Supervision Module 2: Advanced themes

Module 2: Advanced themes in supervision
In Module 2 we take a closer look on what is happening in the supervision relationship. Understanding, insight and joy can can emerge in supervision, but anxiety can also be present in the session and influence the process – both in the supervisor and supervisee. In this module, we will explore such dynamics, looking at how we can create the conditions to make space and work with different themes that can come up in a session.

Working form
Background and theory will be alternated with reflection and with much mutual supervision practice in small groups, where you can immediately bring the module’s themes into practice.
Mindfulness practices throughout these days will support embodiment in the supervisions. There is also room to discuss questions participants may bring from their supervision work.

Themes
Deepening the practice, refining supervision skills – Safety, vulnerability and the inner critic – Mindful communication – Resonance: – Transference and countertransference – Supporting and challenging your supervisees – Supervision practice in small groups.

Requirements
Module 2 welcomes participants who have attended Module 1 and who have some experience in giving supervision. If you have followed a basic supervison training elsewhere, you are welcome to join, too. Please describe your experience on the registration form.

Experiences of participants in previous Supervision modules:

“I learned how valuable it is to have different styles in working with my supervisee so I can better connect with them.”

“Supervision practice in small groups was very important for my learning.”

“Working in a group with different nationalities and different styles provides great learning, and is so enjoyable.”
