As supervisors, we use our experience and knowledge around shaping processes to help expand the supervisee’s view of their clients and themselves as therapists. As such, we don’t try to do therapy through the supervisee by simply giving answers to client issues. Rather, we help the supervisee develop his or her own skill in thinking through client issues and interventions. We also help supervisees address person-of-the-therapist and counter-transference issues (as it can be useful in understanding their clients). We see supervisees as colleagues with wisdom and experience that contribute to our growth as a clinicians. Our stance is always with empathy and encouragement, attuned to supervisees -where they are developmentally as clinicians and emotionally as people.
