#16 What does it mean to 'hold space'?

The Mothering Myself Podcast - A podcast by Susan Kinahan

It struck me recently that I say ‘hold space’ often in episodes, but I haven’t discussed what 'holding space' means. So, this episode explores what it means to hold space so that we are able to experience where we are, as we are, and extend the same courtesy to others. Additionally, we consider how it is we may have learned how to dismiss our experiences to make another more comfortable, and what the repercussions may be of our own self-betrayal. We consider how we can begin to practice holding space for ourselves, and acknowledge that it is a continual practice to allow ourselves to be with what is.
