Hold Me Tight Workshop

Conversations for Connection

The Hold Me Tight Workshop is a 1-2 day program that helps couples move through some important conversations to improve and strengthen their bond. You can purchase a pre-recorded program led by Dr. Sue Johnson to do at your own pace or attend an online or in-person 1-2 day workshop led by a therapist or facilitator. This program can help you and your partner in the following ways:

  • Improve your relationship by strengthening your bond

  • Better conflict resolution and positive problem solving as well as co-operation around key issues such as financial difficulties or parenting

  • Better mental health – less depression, less anxiety

  • Better self image

  • Better physical health thanks to improved immune functioning.

Secure adults have better relationships. They are more empathic to others, and better care-givers. They also know what they need and understand how to ask for support when the going gets tough.

A responsive, caring bond with your partner provides the emotional balance needed to deal with life's challenges – from everyday problems to major crises such as a global pandemic.

The Hold Me Tight program is the only program found to both improve relationship satisfaction and foster a more secure bond. This online version is based on the only model of brief couple intervention validated in over 20 outcome studies demonstrating long term positive results.
