This webinar was part of a series that was emerging with John at Onlinevents. In Group Supervision Lets get started!, we explored beginnings; Group Supervision – Cruising in the middle focussed more on the process and holding space during the life of the group; and this next webinar emerged from questions in the room and has become: Group Supervision How To…? Really?
What’s the likelihood of us finding concrete answers to multiple fascinating ‘How to’ questions posed by the prospect of running a supervision group? I’m not sure but I am up for exploring with you!
How to deal with people who take up the time, don’t speak enough, interrupt? How to deal with abruptions, dual relationships, cliques, conflicts of interests, requests to record sessions? How to work with ethical dilemmas and what if a group member reveals unethical practice? How to notice my own triggers as supervisor, my own projections onto group members, assumptions, judgements? How to surface parallel process? How to return to centre when I have been completely knocked off!
