ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we explore empowerment. How do we empower our clients, and what does that really look like in practice? There are no easy answers, but in essence, if we love and accept someone exactly as they are, if gives them the space and permission to grow into who they might become. We need to find ways to love our clients through the tough times and give them a glimpse at what it looks like to have someone who cares in their corner. Topics in this chapter include the health premise, reframing problems, and what it might mean to use power instead of force.
