page. When feelings are hidden, unexpressed or misunderstood, relationships become stressful. They can be a source of pain rather than comfort and happiness.
At our Hold Me Tight® Workshops, we guide you through seven conversations where you and your partner learn to discuss emotions safely and move toward each other rather than turning away or shutting down.
You don’t have to go it alone. Learning how to be a little bit closer, loving and responsive changes everything. This workshop helps you turn your relationship into an emotionally safe place where you can relax and begin to enjoy each other again.
Here are some of the things couples can accomplish in this Hold Me Tight® Couples Workshop:
- Better understanding of romantic love and keeping the spark alive. (Hint: it’s not a mystery anymore!)
- Identify those pivotal moves and moments that define your relationship.
- Learn to be more sensitive to your (and your partner’s) emotional needs and responses.
- Start to describe and control the negative interactions that hurt and create distance between you.
- Begin to create and shape positive moments of reaching and responding to each other. (Those are the essential moments that create a secure bond between you.)

Participant Feedback
“My husband and I were struggling with many little things and we would constantly battle about money, parenting, what’s for dinner, chores, etc. What we couldn’t talk about was sex. We weren’t intimate anymore and we were both lonely and angry. We learned from the workshop that it’s not trying to figure out who was right or who was wrong but if we reached deep inside we’d see our core feelings. We learned that if we really understood the root emotion we could avoid the triggers that caused our vicious spiral! My husband and I after 15 years of marriage got to know each other in a new way and stopped our attack mode. We still have a lot of processing to do to break our “habit” but we are encouraged. We feel more playful as lovers now too. Thank you to Anne, and the staff for giving us hope!”
