I think it does because power dynamics are core to many issues. But I think of power dynamics correlating with death or survival.

Though in response to another's reply, I think the context was in a client's power to quit, leave therapy. For me it's not a matter of a power 'being removed'. The attachment in the therapy setting can be so strong that it feels like parent-child. And for a child, this attachment is a matter of survival. So it was already there, brought to surface by the relationship.

Rationally, I think, this is just a therapy relationship. I can just leave! But the emotional part of me keeps me tied up in these dynamics. Leaving therapy before it's finished would be traumatic for me, similar to how it played out in childhood. ie the attachment is so painful that I sever it and cut my parents off emotionally and physical, going on my own before I'm ready-with traumatic consequences. I have thought of quitting numerous times, but it seems to be a lose-lose situation. I am trying ot work things out right now but am afraid I did all I can do at this point.

Some of us make ourselves more vulnerable than others. Because of our temperament, character, beliefs in therapy, defenses, or other reasons. The most vulnerable natural seem most likely to be hurt.
