Tapping The Power Within

Authentic power encompasses the ability to face adversity, to overcome fear and inhibition, to be in touch with our inner lives and be able to plan ahead.

Whether we admit it or not, power is an essential ingredient of life. It is present in every single human action and transaction; it is our ability to produce an effect, to make what we want happen. Usually, its presence is unspoken. Part of the problem is that when we think of power, most of us think of dominance—command and control. But that's only one type of power.

During this discussion we look forward to discussing the pattern of behavior that involves violence and abuse in domestic environments. We will also discuss social pressures against reporting domestic violence.  Our discussion will lead to the effects of domestic violence on professionals who respond to the issues.  

Please participate in this open discussion with our hosts and invited guests of victims, authors, and international professional leaders.
