The work that we do as therapists places us in the position of assisting individuals who are in need of emotional support, and who may be facing economic, educational, and environmental conditions different from our own. This often creates complicated power dynamics. In an attempt to curb the power imbalance, it’s critical that we acknowledge our socioeconomic position and any systemic privilege that we hold in relation to our clients and among others.
