In this episode of Do It, psychologist Christopher Barker introduces his new series, Holding Space. With over 15 years of experience in psychology and teaching, Christopher explores what it means to "hold space"—being fully present and supportive without judgment.

This first episode dives into the complex topic of trauma: what it is, how it impacts the mind and body, and why everyone's experience of trauma is valid. Christopher discusses acute and chronic trauma, the brain’s response, common symptoms, and the importance of acknowledgment in healing. He also introduces EMDR therapy and highlights the need for supportive environments where people can share their experiences safely.

Tune in to learn more about trauma, healing, and the power of holding space.
