Supervision/Training Group
Training group for clinicians to talk about cases and explore their feelings in the here and now as a way to work on their self in order to improve their capacity as a clinician. The group emphasizes the development of the clinician’s self as a central clinical tool. Through facilitated reflection and group process, members examine internal conflicts, relational patterns, and affective responses that shape therapeutic presence and clinical judgment. The focus is on increasing emotional awareness, tolerance for ambiguity, and capacity for attuned, thoughtful therapeutic work. We will meet remotely.
