We spent several evenings working through the first few chapters of the Hold Me Tight Workbook. The exercises struck a rare balance between simplicity and depth – they required no prior therapy knowledge yet prompted genuine, sometimes surprising, conversations. Our team found the “Recognizing Raw Spots” exercise particularly eye-opening. We recommend this workbook for any couple seeking practical tools to strengthen their emotional foundation, whether they are newly committed or have been together for decades.

Q: Do I need the original Hold Me Tight book to use this workbook?

While the workbook is designed as a companion, many exercises include enough context to be completed on their own. For the full method and deeper understanding, we suggest using both together.

There are 224 pages, but you decide the pace. Most couples find that spending 15-30 minutes on one exercise per session three times a week leads to steady progress over a few months.

Q: Is the Hold Me Tight Workbook based on scientific research?

Absolutely. Every exercise is rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy, a rigorously studied approach proven to improve relationship satisfaction.

Q: Can same-sex couples use this workbook?
