How can you stay truly connected with your teenager—especially during a stage when they seem to pull away? In this introduction to Hold Me Tight / Let Me Go, Barbara Veldt explores how Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) can help strengthen the bond between parents and teens. Developed in the US and further refined in Norway and the Netherlands, this program offers practical tools to navigate the challenges of adolescence—from identity pressures and mood swings to the growing need for independence. Through group sessions, home assignments, and family conversations, grounded in attachment theory, parents learn how to provide support and safety while giving their teenager space to grow. Suitable for all parents, including divorced or single parents.
