Ep172: Holding Space: Unlocking the Potential of Quiet Support and Connection

Published: Oct. 3, 2023, 7:33 a.m.

Here are three key takeaways from the episode:

1. Holding space is a powerful gift: Being able to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for someone to share and process their thoughts and emotions is incredibly valuable. It allows for a deeper level of connection and understanding between individuals.

2. Tone of voice matters: When holding space, it's important to be mindful of the tone of our voice. Speaking with curiosity and an open mind creates an inviting atmosphere for others to share without fear of judgment. It's all about fostering a genuine and supportive conversation.

3. Respect boundaries and choices: Not everyone may want or need our guidance in that moment, and that's okay. Respect their decision and continue to offer your presence and support without trying to force advice upon them. This shows that you truly have their back and allows them the freedom to process and navigate their own emotions and thoughts.
