Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Anyone in a relationship should read this one and find yourself an EFT (emotionally focused therapist) to help you. I recommend Ila Fica @ simplymecounseling@cableone.com. Application of the principles in this book can work miracles in your life....just do it! "

" So helpful on personal and professional level. Simple framework--very accessible reading. "

" A good relationship book--I didn't do the exercises, but I found it insightful and helpful. "

" Very useful in understanding attachment theory in adult intimate relationships. "

" Good stuff. Author says most fights between couples are about the fear of losing close personal connection to our loved one. Shows how to spot this in the middle of a fight and get to the heart of the matter before getting stuck in secondary emotions. Definitely worth reading. "

" I hadn't heard about attachment theory applied to adult relationships and this book was really eye-opening in an "of course!, it absolutely makes sense!" kind of way. Astute, real-world insights into what's really going on beneath the argument that seem to be applicable to just about every relationship. I especially appreciated the array of case studies and practical not-too-hokey exercises. "

" This is a couples' book.. it's about Emotionally Focused Therapy and a must read for understanding relationships.. Dave and I are really enjoying the "conversations" it evokes. I really like passionate discussions... this one gets us going! "

" Great book with practical advice on how to maintain and grow intimate relationships. Good guide on communicating and resolving conflict. "

" A really good read about relationships. Really helped me understand my relationship with my husband. "

" Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy is the most powerful relationship enhancer that I know. "

" This book is amazing. It changed the way I look at everything. :0) Love it. "

" I feel like marriage is always a work-in progress and really enjoyed the perspective of this author and counselor. I haven't talked Jeff into reading it yet, but maybe that is because I am such a great wife that he doesn't have any complaints :) "

" This is such a great book for almost any relationship. It gave me a whole new perspective about being emotionally available and compassionate with those I love and care about. A must read for anyone who has been or is in a relationship regardless of how healthy the relationship is. Great book! "

" A clear introduction to attachment therapy for the average person. Very helpful for all my important relationships. I'm not super-fond of her clever names for things. Calling something "the Protest Polka" is rather unnecessary when the actual name is demand-withdraw. "

" Attachment theory for the layperson, and practical advice for how to strengthen your relationships. I consider this a must read if you are at all psychologically minded, and in a relationship. "

" Changed the way I look at relationships. Awesome book. "

" I love Sue Johnson's approach (EFT) and often recommend this to couples. My major criticism: The theory/approach is applicable to all couples, but the examples are overwhelmingly heterosexist. "

" It was average. The concepts and content were sound and applicable to my relationship. However, it was hard to read and didn't "flow" well. "

" Had to return this to the library at about half way. What a fantastic book, though! Considering buying it. "

" read for work but one of the best couples books I have read and it was very easy to get through, I am trying to get Greg to read some of it as well. "

" I saw Sue speak last spring and I finally found time to read the book. This is a great one about healing your marriage emotionally. "

" Fascinating research on the science of love. Great book to improve emotional bonds. "

" This brief but perceptive book gave me new insights into my own history and personality and helped me understand the dynamics of our marriage more cllearly. "

" It was very informative and I feel every couple or even parents would benefit from the information. "

" love the term "demon dialogs"...been there. done that. "

" Wonderful, step by step instructions, stories and help to learn how to have a terrific, deep, intimate, emotional attachment with your spouse or significant other or......well, anyone, really. "

" So helpful on personal and professional level. Simple framework--very accessible reading. "

" Excellent insights. Needed more specific interventions, as understandings only go so far .. "

" read for work but one of the best couples books I have read and it was very easy to get through, I am trying to get Greg to read some of it as well. "

" Dr. Johnson developed the emotional focused couple therapy, which is highly regarded as one of the best methods for building loving relationships. Her book contains many ways to heal a weak relationship and to strengthen a strong one. "

" I suck at love, but this book showed that I'm pretty much like everyone else. Was recommended by a counselor and it showed the habits that people have when things can't quite get right. "

" loved this book! really explains the core of a happy marriage - emotional connection with your spouse. "

" Another amazing book on relationship dynamics. It's a refreshingly new view. We don't have to delve into the past to understand ourselves and how we are in relationships (that can help) but this gives clear instructions/explanations of the complexity of our love relationships. "

" This book had a lot of helpful information for helping couples as well as anyone who is looking for information to use in their own marriages. Really good ideas and an easy read. "

" This is such a great book for almost any relationship. It gave me a whole new perspective about being emotionally available and compassionate with those I love and care about. A must read for anyone who has been or is in a relationship regardless of how healthy the relationship is. Great book! "

" A must read for every couple! "

" The first chapters are invaluable if you are in a marriage or long term committed relationship. Great stuff. "

" As self help books go this beats all the others easily. Practically focused advice grounded in emotional attachment science. If you don't learn something to make you a more understanding partner from this book then you didn't read it with any attention. "

" Amazing wisdom. It helps us to know we are not crazy because we crave that one strong human connection with another being. Evidence supports her theory that the "rugged individualism" we have all believed in is a fallacy. "
