How to Choose: Workshop, Intensive, or Virtual Support

We know deciding how to get help for your relationship can feel overwhelming. Below is a clear, compassionate guide to help you choose the option that best fits your needs, timing, and level of distress.

Quick overview

• Hold Me Tight® Workshop — Best for couples wanting a structured, research-based roadmap to deepen connection and learn how their attachment patterns show up.

• 4‑Hour Intensive — Best for couples who want focused, practical help on one specific stuck point or recurring pattern.

• Weekend Intensive — Best for couples in high distress, facing betrayal, or wanting a substantial, concentrated reset.

• Virtual Workshops & Between‑Session Trainings (available Jan 2026) — Best for ongoing, skills‑based support that fits into busy schedules and complements in-person work.

Which to pick based on where you are

• Curious and proactive (you want a framework and steady growth): Hold Me Tight® Workshop

  • What you get: Evidence-based structure, group learning, repeated practice of key conversations, psychoeducation about attachment and emotion cycles.

  • Ideal outcomes: Better understanding of how you both get triggered, clearer patterns, improved emotional safety, and new ways to have corrective experiences with your partner.

• Stuck on a single issue (you know the problem but can’t move past it): 4‑Hour Intensive

  • What you get: Focused time with a clinician to map the cycle, practice repair, and leave with clear next steps and tools you can use at home.

  • Ideal outcomes: Targeted relief on a recurring fight, clearer boundaries, actionable communication strategies, and momentum toward change.

• High distress or major rupture (infidelity, ongoing threat to relationship, or emotional flooding): Weekend Intensive

  • What you get: Extended, immersive work to stabilize the relationship, process high-intensity emotions safely, and begin rebuilding trust.

  • Ideal outcomes: Emotional stabilization, containment of crisis, a repair plan, and deeper shifts in how you relate under stress.

• Need flexibility and ongoing skill building: Virtual Workshops & Between-Session Trainings

  • What you get: Shorter, skills-focused sessions you can attend from home, practice assignments, and booster modules that reinforce learning between in-person sessions.

  • Ideal outcomes: Improved day-to-day coping, steady skill acquisition, and support that adapts to your schedule and pace.

Practical considerations

• Time and energy: Choose a workshop or virtual option if you have limited time. Choose an intensive if you can commit concentrated time and emotional energy.

• Safety and stability: If there’s ongoing harm, violence, or severe emotional instability, connect with individual clinical support first so in-couple work is safe and effective.

• Cost and insurance: Intensives may be a higher up‑front investment but can accelerate progress. Ask about sliding scale options and whether sessions are eligible for reimbursement or out‑of‑network benefits.

• Readiness to do the work: All options require openness to noticing patterns, practicing new conversations, and doing between‑session work. If one partner isn’t ready, a consultation can help plan next steps.
