Testimonials from Hold Me Tights in Brooklyn NY

June 2019 workshop:

I am naturally skeptical and I had some doubts as to how much a 2 day workshop would really be able to help my husband and I—we felt so far gone and so past the point of help.  I am blown away by how much the workshop “work” has helped us build some solid groundwork to help us reconnect and move forward.

An extremely helpful workshop!  My wife and I were given valuable tools to help us understand where we are coming from and identify the harmful cycles that we constantly find ourselves in.  My wife and I feel a deeper connection and look forward to taking what we learned in our lives.

AA—This workshop was so helpful for us.  It is so wonderful to hear others input about relationships.  Our facilitator took us safely through the steps and we learned so much in 2 days.

I never realized how much I was shutting down and going into myself and how much of an affect that was having on my wife and our relationship.

As a newly engaged couple, the workshop helped us identify potential negative patterns and develop the better ways to positively connect emotionally.  The EFT approach simply makes sense and is a great gift for couples to give themselves.

The framework of group presentation and solo breakout exercises was really effective it allowed us to get deep and come up for air.  Carolyn was a measured, patient, and skilled facilitator she helped us both feel connected and heard. - Justin

My husband is the most important person in the world to me.  Thanks to Hold Me Tight, he now knows this.  It is like we have a hit the reset button and can start fresh. - A.R.

The workshop helped us drive into some closely held issues that we didn’t even realize were keeping us apart.  The names of the parts of the EFT cycles, while cheesy, ended up pretty perfectly describing what was happening with us, which then shed light on other problems and also gave hope for the future.

September 2018 workshop:

We had a positive experience, good step to protective focused time to grow and reflect.

We were stuck in a cycle that we could not get out of. While we still have work to do, I feel that we are leaving here understanding each other far better and feeling like we are on the same team. Thank you for helping us to really “hear” one another for the first time in a long time. - Cheryl

We came into this workshop with one partner uncomfortable participating but, through their courage and the safe welcoming environment fostered by the facilitators, we had some lovely conversations about both our challenges and our strengths as a couple. - H.A.

This workshop was a valuable tool I can refer to in my relationship. It was small group, personable, and the facilitators/facilitator did an excellent job of presenting the information and guiding me and my significant other through the process and helping us work on things. - DJA

The workshop taught me how to connect with my partner in a deeper fuller way and sidestep the unproductive arguments that would get in the way of heartfelt connection. - Tom D.

The workshop helped me and my husband of 30+ years see how we get caught in negative cycles and begin to learn to see each other in a new light and look under the surface emotions to the deeper hurts and fears. The safe space and support provided allowed us to be more open and vulnerable with each other and to begin to repair old hurts and create new patterns of interaction and bonding. I also learned the importance of slowing down the interactions with my partner so that we can both really feel our feelings and process them. - M.G.
