When I& #39;m struggling with something heavy that threatens to interfere with my sleep, my therapist taught me to ask, "Who can hold [this issue] while I rest?"

Honey, it changed the whole game.

Sometimes the answer is God. Sometimes it& #39;s a best friend. Sometimes its the pages of your journal. Sometimes it& #39;s the promise of an upcoming therapy session. The point is to think of yourself not as a solitary soul moving through the universe, but as part of a collective.

I recognized that I tend to carry everything I& #39;m feeling by myself (the whole reason I was *in* therapy) and when she gave me permission to set everything down...I felt so free. I damn near floated out of that session.
