The gift of held space

Held space is a gift that can be challenging to give and also rarely consciously received in the moment that it’s happening.
The silent practice of allowing a person to thrash with their thoughts, hunt for clarity in their emotional labyrynth, and test a perspective without passing judgment or jumping to solutions is often the most challenging and impactful method of facilitation.

Applying this simple, difficult, and effective strategy in the small moments of our day-to-day wears on the status quo of disconnection like drops of water wears through rock.
