How is this workshop different from couples therapy?

While we’re big supporters of traditional therapy for couples, we understand it might not be the best fit for everyone. Weekly therapy sessions offer personalized attention and a chance to deeply explore relationship issues. However, some couples find the open-ended nature of therapy too slow or not immediately impactful.

For those seeking quicker results, couples workshops can be more appealing. These formats condense material and skills into a shorter timeframe.
Both options have their merits, and the right choice depends on your needs and preferences. This workshop is ideal for couples who are short on time, seeking extra support alongside therapy, or looking to make a significant impact quickly.

It’s worth considering that a workshop can complement therapy or serve as a jumpstart to it. The key is to find what will benefit your relationship the most right now.

As therapists who work with individuals, we understand that many topics in individual therapy revolve around relationships. Our workshop provides a unique opportunity to integrate some of the insights and work from individual therapy into your relationship.

The Hold Me Tight workshop may not be suitable for:
