Ep203 How to Hold Space- The Basics

The Psychedelic Coach Podcast's episode "How to Hold Space- The Basics" with host Tah talks about the importance of holding space in various contexts. Tah explains that holding space means providing a container where another person can express themselves, without any judgment, coaching, advising, or opinions from the space holder. Instead, the space holder witnesses the other person's full expression, allowing everything to move through them without any interruption or interjection. Tah emphasizes that holding space is a gift and a skill that people can learn, particularly in coaching, psychedelic integration, intimacy, family, and business contexts. He cautions that overstepping one's space and looking to fix things can reinforce the oppression trap triangle, where the victim complex is fortified, and people stay stuck. Tah also shares the importance of having a flat, non-moving face when holding space. The podcast episode is full of insightful and helpful tips about holding space. Here are some of the highlights: Holding space is the final frontier that everyone, particularly coaches, psychedelic integration coaches, intimacy coaches, family members, and partners, should learn. "Holding space is tremendously important, and it's a very vogue word phrase." When holding space, the space holder should provide a container for the other person's full expression, outside of judgment, coaching, advising, or opinions. "I am witnessing a person be in their full expression." Holding space is a gift and a skill that people can learn. "Another person's process is not my process, it's their process." Overstepping one's space and looking to fix things can reinforce the oppression trap triangle, where the victim complex is fortified, and people stay stuck. "Being able to hold yourself together and listen. Objectively without moving your face around in horror is a skill." Having a flat, non-moving face when holding space is called Spaceface. This episode is an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning how to hold space. Tah's insights and tips are valuable for coaches, psychedelic integration coaches, intimacy coaches, family members, partners, and anyone who wants to improve their listening and witnessing skills.
