Relational Best with Amanda Williamson

“Through the use of the dominator and partnership models of social organization for the analysis of both our present and our potential future, we can also begin to transcend the conventional polarities between right and left, capitalism and communism, religion and secularism, and even masculinism and feminism.”  ― Riane Eisler, The Chalice and the Blade: Our History, Our Future   I am exploring the dichotomy between vulnerability and potency as a focal point, prompted by ongoing discussions with my therapeutic coaching supervisor Carolyn Mumby . Carolyn is a dual qualified Executive Coach and former Chair of the BACP Coaching Division, and has been pivotal in the development of the emerging discipline of therapeutic coaching and dual qualified practice within the BACP and in the UK.  Carolyn drew my attention to the concept of vulnerability being typically associated with therapy and potency with coaching. I recently read the book " The Chalice and the Blade" by Riane Eisler
