An Attachment-Based Couples Connection Workshop

Because closeness isn’t about perfection—it’s about turning toward one another.

​

Every couple experiences moments of disconnection. What matters most is how partners turn toward one another when those moments arise.Creating Connections is a 6-week, research-informed couples workshop grounded in the principles of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) and based on Dr. Sue Johnson’s Hold Me Tight® material.This structured, supportive workshop helps couples understand unhelpful interaction patterns, deepen emotional connection, and strengthen trust—even during conflict.

 

What You’ll Learn

• Identify recurring conflict cycles that keep you stuck

• Understand emotional triggers and sensitivities

• Stay emotionally present during difficult conversations

• Turn conflict into opportunities for connection

• Strengthen emotional safety, trust, and closeness

 

What This Is (and Is Not)

 

✔ Psychoeducational workshop (not group therapy) ✔ Couples work privately with each other ✔ No required sharing of personal details with the group ✔ Structured, respectful, and evidence-based

✖ Not a substitute for couples therapy

 

Who This Workshop Is For

 

Couples in committed relationships who want to:

• Feel more emotionally connected

• Understand why conflict escalates

• Strengthen their bond and sense of teamwork

Not recommended for couples experiencing ongoing infidelity, active addiction, or domestic violence.
