Attend this groundbreaking workshop from the comfort of your own home!

This online version of the Hold Me Tight® workshop is based on research by Dr. Susan Johnson, who developed Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples.  EFT has been validated by numerous studies showing consistently positive outcomes with 90% reporting significant improvements in their relationship.  See below for our video introduction, testimonials, and for information on intensive programs where you can work one-on-one with Dr. Bordieri through the workshop materials, including: a 10-hour consolidated program with Dr. Bordieri or combine the benefits of the group workshop with one-on-one coaching with Dr. Bordieri in a mini-intensive.   
The workshop includes group discussions of key concepts, video clips to facilitate learning, and guided exercises  with one-on-one personalized support in private breakout rooms to help couples better understand one another and develop new patterns of relating to one another.  The group also provides opportunities for mutual support and learning from other couples in a safe, non-judgemental environment.   Handouts and resources are also provided as well as ongoing resources and support for after the workshop ends.

 Testimonials

This workshop quickly revealed, demystified, and shared practical tools to course correct debilitating communication patterns. The process was surprisingly wonderful in this group setting. EFT approach is incredibly effective for us. It was a great value for all that was delivered.  Your expertise, calm, caring, generosity was fierce. You were an excellent team. You gracefully – and miraculously through video - created a safe space for learning, sharing, open feedback, and stillness to think. The workshop was helpful because it gave us a chance to re-visit material with fresh perspectives of other couples. This "slowed down" the process and allowed us to think more creatively and objectively through their lens. Instead of the sessions being solely focused on our issues, it facilitated passive learning in a more relaxing way. We felt more "normal" seeing other couples that were going through similar things. It was a humbling and wonderful experience that you brought each and every one of us through with grace.  Highly recommend…you all rocked it!!!

The Hold Me Tight Workshop really worked wonders for us. From the very first session we were able to communicate better and feel more like a team against the common enemy of our relationship struggles. We learned many tips and exercises that helped reinforce that feeling throughout and we now have the motivation to go deeper with the work and really be there for each other in a more emotionally connected way.  Thank you so much to Carolyn and Regina for this amazing gift!
