I'm able to understand these concepts as they apply to others, but it recently came to light that I'm a bit confused when I throw myself into the mix. This was discovered in looking at my own history - which I don't think is relevant to the discussion at this point. I'm mostly curious how others who have experienced trauma caused by a power imbalance view themselves when it comes to power.
When I think about it for myself what comes up right away is - No. Power is abuse. (They are deeply connected).
I can understand that power can be held by someone without abusing it, but at the same time - I struggle to view that as power and not just a good human behaving justly.....the fact that they aren't abusing means that they've relinquished power. Or power is balanced out of the equation.
No idea if this makes sense or resonates with anyone else - curious to hear from others.
Thanks
