Held: Holding On, Letting Go
A Workshop with Erin Frazer
The second in Held, a monthly series from Erin Frazer — a BACP-registered psychodynamic counsellor and long-time yoga teacher — bringing talking therapy into direct contact with the body.
Mid-November sits on the turn. Autumn has finished letting go; winter has started to store. This session works with both: what we grip, what we release, and how differently those two things live in the body.
The practice moves through sustained holds and real effort before dropping into long, supported rest, so you can experience the difference in sensation. There is one optional partner exercise involving a light hand on the back, with a solo version always available. Then time to write or draw, and a closing sharing circle: a held, opt-in space to reflect aloud and be witnessed by the group, or simply to listen
Each session stands on its own, so you're welcome at any point. The themes also build, so coming to more than one deepens the work. No experience needed, and nothing is compulsory. This is a workshop rather than a therapy session — a space for insight and connection, open to anyone curious about themselves.
Who can attend: Suitable for everyone - no experience is needed
What to bring:
A journal or notebook, and something to write with
Layers — the first half of the session is strong and sustained, and the second settles into long supported rest, so bring something cosy to put back on as we slow down
Nothing else. No experience needed.
Mats, bolsters and blankets are provided.
