Can I hold a "space" for a different reason..

So as I am learning what works and what doesn't for me..I have found that when I am triggered into thinking something that I am not 100% certain about..my new question to my little girl is "Can I hold a space for an alternate/different reason".  The reason for this new language is that I am finding that the more "open" I can become to other ideas/different reasons and alternate explanations, the less I will hold firm to the one that is being passed around in my head.  "It allows room without defining what is or is not true"...because my little girl never felt validated for what she experienced as being true to her.  I am really enjoying these nuggets of self discovery.
