Power is wonderful and it has a dark underbelly. In Power Abused, Power Healed Judith Barr reveals the many ways that we can abuse it, often in the guise of helping others. A sobering and thoughtful read, this book will lead you on a wiser path to handling your power, and the possibility to create a more equitable and kinder world.
Drawing upon the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale of ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’, Judith Barr has provided a perceptive and insightful work on the myriad of human experiences by which power is abused and the individual disempowered. Not only does she address the issue of power abuse and how that power abuse becomes engrained as an individual’s life pattern. As importantly, if not more so, she offers human interest experiences as to how such abuse can be healed. The great beauty of this book [Power Abused, Power Healed] lies in the voice of the author — nonjudgmental, supportive, caring and providing the ways by which the individual heals their power and regains their soul. This book is an extraordinary book and highlights the extraordinary work of Judith Barr, a person who through her lifetime has wisely counseled, lovingly supported and adeptly offered the tools by which the individual can heal their wounds and regain their power. Brava! Judith Barr.
I really enjoyed Power Abused, Power Healed. Some of it was just what I needed to hear during the big transitions I am experiencing right now. I have recommended the book to several therapists I know as well as financial planners. It would be a great book for parents to read. It is truly a book for anyone.
Judith Barr is one of my favorite guests and my listeners love her. She offers a different point of view when it comes to the controversies of the day with her no nonsense compassionate approach. The World would be a better place if more people thought like Barr.
I host a talk show on 4 radio stations in CT and have had the pleasure of interviewing Judith several times. After our first on-air conversation, I invited her to return again, and again. Judith has an ability to convey significant, life-altering information in a way that listeners not only relate to, but really feel the impact in their lives. Her voice and delivery are soothing and relaxed, and she instantly establishes and gains credibility.
I wholeheartedly recommend Judith as a therapist and media guest and expert.
It was truly a pleasure having Judith Barr on the show. Her information, expertise, and professionalism were true assets to our program. I would recommend Judith for any interview, panel or discussion that delves into the inner workings of the human condition. Her effort is appropriate toward most of today’s news headlines. She was a joy to work with and I plan to utilize her input for future programming.
Judith is not only a good writer/guest, she backs it up with a private practice and in a noble fashion has a healing heart. I’d like to think WOR is a healing station since we historically have had everyone from Carlton Fredericks to Dr. Atkins. Judith is in that league.
Amazing…I wish more people knew about this work. As always, having you on the show is a rare privilege and it’s been another incredible conversation with you…Thank you, Judith. Guests like you make me look good.
