Compassion fatigue is a common response to work with survivors of trauma. This is because the somatic countertransference is typically not conscious, and we are not taught how to manage and process the secondary trauma that we pick up in our bodies.During supervision, we may work with the therapeutic relationship as it presents itself in the supervision relationship. Because your health and well being as a therapist are paramount to your ability to help your patients/clients, part of supervision will be to help you develop resilience in your work. I also offer coaching and on-on-one training in Psychosomatic Integration that can help you to adapt your individual approach and techniques to meet the needs of specific patients/clients, particularly those who suffer from the effects of trauma and mind/body dissociation.
Individual supervision sessions for psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors, and mental health staff can be arranged in person or via Skype as time permits. To arrange supervision or consultation sessions, CONTACT US or for those NOT in the Auckland area, please go to the distance learning page for online training, consultation, or supervision |
