You don’t need to be fixed.
You need a place to be held while you rebuild.
Support for women navigating betrayal during pregnancy and postpartum.
This Isn’t Weakness. It’s Biology.
Betrayal during pregnancy and postpartum destabilizes:
your nervous system
your attachment systems
your identity
your sense of safety
Your body bonded.
Your brain believed it was safe.
Then safety fractured.
of course you feel unraveled.
Nothing about this is weakness. Your body is trying to protect you.
This Space Is For You If…
You discovered betrayal while pregnant or newly postpartum - when you felt most vulnerable
You are questioning your memory, your instincts, or your reality
You feel ashamed for not “handling it better”
You are making life changing decisions while your nervous system feels unstable
You need steadiness more than advice
You want support that is structured
You don’t have to be in crisis to deserve support.
How We Work Together
In this space, we:
Move slowly enough for your nervous system to stay regulated
Stay present instead of rushing decisions
Clarify what’s actually happening
Focus on grounded next steps
Provide stability between sessions
You won’t be asked to relive trauma. You won’t be rushed into decisions.
Ways to Be Held

What the Holding Space Is- and What It Is Not
This is a supportive container, not a clinical or crisis-based space.

Structured emotional support

Contained and time-limited
Grounded and stablizing
The Holding Space isn’t:
therapy
crisis support
trauma processing
uncontained emotional venting

Doris Harrington, MSW
Founder of The Holding Space
I created The Holding Space for women navigating betrayal trauma during pregnancy and postpartum.My approach is grounded in social work training and nervous system safety, pacing and containment.
Healing doesn’t require reliving everything. It requires being supported while you rebuild.
