If you’re struggling in your relationship, feeling disconnected, dealing with frequent conflict, or living more like roommates than partners, this program is designed for you.
Gives Lifetime Access
Love is a fundamental survival code of our species. Our brains are biologically wired to seek emotional connection as a signal of safety and belonging. When we experience closeness with a loved one, our nervous system calms, and we feel secure. Each of us needs a dependable emotional bond — a safe haven where we can turn for comfort and support. The quality of these bonds shapes our development, our sense of self, and the way we engage in relationships.
This program is designed to help couples understand and restore their emotional bond. Grounded in the science of Attachment Theory and the principles of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, it offers practical tools to identify patterns of disconnection and create new ways of reaching for each other. Through guided conversations, video examples from real couples, and exercises, partners will learn to express their needs, respond with empathy, and rebuild a sense of safety and closeness. The goal is not just to solve problems, but to strengthen the connection that allows love to thrive.
The Relationships Matter program draws on the science and principles outlined in Dr. Sue Johnson’s Hold Me Tight.

Whether or not your therapist practices Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), this program will deepen and enhance the work you’re already doing. If your therapist does use EFT, even better — you’ll find the experience aligns beautifully. And if you’ve read Hold Me Tight, this program brings the concepts to life, giving you dedicated time as a couple to move through the Seven Conversations together.
Absolutely. Even if only one partner starts recognizing the negative cycle and responding differently, the cycle will begin to change.
That’s great. You’re investing in skills that will support a healthy relationship down the road.
In cases involving physical abuse, lack of safety, or an ongoing affair, the program isn’t appropriate for couples to attend together. However, you may still participate individually to learn what healthy relationship patterns look like. Furthermore, individual therapy might be helpful to you.
