This program is for couples who are graduates of the Hold Me Tight® Workshop.
- Is it time to revisit and deepen some of the conversations started during the HMT® workshop?
- Do you and your partner sometimes struggle to implement the skills you learned in the Hold Me Tight® workshop, or even forget to use them?
- Would you like to consider how to apply these conversations to tricky areas of conflict?
Join us for a one-day refresher!
What to Expect at the Workshop?
This one-day workshop includes engaging presentations, videos, discussion, and ample opportunities to reflect and share with your partner while working through exercises.
Four modules for the day will help you:
- Update your understanding of your relationship cycle including behaviours, raw spots, and attachment needs.
- Troubleshoot where you and your partner get stuck in implementing HMT® communication skills, so you can have more connected and productive conversations.
- Explore cultural context including gender, race, culture, SES, faith, disability and more, to deepen your understanding of one another’s needs.
- Apply HMT® techniques to address a tricky conflict topic of your choice including: finances, relationship community (i.e., kids, friends, & extended family), physical intimacy, and individual differences (i.e., cultural differences, health or mental health issues and more).
Who Can Participate?
Hold Me Tight® workshops are open to couples in which both partners are committed to working on their relationship, regardless of relationship status or duration. Love is universal, and we aim to create an environment of inclusion for all participants.
Relationships that include physical or emotional abuse, an active addiction, or in which one or both partners suffer from significant mental health problems are better supported in couple therapy.
All participants in Hold Me Tight® Refresher must have completed a previous Hold Me Tight® workshop.
Have questions? Please contact our office and one of the facilitators will be happy to assist you.
Once your registration is processed we will send you a brief 5-question survey to help us with planning for the Refresher course. We would invite both partners to complete this survey separately so we get an understanding of the perceptions of every participant in the program. Thanks for your help with this!
