Summary

The Relationship Between Power, Parenting and Therapy. Today, Mike and Tim respond to a few listener questions from the past few episodes: First, they read a response to the "therapist vetting questionnaire" from the last episode. What is the role of therapists as mirrors rather than windows, reflecting back the client's thoughts and patterns? In response to another email, does the same questionnaire speak to the importance of finding a therapist who can accept and understand both faith and sexuality?

Next, parenting. How does power over translate there? How do we stay connected with children and focus on catching them doing things right rather than wrong? What is the balance of power over and power with in parenting? What is the importance of love and commitment in order for power to be received as love? We discuss the importance of parenting with connection and empathy rather than shame and punishment, the need for parents to be willing to walk with their children through their mistakes and bad decisions, rather than simply disciplining the symptoms. Further, we discuss the power dynamics within the church and the need for leaders to exercise power alongside rather than power over. Thank you to the emailers for such great questions!

As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue. Feel free to email in questions to [email protected], and to engage the conversation on Facebook and Instagram.
