This process also allows a child to express emotion while keeping them safe. It also refers to the way the mother handles infant’s projection of painful, angry, unbearable feelings, returning them to the child in a modified, contained way. The therapist provides a similar function helping the client work through their emotions with a reflective, ‘Adult’ therapist. In this way the client learns to think through and understand their emotional experience and to contain their own feelings. a1haslam https://padlet.com/a1haslam/h6j4j96hrz52oyef/wish/1463675278 http://relational-integrative-psychotherapy.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Chapter-5-Therapeutic-Holding-and-Containing-handout.pdf#]]> 2021-04-27 10:41:10 UTC https://padlet.com/a1haslam/h6j4j96hrz52oyef/wish/1463675278 k4alexander https://padlet.com/a1haslam/h6j4j96hrz52oyef/wish/1463686622 Purpose of containment is turning a situation from an overwhelming one to one that is manageable and keeps people safe

There are two basic elements:
  • The 'container' - this is an adult - usually a key person in the child's life - who is able to acknowledge and accept a child's distress and makes experiences safe for them by offering a way, temporarily, to relieve the child of their anxieties, until they are able to understand and control them themselves.
  • All the thoughts and feelings that give rise to fears and anxieties and which prevent a child from understanding and managing their own feelings are 'contained' by the adult.
