I don't think in terms of power, don't see that as useful. I think power is in the eye of the beholder, like beauty :-) What I think and feel about power is going to be different from what anyone else thinks and feels, is going to be idiosyncratic rather than "real". I can get up and leave the therapy situation (may not want to; I may feel hurt/pain, but I can talk or not talk, leave or not, try what my therapist "suggests" or not, etc.). I have all the power in my life because it is my life alone, ain't no one else in this head but me
