PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES
Power Abused, Power Healed: The Home Study Course
A home study course offering 4 CE credits. Utilizing the medium of both educational and soul-touching stories, the text for this course explores a variety
of potential abuses of power in therapeutic and healing arts contexts, and in public and private life, as well. With an emphasis on the concept that healing childhood wounds to the root heals the misuse of power on an individual and global scale, the text reveals the roots of the temptation to abuse our authority as professionals, the impact that abuse can have on our clients, and the healing that is possible. Chapters are divided into three sections: the first exposing the initial childhood trauma, the second exploring the consequences and healing of that trauma, and the third, entitled “Here And Now,” which contains questions designed to inspire the reader to search within for the roots of his/her own relationship with power.
