Imagine being able to understand each other better and build an even more loving relationship, that just gets stronger over a lifetime.
 
In our workshop, you will learn what is at the root of most conflicts between you and your partner, and how to change those moments through a proven method that all couples can do.
 
Our *Hold Me Tight® Workshop for Couples is based on Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, and the international best-selling book "Hold Me Tight: 7 Conversations for a Lifetime of Love" by Dr. Sue Johnson.
 
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy has been shown through research to be the most effective approach to helping couples:
 

• Change the negative cycle of repetitive arguments and distancing that can cause alienation, frustration, and pain;
• Understand emotions and needs in romantic relationships and how to tend to each other in a way that creates positive, bonding moments;
•  Begin to repair old relationship injuries and how to build more trust moving forward;
• Learn and practice a new way of communicating with each other that promotes a closer connection, more effective problem solving skills, and can help you have more fun and freedom together in your life.​

 
This is an educational and experiential program for couples given in an intimate, warm, indoor/outdoor setting; the format and schedule include: Educational talks, video presentations, and couple's exercises (in private, not in front of the group), with a catered lunch brought in each day (dietary preferences of attendees are always taken into consideration).
 
*Hold Me Tight© Workshops are given all over the world. Since 2010, Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom has been facilitating these transformative weekend retreats for couples at her charming Cottage Clinic in Rancho Santa Fe, California. She offers 3-4 weekend retreats a year.
