A Thanksgiving Special

Send a textHi, I’m Dr. Christopher Barker, and whether you’re returning or joining Holding Space for the first time, I want to wish you a warm and meaningful Thanksgiving.This holiday may look different for many of us—because of loss, distance, family tensions, or simply the realities of travel and life. However your day unfolds, I hope you can create moments of connection, comfort, and small joys. Honor loved ones you miss, adapt traditions as needed, and remember that Friendsgiving and chosen family can be just as special.As we move into the rest of the holiday season—Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, the New Year—I encourage you to slow down, stay mindful, and take good care of yourself. Enjoy a walk, savor your meals, practice presence, and consider keeping a gratitude journal, even if it’s just noting one small blessing each day.I am grateful for my family, friends, coworkers, and for you—for being here, and for letting me hold space with you.Thank you for your gratitude, and know that I’m holding space for you this holiday season.EMAIL US: [email protected] the showHolding Space For You
