💭 What Therapists Mean by “Holding Space”

You may have heard the phrase “holding space” in therapy—but what does it really mean?

It’s not about offering solutions or advice.
It’s about creating a safe, compassionate space where someone feels free to share their emotions and experiences without fear of judgment.

When therapists hold space, they:
• Listen to both the spoken and unspoken
• Stay grounded and calm, even in emotionally charged moments
• Embrace silence instead of rushing to fill it
• Move at the client’s pace rather than pushing for breakthroughs

“Holding space” is an act of mindful presence—gentle, attentive, and purposeful.
It helps clients feel seen, understood, and secure enough to open up.

Though it may appear quiet, it’s a deeply engaged process—one that reminds therapists of the power of presence, patience, and self-awareness in both their practice and personal growth.

🌿 If you’re seeking a space where you can truly feel heard and supported, your healing journey can begin here.

Sadly, when gossip becomes a norm — a daily habit people can’t seem to live without — it transforms into a behavioral pattern that fuels their curiosity or ego instead of their conscience.

7 Habits to Break If You Want to Grow Into Your Best Self

(If transformation is your goal, these patterns have to go.)

Becoming your best self isn’t just about what you start doing —
it’s equally about what you stop doing.

Here are the habits emotionally intelligent people choose to leave behind:

1️⃣ Constant Comparison
↳ Measuring your worth or pace against others.
↳ Stay in your own lane — your timing, your story, your growth.

2️⃣ People-Pleasing
↳ Saying “yes” just to keep the peace.
↳ Remember, every “yes” to others can mean a “no” to yourself.

3️⃣ Overthinking Everything
↳ Getting stuck in analysis mode.
↳ Action brings clarity — not endless thought.

4️⃣ Chasing Perfection
↳ Waiting for the “perfect” time or outcome.
↳ Progress beats perfection every single time.

5️⃣ Negative Self-Talk
↳ The silent repetition of “I’m not enough.”
↳ You eventually become the story you tell yourself.

6️⃣ Instant Gratification
↳ Choosing comfort now over growth later.
↳ Real success is built through small, disciplined choices.

7️⃣ Avoiding Discomfort
↳ Resisting the stretch that growth demands.
↳ The next version of you always lives just beyond your comfort zone.

Letting go is uncomfortable — but it’s where evolution begins.
✨ The best version of you is waiting beyond these habits.

Most people think rest simply means turning off after work — but what if that’s not actually helping you recover? 🤔

True rest should balance the kind of stress your work gives you.

If your job drains you mentally, physically, or emotionally, choosing the right type of rest can help you recharge more effectively.

👉 Swipe through and reflect:

• If you spend your day sitting, don’t rest by sitting again — move! Go for a walk, stretch, or do something active.
• If your work is repetitive or passive, take an active break — cook, dance, play, or create.
• If your job surrounds you with noise and people, rest through silence and solitude.
• If your work is mentally demanding, unwind through something physical or creative that uses a different part of you.

We often choose what’s easy over what’s restorative — but real rest isn’t just about doing nothing; it’s about restoring balance. ⚖️

Recalibration can often feel like falling apart, especially when your body has been held together by years of tension.

The old habits — staying alert, overperforming, staying ready for anything — begin to ease, and everything that’s been pushed down finally starts to move.

That’s why healing can feel chaotic, heavy, or even wrong. But it isn’t. It’s your body beginning to trust again — learning that it no longer needs to hold on so tightly just to make it through.

When we start to release, all that’s been stored within us comes to the surface: the grief, the anger, the adrenaline, the unspoken stories.

It feels uncomfortable because what was once buried is now being felt.

As my grandmother used to say, “It has to come up to get out.”
And that’s exactly what’s happening.

The tears, the confusion, the intensity — these aren’t signs of breaking down, but signs of letting go.

What you’re feeling isn’t your ending.
It’s your system learning how to live again — without being fueled by constant survival mode.

Just a quick reminder that happiness isn’t loud, friendships need effort, and slowing down doesn’t mean you are falling behind. It means you finally understand what truly matters. 🌺🌸

Supporting a Loved One Through Mental Illness 💚

Being there for someone struggling with their mental health can be challenging, yet your role holds immense value in their healing journey. Here are some gentle reminders to guide you:

🌿 Educate Yourself

• Learn about their condition, symptoms, and available treatment options.
• Remember: mental illness is neither a choice nor a sign of weakness.

💬 Communicate with Compassion

• Listen with empathy: Let them express without fear of judgment.
• Validate their emotions: Show understanding and presence.
• Use mindful language: Replace blame with “I” statements to keep the space safe and non-accusatory.

🤝 Offer Practical Support

• Help out with daily tasks or responsibilities when needed.
• Encourage them to seek professional help or therapy.
• Be patient—healing takes time, and setbacks are a natural part of the process.

💗 Take Care of Yourself Too

• Set healthy boundaries and respect your emotional capacity.
• Reach out for support—whether it’s a therapist, a group, or trusted friends.
• Take breaks, breathe, and make time for what restores you.

🚨 In Crisis Moments

• Keep emergency contacts accessible.
• Stay calm and grounded to provide reassurance.
• Reach out for immediate help if the situation requires it.

Your steady presence can make a world of difference. Healing is not linear—but compassion, patience, and understanding light the way. 🌸

Emotional depth blooms from self-awareness —
the courage to sit with your feelings, name them, and speak them truthfully. 🌿✨

When someone hasn’t done that inner work,
they may pull away when things get tender.
It’s not that they don’t care —
they just haven’t built the capacity to meet you in that depth yet.

You can’t teach someone readiness.
But you can learn the difference between unavailability and limitation.

Protect your peace.
Notice where openness fades into defensiveness,
and only pour your energy where your heart can be heard.

And if you keep finding yourself giving more than you receive —
it’s time to learn what genuine, balanced connection really feels like. 🌙
