Hold Me Tight®-Conversations For Connection Program For Couples

Developed by Sue Johnson

This program is an educational program for couples, designed to help you improve your conversations and increase connection in your relationship. This course was designed and created by Sue Johnson, the founder of Emotionally Focused Therapy. This is not designed to take the place of therapy, and this is not online therapy. This program is educational and provides exercises for you and your partner to make changes in your relationship.

The format of this group includes power point, video examples, in class exercises, homework, and reading between each section. You are urged to work through this program with your partner, but that is not a requirement. If you find that therapy is needed following this program, resources can be made available.
