In therapy, something interesting often happens—the most important truth comes out in the final moments of the session. In this episode of Holding Space on the Mountain, we explore why the things people say right before walking out the door often carry the deepest emotion. Drawing from insights in Emotionally Focused Therapy, we talk about how vulnerability unfolds in layers, why primary emotions like grief, fear, and longing take time to surface, and why healing doesn't have to be rushed. If you’ve ever left a conversation wishing you had said something sooner, this episode will remind you that sometimes the heart simply needs time to find its words.
