A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Holding can have different meanings depending on the context used. In general, it refers to ownership or a court's decision on a matter of law.

In civil procedure, a holding is a court's decision on a crucial issue that decides the outcome of the entire case. For example, if a court holds that a defendant is not liable for damages, the case may be dismissed.

In commercial law, holding refers to legally owned property, which may include land, securities, or a subsidiary business owned by a corporation. For example, a company may have a holding in another company, meaning they own a portion of that company's stock.

In securities law, holding refers to ownership of a security such as stock or bond. An individual’s or entity's holding of a security indicates their ownership of a specific number of shares. For example, if someone holds 100 shares of Apple stock, they own 100 shares of the company.

Overall, holding refers to ownership or a court's decision that can have a significant impact on a legal case or business transaction.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
