Couples Retreat in Florida
Transform Your Relationship In A Weekend
The Hold Me Tight® couples retreat in Naples, Florida, gives you the space and tools to break through these patterns. You’ll learn how to truly understand each other, communicate in ways that solve instead of hurt, and reconnect in a way that feels safe, secure, and deeply satisfying.
Hold Me Tight® Retreat for Couples
Long-term relationships are hard work. While it would be so much easier if we could naturally read our partners’ minds (and have them read ours) the reality is that we all get disconnected and feel misunderstood at times.
The good news: an entire field of research and science has made sense of adult love and bonding.
This knowledge grounds us with information about the human needs in relationships and what goes wrong in moments of conflict. With this understanding, you can create new conversations and strengthen the bond with your partner.
A Hold Me Tight ® couples retreat Florida marries the rejuvenating spirit of a weekend getaway with your partner, to relax and refocus on each other away from the stress and mundane of daily life.
Hold Me Tight ®, is a group couples retreat in Naples, Florida. The program can help you and your partner to understand each other better and feel closer.
The retreat is not therapy, but rather an education and practice-focused program based on cutting edge-relationship science: Emotionally-Focused Therapy.
The workshop offers education and practice of relationship skills in a safe environment. The program allows couples to connect, learn, and investigate their own cycles that keep them stuck in unhelpful patterns with the person they love the most.
Reconnect With A Couples Retreat
This workshop is based on the book Hold Me Tight ® by Dr. Sue Johnson. She created this format to help couples move through 7 key conversations:
- Understand the reasons they have conflict and the same fights popping up over and over
- Transform the patterns that lead to frustration
- Engage in conversations to stay connected and keep love alive
- Repair broken bonds or injuries from the past
- Rekindle the spark and strengthen intimacy
- Become more accessible, responsive, and engaged with one another
- Build rituals to keep your bond strong over time
What to Expect At A Couples Retreat
The setting is relaxed and comfortable, yet structured and purposeful. You’ll learn:
Why cycles of conflict occur
Tips to interrupt ineffective communication
How to communicate deep needs
Communication styles that lead to less conflict and more connection
Walking away from a couples retreat Florida, you’ll feel refreshed and rejuvenated from getting to spend time with your partner. Even better, you’ll have new information and tools to apply to your relationship over time.
Unlike a typical getaway, the benefits will continue to flourish and unfold once you get home from the workshop weekend.
- Love each other, but feel disconnected
- Repeat the same arguments, despite trying to communicate
- Are open to slowing down and exploring the “why” behind your reactions
- Are committed to practicing new ways to connect
- You are in acute crisis or high emotional volatility
- One or both partners are actively considering divorce
- There is untreated addiction
- You are in early/acute affair recovery
- There is ongoing deception, coercion, or lack of basic emotional safety
Couples in these situations may benefit more from a private intensive, which provides individualized, contained support and preparation for group work later.

- Lecture-style and video-example presentation of content

This blend of content will allow you to take the theoretical into the practical right away to create lasting change in your relationship.
