Paradigms of Domination and Dignity: Working ethically with clients on both sides

You can’t support your client struggling on either side of issues of power and control with empathy and generalized psychological training alone.

If you haven’t been specifically trained in issues of power and control, those blind spots leave you and your clients stuck, frustrated, and at risk of things continuing to escalate along the continuum of violence.

Learn practical interventions that go beyond empathy to empower clients to own their agency and change their dynamics safely and effectively.

Join my course to:

  • Identify and assess patterns/cycles of coercion, control, and violence that often underpin why something was traumatic and what informs attachment style.

  • Use clear, concrete safety planning and risk management strategies tailored to each client and context.

  • Apply communication, empathetic imagination and accountability intervention skills that reduce harm and prevent re-traumatization.

  • Build confident clinical understanding and response-ability plans for both survivors and those who use coercive control against them.

Rosemary is passionate about cutting through the confusion for therapists and helping professionals around issues of power and control.

Her work seeks to empower people with clear, practical education on how to work with all sides of the cycle of harm and addiction.

At the heart of her teaching is a simple but life-giving truth: real change happens when we choose to live from the power of love (and self-accountability)—not the love of power.
