About this Item:

Are you looking to enrich a healthy relationship, revitalize a tired one, or rescue one gone awry? We all want a lifetime of love, support, & companionship, but sometimes, we need a little help.
 
Enter Dr. Sue Johnson, developer of "Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy" and ?The most original contributor to couple?s therapy to come along in the last thirty years,? according to Dr. William J. Doherty, PhD. In 'Hold Me Tight', Dr. Johnson shares her groundbreaking & remarkably successful program for creating stronger, more secure relationships.
 
The message of 'Hold Me Tight' is simple: Forget about:

• Learning how to argue better,
• Analyzing your early childhood,
• Making grand romantic gestures,
• or Experimenting with new sexual positions.

Instead, get to the emotional underpinnings of your relationship by recognizing that you are emotionally attached to & dependent on your partner in much the same way that a child is on a parent for nurturing, soothing, & protection. Dr. Johnson teaches that the way to enhance or save a relationship is to be open, attuned, & responsive to each other, and to reestablish emotional connection. With this in mind, she focuses on key moments in a relationship and uses them as touch points for seven healing conversations, including:

• Recognizing the Demon Dialogues
• Finding the Raw Spots
• Revisiting a Rocky Moment
• Forgiving Injuries
• Keeping Your Love Alive

These conversations give you insight into the defining moments in your relationship & guide you in reshaping these moments to create a secure & lasting bond.
 
Through stories from Dr. Johnson?s practice, illuminating advice, & practical exercises, you will learn how to nurture, protect, & grow your relationship, ensuring a lifetime of love.
