Resumen del Editor

Heralded by the New York Times and Time as the couples therapy with the highest rate of success, Emotionally Focused Therapy works because it views the love relationship as an attachment bond.

This idea, once controversial, is now supported by science, and has become widely popular among therapists around the world. In Hold Me Tight, Dr. Sue Johnson presents Emotionally Focused Therapy to the general public for the first time. Johnson teaches that the way to save and enrich a relationship is to reestablish safe emotional connection and preserve the attachment bond. With this in mind, she focuses on key moments in a relationship - from "Recognizing the Demon Dialogue" to "Revisiting a Rocky Moment" - and uses them as touch points for seven healing conversations.

Through case studies from her practice, illuminating advice, and practical exercises, couples will learn how to nurture their relationships and ensure a lifetime of love.

Some good points

Getting out of a negative cycle is key for being able to productively speak with your spouse. Fascinating that the woman is the demanding aggressor in almost every example… It has definitely given me some tools to help get my wife to relax without actually telling her to “relax.”

My go-to book on relationships for non-monogamy

This book is helpful even if you’re already in a loving healthy relationship. Everyone experiences bumps along the way. I wish I had read this book years ago to smooth those bumps. I recommend this book to my fellow non-monogamous readers too, even though the author is skeptical of CNM (though that never comes up in this book). This book is a must-read for those of us who actively engage in multiple loving and caring relationships. Helping us hear the emotional and relational need of our partners is so key to building healthy trusting relationships, especially when we recognize insecurities as a normal response to relationship dynamics. Thank you Dr. Sue Johnson!

Excellent reading and content! I love that the reader had an accent just like the author. It made it more believable. This is information every person needs.

Best Book Ever

Sue Johnson has given me the answers to all the love and relationship problems that I have been looking for for many years. I admit that I did not believe that certain relationships were salvageable. Now I am convinced that most relationships can be saved and can be the most enjoyable thing a person can have in this life. Thank you for your work Sue.

The narrator did an amazing job. She sounds like she is talking to you and makes excellent pauses and brings awareness like only a person talking with you in the present could. Great job! My favorite book
