Testimonials from Previous Workshops

My wife and I have been married for 51 years! In that time we have attended many marriage retreats and couples seminars. We consider the Hold Me Tight workshop the most beneficial that we have attended. The forgiveness portion was very impactful for both of us. It really opened up our feelings toward each other to give us a better understanding of our relationship.

With the tools we learned our relationship has grown into a deeper love and understanding of each other. We leared to stop the cycles that cause our arguments by teaching us how to go underneath the problem, getting to the feeling and not blaming each other.

Immediately felt welcome, safe, and that I was in good hands.

The workshop was eye-opening. My husband and I had difficult conversations that made us feel vulnerable, but we realized love is worth being vulnerable and uncomfortable. We can now enjoy and cherish our connection, even when life gets tough.

This workshop has changed how we show up for each other and make each other feel loved. We can now recognize negative cycles, stop, talk to each other, and address each other’s physical, social, and emotional needs. The tools we have obtained assist us in creating a safe and trusting environment for each other, noticing, acknowledging, and taking time to repair our connection.

We have new tools to be vulnerable with each other. We are learning to be a safe space for each other.

Getting insight into how my partner really feels, developing a greater understanding of underlying issues. The balance of psych-ed and one-on-one time with therapists helping to navigate hard conversations made it easy.

I was able to learn how to identify and articulate my feelings. We were able to connect in new ways and feel less alone in our relationshop struggles.

We would recommend the Hold Me Tight Workshop to other couples. This weekend has guided us through difficult conversations that have increased our understanding of each other and are worth every penny. All three couples therapists did a great job in facilitating difficult conversations. Although your eyes might burn at the end of the weekend from crying, and you will feel uncomfortable and vulnerable, you will have the tools at the end of the wekend to change how you show up for your partner and make each other feel loved.

We would reccommend the workshop to other couples – especially couples coming into second marriages – to help identify ways to stop the conflict cycle in relationships.

We feel a lot more secure in our relationship and our ability to sustain it by recognizing our negative cycle.

The Hold Me Tight workshop has given us the tools to work through our misunderstandings, arguements, and our past trauma so our relationship will continue to grow. For us this has been a life changing event and well worth the cost.
