Some Days We Just Get Tired
I don’t know about YOU, but some days I just don’t want to think about parenting at all. Okay, there, I said it. Roar!
Now I have to go roust up my son from near death, depths of sleep to get ready for school. That’s not parenting. It is life–my daily life and likely yours.
Make the best of it. It’s the only one you’ve got.

The Hold Me Tight Workshop is designed to give you a weekend away to connect with your spouse. This workshop will not teach you useless things; it will give you an opportunity to fully engage the deep, loving connection you desire in your relationship with your partner.

Hold Me Tight
You will strengthen your bond through private exercises with your partner, didactic experiences, and video demonstrations of couples that have moved from distress to that longed for deep, intimate connection.
This workshop takes place in the safe environment of experienced attachment specialists and other parents experiencing similar attachment pushes and pulls in their lives because of the demands of healing the broken hearts and emotional difficulties of children from difficult biological beginnings, maltreatment, abuse and attachment breaches. YOU will be “seen” here and your struggles will be understood.

The stronger your relationship, the better able YOU will be to whether the slings and arrows of raising children from difficult beginnings.

Respite Reminder
No matter how tough YOU are, YOU need respite. It is okay to take time away from your attachment challenged children. Of-course, there is a bit of a price to pay before you go and when you come back, but you need down time for your neurochemistry to balance.
Living in a home that provokes constant high cortisol levels will burn out your adrenals, deplete your dopamine, and destroy your serotonin. These are all naturally occurring mood stabilizers. YOU need yours.
Get respite. Running on empty is a sure-fire way of putting your children into retrograde. That is NASA speak for meltdown.

Again, I know you think you can’t get that. I know. And yet, I think YOU can if you are creative and determined to save your own sanity, your own life.
