Hold Me Tight

In this internationally acclaimed relationship manual, pioneer of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Dr. Sue Johnson translates decades of clinical research into a practical guide for couples seeking to strengthen their bond. Hold Me Tight is built on the premise that adults, like children, require secure emotional attachment and responsiveness from their partners to thrive. Through seven guided conversations, Dr. Johnson teaches couples how to recognize negative interaction loops, articulate their deepest fears, forgive past emotional injuries, and rekindle physical and emotional intimacy. Filled with insightful case studies, practical exercises, and compassionate analysis, the book empowers partners to move past chronic conflict and cultivate a resilient, deeply fulfilling connection.

It delivers a proven, research-backed framework for relationship repair, helping couples end destructive cycles of argument and rebuild deep trust, empathy, and emotional connection.

Ideal for married couples, partners navigating relationship friction, marriage counselors, therapists, and anyone interested in the science of emotional attachment and romantic love.
