Embracing Ethical Power:
Right Use of Power in Therapy

In the realm of helping professions, the concept of power often carries negative connotations, stemming
from personal experiences of abuse and oppression. However, what if our aversion to power
inadvertently limits our ability to facilitate positive change, both for ourselves and our clients?

Imagine if we were to redefine power as a force for ethical good and collective well-being. The Right Use of
Power TM supports therapists to harness their inherent power responsibly, fostering a nurturing
environment conducive to client growth and healing. Join us for an immersive workshop experience that
delves into the intricacies of power dynamics, encompassing five distinct types of power and the
nuances of up-power and down-power interactions.

​Through engaging activities and heartfelt
discussions, participants will embark on a journey of self-discovery, exploring the intersection of power
and compassion in therapeutic practice.
