Listen "How to Get the Most Out of Supervision"
Episode Synopsis
Supervision and consultation are a core part of being a therapist, whether in practicum, newly graduated, or a decade into practice (and beyond).In this episode, we discuss how to get the most out of supervision, like bringing a list, not fixating on every misstep, and sharing the messy parts of your work, ensuring that any supervision conversations are intentional, useful, and ultimately helpful for you to become a better clinician.And yep, we also talk about how some supervisors are just not very good. Some supervisory experiences include a harmful abuse of power. We explore how to survive supervision and jump through the evaluation hoop even when things aren't going well.We consider supervision a hugely sacred relationship, and we want you to feel safe in supervision and flourish with oversight and help along the way!What helps you get the most out of supervision?
