Doherty, PhD. In \n\u003ci\u003eHold Me Tight\u003c\/i\u003e, Dr. Johnson shares her groundbreaking and remarkably successful program for creating stronger, more secure relationships. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The message of \n\u003ci\u003eHold Me Tight\u003c\/i\u003e is simple: Forget about learning how to argue better, analyzing your early childhood, making grand romantic gestures, or experimenting with new sexual positions. Instead, get to the emotional underpinnings of your relationship by recognizing that you are emotionally attached to and dependent on your partner in much the same way that a child is on a parent for nurturing, soothing, and protection. Dr. Johnson teaches that the way to enhance or save a relationship is to be open, attuned, and responsive to each other and to reestablish emotional connection. With this in mind, she focuses on key moments in a relationship and uses them as touch points for seven healing conversations, including: \n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Recognizing the Demon Dialogues \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Finding the Raw Spots \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Revisiting a Rocky Moment \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Forgiving Injuries \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Keeping Your Love Alive \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e These conversations give you insight into the defining moments in your relationship and guide you in reshaping these moments to create a secure and lasting bond. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through stories from Dr. Johnson's practice, illuminating advice, and practical exercises, you will learn how to nurture, protect, and grow your relationship, ensuring a lifetime of love. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Johnson, Sue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little, Brown Spark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2008-04-08\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Family \u0026amp; Relationships|Marriage \u0026amp; Long Term Relationships|Family \u0026amp; Relationships|Love \u0026amp; Romance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Love|Intimacy (Psychology)|Interpersonal communication|Communication in marriage|Man-woman relationships\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316113007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9780316113007\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown Spark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51154252693782,"sku":"SP-9780316113007","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/9910\/8886\/files\/9780316113007_spiral.png?v=1774939485","url":"https:\/\/lusper.myshopify.com\/products\/hold-me-tight-seven-conversations-for-a-lifetime-of-love","provider":"Lusperbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
