Portuguese term or phrase: potência do plantão
A potência do plantão está em revelar o sentido de um momento em que o sofrimento, a dúvida, a confusão são vividos de maneira a paralisar, dificultar o fluxo da vida.

Neste caso, trata-se de um plantão dado por psicólogos.*

Não me parece muito natural quando o autor expressa "a potência do plantão", então busco sugestões para que a tradução pareça mais natural.

A propósito, "potência" é uma péssima escolha em português.
