Hold Me Tight®, Hold Me Tight® Retreat & Hold Me Tight® Workshop
Hold Me Tight®: Conversations for Connection is an educational program based on the theory and practice of Emotionally Focused Couple's Therapy (EFT), by Dr. Sue Johnson.
EFT views the central problem in a distressed relationship as the loss of secure emotional connection and the pattern of negative interactions that both reflects and perpetuates this loss. Compelling emotional signals that are meant to pull a partner closer or reduce conflict, become distorted and shaded with criticism, anger or apparent indifference. Negative patterns of interaction then erode trust and continually exacerbate each partner's natural vulnerabilities and sense of isolation.
EFT assists couples to take charge of this negative cycle and to clarify their emotional signals about attachment needs and fears in a way that encourages their partner to respond with love and compassion. A new emotional experience of secure connection, a sense that the other person can be Accessible, Responsive and Engaged (A.R.E.) transforms love relationships.
The Hold Me Tight® Retreats includes accommodation and couples have the privilege of experiencing an exclusive tour of our pristine coastline here on the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia by award winning Australian Coastal Safaris.
The Hold Me Tight® workshops excludes accommodation and a tour with Australian Coastal Safaris.
No, couple's do not need a referral. Couple's can simply book through our website or connect with us HERE.

1. There is an explicit and obvious lack of commitment to the growth of the relationship by one partner.
2. There is evidence of extensive and /or long-standing relationship distress in the relationship such that a couple would be better served by seeking out a couple therapist rather then engaging in an educational program.
3. There is evidence of significant physical (hitting, slapping, use of implements to hurt or intimidate) or emotional abuse in the relationship (frequent hostile name calling, derogatory comments that define the partner negatively) to the point where one person expresses fear of the other.
4. There is evidence of a history of significant mental health problems in either partner that would preclude productive engagement in the group experience, for example, a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia or suicidal depression.
If you and your partner are experiencing any of the above situations, please seek our counselling services.
At this stage, five (5) couples will be accepted into the program whether it is for the workshop or retreat. Most likely the numbers of couples will expand in the future.
Absolutely, both morning and afternoon tea will be provided in the workshop and retreat.
If lunch is included or excluded it will be advertised (depends on location).
The duration will be two (2) full days. Commencing at 9:00am and concluding at 5:30pm
