$580Couples Workshop November 2019 Wellington (PDF)
Hold Me Tight® is an evidence based couples workshop based upon Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.
This educational workshop is suitable for couples. It introduces you to leading research on the science of love, adult attachment patterns, the language of emotion and how, as couples, we become the hidden regulators of one another’s physiology – the “neural duet”.
Through structured conversations you will explore the patterns in your relationship in a private and supported way. These conversations will support you to interact in ways that nourish and deepen your relationship. Each workshop involves a mix of teaching, videos, and conversations that you complete together with your partner.

What to expect in the workshop
While this is a group workshop, the activities are between you and your partner and you are not required to share if you don’t wish to.
You can learn how to:
- Deal with stuck patterns and negative cycles
- Make sense of your own emotions
- Learn more about your partner’s inner world
- Overcome loneliness
- Repair and forgive emotional injuries
- Deepen your emotional and physical connection
- Communicate to develop deeper understanding and closeness.
