The Hold Me Tight® Family Program for Adult Children and Their Parents – ONLINE – November 14 – 15, 2020

A WORKSHOP FOR ADULT CHILDREN and THEIR PARENTS

Shift the Old to Fit the New

This program is designed to facilitate new conversations and strengthen family bonds.

Whether you are 22, 42, 62, or 72 what parent doesn't want to heal ruptures with their grown up kid and what adult child doesn't wish to be understood and accepted in their separate autonomous lives?

We often don't know how to be with each other. Adult children and their parents remain a family for more decades than ever before. Roles keep changing, and with these shifts, moments of distress are inevitable, and insecurity triggers.

Drs. Nancy and Paul Aikin, Clinical Psychologists, Certified EFT Trainers and Co-Directors of the Greater Sacramento-Davis EFT Center will teach Dr. Sue Johnson's empirically validated concepts of love from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) - modified to fit the attachment systems present in family life. With the help of theory, exercises, structured private family conversations and group support, participants will grow an appreciation of how to reframe their needs for connection to better fit each of the stages they find themselves facing as a family.
