The Hold Me Tight® (HMT) Couples Relationship Enhancement Workshop:   Conversations for Connection    

 

​

Join us for a series of eight interactive 2-hour relationship workshops led by relationship therapists Sarah McConnell and Celia Hardwick based on the book Hold Me Tight®: Seven
Conversations for A Lifetime of Love by Dr Sue Johnson, the
founder of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

Each workshop comprises a short, lively presentation to the group along with short video clips of couples taking part in Hold Me Tight sessions with Dr Sue Johnson followed by safely facilitated, deeply engaging, intimate conversations that help each couple develop more openness, responsiveness and trust in each other.

This workshop is open to couples who are struggling, maybe arguing, growing distant or who just want to deepen trust and intimacy within their relationship. This can be a prelude to couple
therapy but is not for couples in acute distress who would initiallybenefit from couple therapy to overcome their relationship distress.

The 7 Conversations will be spread over 4 weeks. The topics each week will be:
Week 1: Saturday 22 October 2022:
9.00 - 11.00: Understanding Love & Attachment
