COURSE OVERVIEW
The foundation of safe, effective space holding isn’t found in techniques — it’s found in the practitioner themselves. Competency begins within: in how you listen, how you show up, how you hold boundaries, and how you navigate discomfort without bypassing.
This self-paced course explores six essential practitioner competencies: subtle but critical skills that support emotional steadiness, ethical clarity, and the ability to hold space without collapsing into it. You’ll learn what each competency is, why it matters, and how to cultivate it in your real-world practice — not just in theory.
Through concise video lessons and reflective prompts, you’ll deepen your presence, clarify your role, and strengthen your internal stability — so your work remains rooted, responsible and real. Designed for practitioners who are ready to look inward, refine their craft, and hold space with integrity. Includes a downloadable workbook for guided reflection and integration.
