Ethics as Right Use of Power – Using your power with wisdom and skill

Course Description:
The heart of ethics is human relationships. Skillful and wise use of power is central to our work as holistic practitioners. Our power is role dependent. Power is relational energy and impacts all we do. The word power may elicit different responses for different people. Power is often felt to have a hard edge, implying a sort of one-up position or control over another. This definition of power is far too limited. Power either heals or is disempowering. This approach guides you into a deeper understanding and connection with your individual relationship with power and the impact this has on the therapeutic relationship. Understanding and managing the complex dynamics of the power differential allows us to offer wise and trustworthy care to those we serve. Learn to express your power with wisdom and skill.
What you will learn:

As a result of attending this course participants will demonstrate proficiency in understanding the multiple dynamics of the power differential. You will explore and gain an understanding of power as relational energy, and gain deeper insight into personal habits, beliefs and tendencies related to power and the impact this has on the therapeutic relationship. You will gain clarity and increased sensitivity of the experience of being in less powerful and more powerful places in relationship. Students will learn to distinguish between personal power and role power. You will learn to embody Right Use of Power in Action.
