The Hold Me Tight ® Workshop is a 14-hour workshop based on the program developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, founder of Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT). This workshop is not just for struggling couples, it is also for couples who wish to grow closer to each other. This program will enable you and your loved one to connect on a higher level with a payoff that lasts a lifetime. Let Deanne Drda MA, Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist guide you through my Hold Me Tight ® Workshop for couples in Lakewood, CO.

In this workshop for couples, you and your loved one will start by recognizing the strengths already present in your relationship. Next, the workshop guides you through you identifying and addressing the negative interaction patterns you and your partner exhibit. Recent brain science is helping us understand how we all get caught in negative patterns with each other. Understanding how it happens helps in reframing the experience. Addressing these behavioral patterns, together as a team, helps you and your partner recognize how arguments start and how you can shift them. Lastly, one of the most important lessons you will learn from this workshop is how to understand your own and each other's emotions on a deeper level. This is an important skill as it will help you reconnect when you feel distant. The Hold Me Tight® workshop encompasses a variety of exercises and conversations based on Sue Johnson's Hold Me Tight® book - which you should read (or listen to) in preparation for attending the workshop. Please ask me for more details if you have questions.

This retreat has been helping couples all over the world since it was developed. The Hold Me Tight ® Workshop is more than relationship counseling, it will truly help you flourish together as partners. There are many great programs for couples; the key is to fully engage in whichever path you choose. I would be honored to support your commitment to a relationship with a vision and plan for growth.
