The Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision According to Winnie the Pooh Part 2

Meeting and Developing Your Own Inner-Supervisor

In the second session of this 2-part workshop series, Gillian Walter and Shirley Smith will build upon their creative interpretation of the 7-Eyed Model of Supervision. They will recap how this model facilitates powerful inner supervisor experiences, helping practitioners work with image and metaphor to support their supervision practice.

This session is designed as an experiential exploration into each participants’ inner-strengths and not as a lesson in the 7-Eyed Model of Supervision. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with creative tools, working through supervision cases while learning how to leverage their own inner critics as a resource. They will be guided to develop their inner-supervisor and explore how to bring their best selves into client work.

This is an experiential, hands-on session, encouraging playful, creative reflection with the 7 Eyed Model of Supervision as an example. We will not be teaching the model.
