This program teaches partners to become more empathic, trusting, and open with each other and to more easily handle day-to-day stress and conflict. We will read and discuss the book Hold Me Tight, watch demonstrative video clips and do in-class and take-home exercises designed to strengthen and deepen a couple’s emotional connection. Since this is an educational program and is not therapy, a phone screening will be done prior to enrollment.
