In Person or Online?






My colleague, Vicki and I will start something new in 2025. We have led in person Hold Me Tight®️ couples retreats at least four times a year for six years now. No two are the same; we always see amazing results and we get more than we give every time.


And this year, in March, we’ll also begin offering online Hold Me Tight®️ workshops. In person and online workshops are definitely different. Each format has its own advantages. So, what’s different about the two and what is the same and which might be best for you?

I’m glad you asked.


What’s the Same?

First of all, whether in person or online, the learning material, what we teach, is exactly the same. At Hold Me Tight®️, couples learn a great deal about attachment science, what’s really going on when couples disconnect and how to create connection that truly lasts. Hold Me Tight®️ is rooted in research; it’s not pseudo-science. Couples benefit from decades of data. We serve it in bite size doses, and, whether you join us in person or online, you’ll get the same awesome information. In person couples get a hard copy workbook. Online couples receive it digitally. The couple exercises, a series of conversations that each build on the one before are also exactly the same in both workshop formats. And Vicki and I are available to help couples who get stuck, whether in person or online. So, in terms of information, materials and exercises, in person or online Hold Me Tight®️ are virtually the same.

But, there are also big differences.


What’s Different?

Many people feel that in person Hold Me Tight®️ is more personal and interactive. The face to face component of being physically with other couples and the leaders can be a real plus. Especially for those coming from out of town, they can get away from their routine, truly focus on one another and enjoy some real one on one time. Many couples find that time away together is well worth the effort and expense required to make it happen.

On the other hand, in person Hold Me Tight®️ might require travel, perhaps child or pet care and other expenses, and blocking off the time to make it all happen. Some couples might find that too hard to manage. Online Hold Me Tight®️ is more convenient for them. They can do this powerful workshop and never leave home. It only requires a secure online computer connection with a camera and microphone. And it requires a commitment to manage distractions and interruptions as best you can. That can be tough from home, but it’s certainly doable. Online Hold Me Tight®️ couples may not be able to interact physically with other couples, but they can still interact with other couples and the leaders, ask questions, converse and offer feedback live and in real time online. It’s possible to become a cohesive, supportive group, even if we’re online.


Either Way, It’s Powerful!

At the end of the day, Hold Me Tight®️ is a powerful experience, whether in person or virtual. Each format has its advantages, depending on a couple’s needs and preferences. Either way, in just two days, couples can come to see their relationship in new ways, interrupt problem patterns and find a safer, closer connection than ever before.
