About the Retreat
The Building a Lasting Connection® workshop is a couple education program co-developed by Dr. Debi Gilmore, Certified EFT Supervisor, and Dr. Rebecca Jorgensen, Certified EFT Supervisor and Trainer.
The objectives of the workshops are to teach couples, within an active and practice-based setting, how to create and preserve a foundation of secure attachment in their relationships.
With a new understanding of attachment theory and attachment needs, couples will:
- Achieve a greater understanding of what “romantic love is” and how to maintain and grow it.
- Learn how to communicate within a systematic framework designed to come to greater understanding and connection.
- Navigate differences and solve problems together.
- Discover and practice how to remove communication blocks.
- How to avoid touch deprivation of both body and soul.
- Establish a process to set and achieve goals together to guide you past critical relationship periods.
You will leave this weekend refreshed and with tools and concepts that will help your connection to grow.
