POSTPONED UNTIL 2020

You and your partner do not have to resign yourself to an unhappy marriage. You can change the negative pattern in your relationship so you both feel heard and loved. 

Join me, a trained Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist for a two-day workshop that will help you learn the vital tools to shift the feelings in your marriage. (Ticket is per couple)

Hold Me Tight:

 Conversations for Connections

 (for Muslim couples) 

In this workshop you will: 

• Better understand romantic love- the key moves and moments that define a relationship
• Understand your and your partner’s emotional responses and needs 
• Learn to describe, identify and control the negative interactions in your relationship that result in hurt between you and your partner.
• Learn how to create and nurture emotional intimacy to keep your love strong and flourishing
• Learn how to communicate effectively and feel deeply heard
   

The workshop is limited to 10 couples only

This workshop is based on the theory of  Emotionally Focused Therapy, a research based model of couple therapy. The ultimate goal is to not only help you and your partner reduce conflict but also shape your relationship into a more loving secure bond.
