Where Might This Show up in Supervision?

We like to think we control our actions, but our reality is made up of a complex interplay of biological and social factors. As humans, we have evolved to be social animals and we release feel-good hormones when we are in a group. The downside of this is we create out-groups and we maintain our self esteem and group cohesion by homogenising and demeaning those in a perceived out-group.

In this experiential, reflective session we will start with self then explore implications for our supervision practice, considering:-

The inevitability of assumptions and bias

Power and privilege: where am I?

Impact of 'othering' on how clients show up

How this relates to our practice.
