Sue Johnson moves the partners into the beginning of withdrawer re-engagement and blamer softening, two regular EFT change events. The couple is then able to repeat these experiences in further sessions with the referring therapist, successfully transforming their relationship. There is an introductory conversation with Sue Johnson and Kate Ciceri the referring therapist.

Join three couples as they create a more loving, secure bond — a bond that lasts a lifetime.This DVD shows three couples who — with the help of Sue Johnson — go through six of the conversations from her book, Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love. This DVD can be used on its own as a roadmap for creating loving connection or it can be used in conjunction with the book. The conversations shown here are based on Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT), an empirically validated approach to improving relationships, shown to help 7 out of 10 couples move from frustration and loneliness into a secure loving bond. You will see couples move through seven conversations:

  • Conversation 1 — Recognizing the Demon Dialogues
  • Conversation 2 — Finding the Raw Spots
  • Conversation 4 — Hold Me Tight — Engaging and Connecting
  • Conversation 5 — Forgiving Injuries
  • Conversation 6 — Bonding through Sex and Touch
  • Conversation 7 — Keeping Your Love Alive

4- Re-engaging Withdrawers
(add your name to this waiting list)

This DVD shows two complete live sessions (with Sue Johnson as the therapist) that were conducted at Externships in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy in 2008/2009.

Disc 1: Couple 1 – Session 8 of EFT with John and Julia
Disc 2: Couple 2 – Session 11 of EFT with Juli and Lee

These couples had never met with Sue Johnson before these sessions and knew that they were being observed and had been recommended for these consultations by their EFT therapists. The couples are now entering Stage II where the therapist helps partners to reach for each other and create positive bonding events. The first task is to focus on engaging the more withdrawn partner (John in Couple 1 and Juli in Couple 2).
