ABSTRACT
This exercise is about participants reflecting on both the supportive and the depleting relationships in their life. Some people have all too little experience in childhood of ‘togetherness’ when the going gets tough or ‘power with’ rather than ‘power over’ or ‘power under’ relationships. As a result, some people go through life underutilising the support of others and moving into the familiarity of self-help, which is often lonely and energy depleting, as opposed to ‘doing it together,’ which is energising.
