Description
Holding Space is about showing up authentically and creating safety in the moments that matter most. From parenting littles to navigating friendships and partnerships, Julia Clark—psychotherapist and play therapist—reframes tantrums, conflicts, and messy feelings as invitations to connect. Each episode explores the building blocks of emotional literacy, co-regulation, and boundaries, while honouring the intergenerational stories we carry within. Blending science with lived wisdom, Holding Space reminds us that growth is playful, healing is possible, and we are all learning together.
