The Hold Me Tight program is a for group experience of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, and is shown to be successful scientifically, in enhancing couple relationships. At the retreat couples receive information and instructions, have private conversations to practice what they have learned, and watch DVDs to see how couples resolve their difficulties through conversations.

From the back cover of Hold Me Tight:

“The most successful approach to creating loving relationships, endorsed by the American Psychological Association as scientifically proven, is now, for the first time, available in a book.

Whereas other forms of couple therapy have been shown in studies to be only about 35 percent effective in healing relationship, Emotionally Focused Therapy, developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, has achieved an astounding 75 percent success rate. Fully 86 percent of couples report feeling happier in their relationships. And results are long-lasting. Hold Me Tight will pave the way toward a deeply fulfilling enduring bond.”
