The children we see carry big stories. Over time, those stories live in us too. Supervision is how we keep the work — and the worker — well.
Beyond case review
Good supervision is more than discussing cases. It's a regulated space where the therapist's own nervous system can be attended to, so that regulation can be offered back to the child.
What we focus on
- The parallel process between therapist and child.
- Vicarious load — naming it before it accumulates.
- The clinician's attachment history as it shows up in the room.
A therapist who is held can hold. One who isn't, can't — not for long.
If you're carrying complex caseloads without reflective supervision, that's the first thing to tend.
