Three tips to holding space:

1- Reassure the person that you hear them. That you see their pain and they aren’t alone.

2- Breathe, when emotions and feelings get heavy people tend to hold their breath. This stops the energy from moving and then stay trapped. We want this to move and to do that move your lungs. It will also help the person sharing to get into a more calm space and awareness of what their deeper true feelings are. I didn’t realize how in my practice people aren’t paying me to solve their problems. They are paying me to hold space, to listen, to ask questions and prompt them to find their solutions. When I made this connection people started flooding in. because what they wanted wasn’t actually what they needed.

And that is true for any relationship. Look up human evolutionary needs and discover how you can better understand people based on these needs. And if you’re a coach. This will change the way you help people.

3- Allow them to feel. If they apologize for their feelings encourage them to feel it, honoring them in that process and not jumping in to solve the problem. Let them cry, let them say hurtful things, let them vent whatever it is they need.
