What's Inside
Containment is a self-soothing and emotional regulation technique that allows you to create a safe space for difficult emotions, memories, or experiences. It is not about suppressing or avoiding what needs healing, but about giving yourself permission to process at a pace that feels manageable. Personal growth work requires courage. It asks us to look inward, to hold space for our emotions, memories, and experiences, and to work through them with patience and care. But just as we need to open ourselves to healing, we also need the ability to contain—to create safe boundaries within our own minds and hearts so that we are not overwhelmed. Containment is a powerful skill, a tool that allows us to honor what arises without being consumed by it. It strengthens resilience, increases our sense of control, and helps us work through difficult emotions at a pace that feels safe.
