Beyond the Holding Environment
An introduction to the Diamond Approach
“Our early environment becomes projected onto our sense of the world and determines how comfortable we feel in our lives. Inadequacies in our early environment make it difficult for us to trust that reality can actually function to hold us. The more we can understand our early holding and what holding is about the more the effect of early inadequacies will be eased and healed.”
“The Diamond Approach is a superb combination of some of the best of modern Western psychology with ancient (and spiritual) wisdom. I recommend the Diamond Approach as probably the most balanced of the widely available spiritual psychologies/therapies” Ken Wilbur from the cover of “The Unfolding Now”
“A masterpiece of integration of both the spiritual and psychotherapeutic traditions which is essential material for anyone concerned with helping others to develop a deeper sense of personhood or to liberate themselves from the repetition compulsion to suffer that defines the neurotic condition” David Boadella from the cover of “Pearl beyond Price”
