I'm a therapist, and I train other therapists. And I supervise some therapists and I train other therapists to supervise other therapists. And I manage a team of therapists who train other therapists and who train other therapists to supervise other therapists.
Kind "in it" at this stage.
So, what do you do when you need therapy?
I find a therapist I don't know!
There's a few of them about!
Wow you're pretty high up there. So that sounds like you are yourself a supervisor and supervisor educator and supervisor educators' supervisor? Like some kind of a consulting group where my supervisors probably got trained? I don't actually know who does the licensing for supervisor status - I'm guessing it's just like the entry level where you have to get hours from anywhere that the state board vetted and stamped off on? It's so interesting to me how state licensure has such a long relationship with private entities.
I'm in the UK so it's a different structure than the US, and the role is different too, less overlap with the medical approach.
Most of what we so is training counsellors, the training of qualified counsellors in how to provide clinical supervision is a small part of it.
We're a private training company, doing counselling, legal, medical and accounting. I work for the counselling part of course.
Very cool! Wish there were more of us on here. r/therapists is still one of the main reasons I use Reddit. Well, uh, I guess you and I could talk? But at that point, with you as a super-super and me as a first-year post-grad, it would just sound like shoddy anonymous online supervision!
I'm up for that!
I doubt I could get to know you the way a supervisor would, doesn't mean it wouldn't be worthwhile for both of us.
Talking with colleagues is always a joy. I'm leaving today for a long weekend, hanging out with a dozen counsellors for a person centred encounter group.
Hopefully very restful being in an environment saturated in the core conditions 😁
I love that idea too! We just gotta create a space for it, I guess. Boy do I have things to say... my facility's CEO took his life this weekend and it's been a mad scramble. Only in In-patient!
