Couples Seminar Weekend
Understand your relationship, break the cycles of conflict, and rediscover closeness – in one weekend with EFT
Hold Me Tight® is an intensive workshop for couples who want to feel more vitality and loving connection in their relationship.
-
Do you find yourselves repeating the same, usually fruitless, arguments?
-
Do you feel your partner doesn’t understand you?
-
Does everyday life—with the same recurring issues—dictate the tone of your relationship?
-
Do you want to find your way back to each other after a hurt?
-
Would you like to bring more passion and exciting moments back into your relationship?
We show you and your partner a path to permanently resolve communication problems and reconnect — and, above all, to stay connected.
Based on the world’s most successful couples-therapy approach from Canada, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), you will learn step by step the key to how you and your partner can experience lasting closeness and trust.
Rediscover Your Relationship: Intensive, Practical, Lasting
In our Hold Me Tight® workshop, you will learn how to resolve conflicts, heal hurts, and gradually rebuild closeness and trust.
Every couple gets stuck in the same patterns at some point.
You repeat the same arguments, feel misunderstood, or notice that daily life separates you more than it connects you. You may wonder: “Is it me? Is it my partner?” The truth is: it’s neither of you. This dynamic arises naturally as soon as people truly matter to each other.
Many couples don’t realize that these cycles can be broken, or they are afraid to seek help. You might worry: "What if we have to share our problems in front of others? What if we don’t understand something or feel uncertain? What if we’ve already been in therapy for a while – is the seminar still useful?"
This is where the Hold Me Tight® intensive workshop comes in: a safe space where privacy and confidentiality are respected, and where you and your partner are never forced to share personal details. Everything we do is designed to show you how to find each other again precisely in those moments when your connection feels like it’s slipping away.
You will learn how to break through conflict, heal old wounds, and step by step rebuild closeness and trust – whether your relationship has only minor tensions or you’ve already been in therapy for some time. And you will experience what a relationship can feel like where conflict doesn’t divide but connects, where misunderstandings can be resolved, and where you once again act as a team.
Many couples worry about the time or cost – participation is roughly equal to the cost of four therapy sessions, but the benefit is far greater: in three intensive days you gain support, clarity, and tools that can create a turning point and bring lasting change to your relationship. This seminar is more than just a weekend – it’s a lifelong toolbox for your love.
By the end of this weekend, you will not only have learned strategies but also gained a genuine sense of closeness, connection, and security that will accompany you in daily life. You’ll return home with clarity, tools, and a plan for how to strengthen your love and trust over the long term.
