Strong, secure relationships thrive on emotional safety, responsiveness, and meaningful connection. Our Hold Me Tight® Couples Workshops offer partners a research-based, experiential opportunity to strengthen intimacy, improve communication, and build a deeper sense of security with one another.

Grounded in Attachment Theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), these workshops help couples understand the patterns that fuel disconnection or conflict and provide practical tools to foster closeness, trust, and lasting emotional bonds.

Who These Workshops Are For

The Hold Me Tight® workshop is designed for couples at any stage of their relationship, including:

Partners who want to enrich and protect an already strong connection
Couples feeling stuck in recurring arguments or emotional distance
Partners preparing for a new stage of commitment or life transition
Couples seeking practical strategies to maintain closeness and emotional safety over time

All couples are welcome, including LGBTQ+ partners.

Mental health professionals attending with their partner can also benefit from deepening both personal connection and understanding of adult attachment and couple dynamics.

What Is Hold Me Tight®?

Hold Me Tight® is a structured couples workshop based on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, the creator of EFT. EFT is widely recognized as one of the most research-based approaches for strengthening adult romantic relationships. The Hold Me Tight® program is offered by trained facilitators in many countries around the world, making it an internationally recognized and trusted model for deepening connection.

The workshop is designed to help couples strengthen emotional bonds, improve communication, and navigate key relationship conversations that foster intimacy, address unmet needs, and support long-term connection. Couples learn how to recognize and shift negative interaction cycles, understand the emotional responses beneath conflict or withdrawal, and respond to one another in ways that foster safety, responsiveness, and trust.

The name Hold Me Tight® reflects a core EFT principle: emotional and physical closeness — symbolized by holding one another — creates a sense of safety and security that allows love to thrive.

What to Expect During the Workshop
