I’m interested in experiencing a stronger couple connection. Tell me more!


Let's start with EFT!

The Hold Me Tight couples educational program is based on the theory and practical application of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT). EFT has been demonstrated by multiple empirical research studies to be the most successful couples therapy model all over the world. Studies show that 90% of couples that have experienced EFT have improved their relationship.

EFT has also worked for couples in which the men have been described by their wives as “inexpressive.” Read more…

What will I find in the Hold Me Tight™ book?

Primarily, the content found in Hold Me Tight™ is based on the EFT model (as introduced above). Using numerous couples’ real stories, the author leads readers through seven “Conversations” beginning with discovering the communication patterns and negative cycles in which couples get stuck.

Moving through the remaining conversations, couples learn about themselves and each other so they may better connect as a couple and build a stronger sense of connection and intimacy to establish a secure and lasting relationship bond. The final Conversation gives couples practical examples to make their relationship remain strong for a lifetime.

What specifically will we be doing in the class?   

Alex Avila, an EFT-trained, masters-level therapist will teach and facilitate the group experience and show DVD segments of Dr. Sue Johnson taking couples through one of the seven Conversations each week. In-session and take-home exercises help couples apply this new learning to their current, relevant interactions to build a stronger couple bond.

Is it worth the investment of time and money?

Much research shows that couples with healthy marriages experience increased physical health. Stronger couple relationships contribute to improved family relationships, and secure relationships at home carry over to improvement in other life areas such as improved work performance and job satisfaction.

The investment in this couples group is small. Eight weeks in this group can begin to truly help couples understand each other more, stop negative cycles, enjoy better interactions, and build deeper intimacy.

The financial investment is minimal compared to the complicated and painful physical, mental, and emotional costs associated with maintaining a distant, conflicted relationship.

Here is the cost per couple broken down by the three offered rates:

$320 ($40/week per couple; only $10.00/hr. per person.)
$280 ($35/week per couple; only $8.75/hr. per person.)
$240 ($30/week per couple; only $7.50/hr. per person.)

In 2012, invest in your most important relationship on earth.
