The Held Space Library

A quiet archive of letters for those who hold so much for others.

This is a resting place for the inner lives of caregivers, therapists, and clinicians, a collection of words that tend to the ones who are so often tending to everyone else.

Here, each “book” holds a different kind of offering: reflections on grief, trust, burnout, and more. These are not clinical notes, but the kinds of words you might whisper to a friend, write in the margins, or keep close in your pocket.
