Here's what a few more recent workshop participants had to say about their experience: (more testimonials here)

“I felt like it helped me and my partner understand what was happening between us in rough moments and give us a map for how to find out way out."​

"The Hold Me Tight workshop gave my husband and me a new way of discussing thorny issues. The course helped us to delve deep and identify the causes behind the actions, enabling empathy and compassion to follow. Dr. Lisa Blum and Dr. Silvina Irwin couldn't be better teachers and listeners. I highly recommend the workshop!"
