I didn't really contribute to the thread on psychological holding--it was a trigger--but then again everything is these days. But since you are new to therapy you might experience it sooner or later. For me, it felt like the world had shrunk down to just me and him, and that whatever memory or thought I was struggling with, he was there, in it with me, helping to draw it out and holding it with me. My T was very quiet in himself, and radiated calm. I felt like he was shelter from the storm at times, because of his quietness, by his leaning forward to catch every word, and by his voice, which he would match to mine. Usually very soft. I liked Daisy's analogy, so I'm going to use it. It's like one soul hugging another.
