Yes--I also think of it as an emotional holding. There's a sense of safety of self and environment in experiencing that no matter what happens, chaos will not ensue, either inside the self, or in the external environment.

It also relieves some of the stress of emotional burdens by temporarily allowing them to be the T's responsibility.
