Today’s episode is all about the concept of ‘holding space’ for others.
I explain how you can be a better listener and allow others to feel safe, seen and heard when they are sharing their emotional experience with you.
I cover;
- What it means to hold space for others
- Providing people safety to express their emotions
- Protecting your own energy when people are emotional or venting
- Knowing the difference between venting vs emotional dumping
- How to set boundaries when you don’t feel safe or prepared to hold space for others
- Becoming a better listener (listening to listen, not listening to respond)
and more!
You’ll walk away from this episode with the skills to be a better listener, deepen your relationships and have more conscious communication with others.
