What does it mean to hold space for someone? To hold space for another is to allow somebody the opportunity to openly express what they feel, to be who they are, and to be vulnerable, even though what they say may push our buttons or be difficult to hear. Staying objective is a powerhouse of strength that will allow us to see the situation unfolding in front of us for what it is without getting pulled into the current of the emotional river. Holding space is a gift that we can give the other person and is how we can truly be there for somebody else and allow healing to occur. To afford the other person the opportunity to truly be themselves in an environment that is safe is the cornerstone of a healthy relationship, whether it's with an intimate partner, our children, a good friend or a coworker.
