The Hold Me Tight® Model – A Research Based Approach
This couple’s weekend retreat will consist of lectures and video clips of couples discussing how they improved their relationships. You and your partner will also be guided through the 7 Transforming Conversations described below.
All exercises will be done privately with your partner. Group participation is optional. You will be part of a safe and supportive group of couples who are all working to strengthen their relationships.
You will be guided through the following
7 Transforming Conversations
#1 Recognizing the Demon Dialogues. You and your partner will identify negative and destructive ways that you interact during conflict. The goal is not to assign blame, but rather to get to the underlying root of your relationship issues and discover what each of you are trying to say to one another, beyond what is being said on the surface.
#2 Finding the Raw spots. You and your partner examine deeper feelings, fears and beliefs below your emotional reactions. You may discover things about yourself and your partner that you did not know before.
#3 Revisiting a Rocky moment. You will discover new skills for de-escalating the existing conflict in your relationship. The goal is to begin to repair the hurt that has occurred and build emotional safety in your relationship.
#4 Forgiving Injuries. Past injuries will become integrated into your relationship’s life story. Forgiving injuries does not necessarily mean forgetting. Rather, past hurts are used as opportunities for renewal and connection. This helps to strengthen your bond with each other.
#5 Hold Me Tight. You will focus on how to turn moments of disconnection into moments of being more emotionally accessible, emotionally responsive, and deeply engaged with one another. This, so that you feel more heard, connected and loved.
#6 Bonding Through Sex and Touch. As you feel more emotionally connected to your partner, you will become closer physically, showing more affection towards one another, and have better sex. As affectionate touch and sex improve, your emotional connection deepens.
#7. Keeping Your Love Alive. Love requires continuous attention in order to be kept alive. Once you deepen your connection to each other, you must make a commitment to maintaining this connection to so that you can have a healthy relationship that lasts.
I’ll walk you through the above 7 conversations in our weekend together.
If your relationship is struggling, then this 2 day workshop will provide a road map for repair.
