Supervision in Bodywork
Clinical, Personal, and Peer Supervision
Instructor Jack Blackburn, MT, LMP
Certified Spiritual Director
Jack has been providing training and writings about different kinds of professional supervision for many years. He has published several articles on the subject, including guidelines on starting your own peer supervision group.
What supervision is: In the social sciences and helping professions the word takes on quite a different meaning from general usage. First supervision connotes a sense of clarity and being in a better position to see things, to perceive and correct issues as from above. A supervisor in this sense is someone who has many years of experience and thus is aware of many of the problems that can arise. Jack has been in supervision himself for almost 18 years and was trained in supervision while in graduate school in the early '90s.
Secondly, in the helping professions the supervisor is one who "helps the helper" so to speak, serving at the behest of the practitioner, not the reverse. Thirdly the supervisor must have interactive skills that foster confidence and validation in the supervisee. Fourth the supervisor maintains strict confidentiality towards the practitioner's process. Fifth the supervisor can play a variety of roles to support the practitioner: mentor, coach, preceptor, advocate, tutor, consultant, counselor and sometimes therapist. Supervision is required in many of the helping professions because client sessions are mostly one-on-one and therefore intimate and personal.
