The Power of TED* (*The Empowerment Dynamic) – Updated and Revised

The Power of TED* (*The Empowerment Dynamic) is a simple, engaging story with life-changing insights. TED* offers you inspiration and practical tools to improve relationships at work and home.

The Power of TED* offers a powerful alternative to the Karpman Drama Triangle with its roles of Victim, Persecutor, and Rescuer. The Empowerment Dynamic (TED) provides the antidote roles of Creator, Challenger and Coach to the toxic relationship dynamics of the drama triangle and describes how to make the shift happen between them. Central to the shift is a transformation in mindset from a Victim Orientation to a Creator Orientation. The book is illustrated to present essential models to the reader in a simple and accessible way.

The Power of TED* is a fable on personal leadership. This simple, friendly and engaging story conveys a meeting of three characters in a life-transforming conversation on a beach: the central character, David, a fellow named Ted (the embodiment of The Empowerment Dynamic), and Sophia who shares of her experience in making shift happen in her own life.

The Power of Your Other Hand, Revised Edition

Brain researchers in recent years have discovered the vast, untapped potential of the brain’s little used, right hemisphere.

Lucia Capacchione has discovered that our non-dominant hand is a direct channel to that potential and, through the “other hand” exercises and experiments in this course, she will show you how to do such things as:

Talk to your inner child
Aid in recovery from addictions
Channel the deep inner wisdom of your True Self
Help your body to heal
Heal your relationships
Unlock creativity
Uncover hidden artistic abilities
Change negative attitudes about yourself

Like Betty Edwards groundbreaking work the New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, Lucia’s research and field work with people using their other hand provides the raw material for this book. As an art therapist she has observed numerous people using these techniques and becoming more creative, expressive, and intuitive in their lives. She has also noticed people improving their health, developing inner healing powers, and receiving greater fulfillment in their relationships.

Through various drawing and writing exercises with your other hand, Lucia Capacchione hopes you will discover the power that lies hidden in your other hand. The exercises will help you explore and understand your thoughts and feelings on a completely different level, finding out things about yourself that have been buried or concealed for quite some time.

Praise for Previous Edition
“Lucia Capacchione’s workshop was a powerful tool on my healing journey. This book shares her insights and gives you the opportunity to heal your relationship with your inner child. Go for it!”
–Louise L Hay, author, You Can Heal Your Life

“A practical, playful, insightful and delightful way to get in touch with the lnner Self. It is remarkable that one’s own intuitive wisdom and creativity can be tapped so easily, in a process that is readily available to us”
–Joan Borysenko, PhD, Harvard Medical School, author, Minding the Body, Mending the Mind
