Hold Me Tight ®
Couples Workshop Retreat
Stronger Together
This retreat is born out of the research conducted by Dr. Sue Johnson. Sue started a modality for couples therapy called Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) This is now the leading empirically validated form of couple therapy. Time-tested and researched for over 30 years.
The retreat is not therapy, but is therapeutic (having a healing effect). The format of the retreat is done all over the world with couples and has proven itself to be effective in helping couples create a stronger bond in their relationship.
