I will be teaching at the Hold Me Tight Couples Retreat Friday and Saturday, June 15 & 16, from 9am-6pm.
Are you missing the love, connection and respect that you once had with your partner?
Have frustrating and destructive cycles destroyed the passion you once felt for each other?
Do you find yourself comforting yourself by saying things like, “passion always fades after the beginning of a relationship, I just need to accept that and figure out how to communicate better.”?
There are so many myths about love and relationships in our world and our culture today. Anyone can write a self-help book or lead a relationship workshop. So, how do you know what to believe? And how do you actually put in to practice what you learn?
The truth is, you can have a loving, passionate connection with your partner. You are not destined to a ho-hum existence…you can have love, passion and harmony in your relationship. And you can trust that this workshop will show you how to create it.
HOLD ME TIGHT is a workshop based on the book of the same name. The book (and workshop) was written by the founder of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT), the method with the highest proven outcomes for couples therapy.
• EFT has an astounding 70 – 75% success rate and results have been shown to last, even in the face of significant stress.
• EFT is recognized by the American Psychological Association as empirically proven.
The message of EFT is simple: Forget about learning how to argue better, analyzing your early childhood, making grand romantic gestures, or experimenting with new sexual positions. Instead, accept that like all mammals we are “pack animals.” We need our pack and we need to feel safe in order to experience the joys of a passionate, respectful partnership. We really do need and depend on our partner for nurturing, soothing, and protection…even as adults.
The key questions for couples in love relationships are:
Are you there for me?
Do I matter to you?
Am I enough for you?
If both of you can answer a resounding, “YES!” to all three of these questions, then this workshop may not be for you. Congratu
lations! If you answer, “I think so”, or “some of the time” or, even “most of the time” to even one of these questions then this workshop is for you.
If you already have a pretty good relationship, Hold Me Tight will give you the experience and tools you need to ensure a life time of love, joy and passion together. This is a great Premarital workshop!
If you have hit some rocky moments, or are feeling trapped in a downward spiral, this workshop can help you turn things around and begin an upward trajectory of closeness and connection.
If you are a therapist and are interested in an introduction to EFT and would love to introduce your partner to your world, Hold Me Tight is a great introduction (14 CEU’s are available for California MFT’s and LCSW’s).
