The social brain is in its natural habitat when we’re talking with someone face-to-face in real time.
\n-Daniel Goleman (psychologist who defined \u201cEmotional Intelligence\u201d)<\/p>\n

Chapter One, http:\/\/www.ccpa-p.caacc\/blog\/?p=3361<\/a> described my mid-life career transition from engineering to private practice. At the chapter\u2019s end, I reached my goal of finding a supervisor willing to work using a collaborative supervision model, which we named a \u201cpost graduate internship\u201d.<\/p>\n

How does this work?<\/p>\n

Since January, my Mondays are spent working with www.williamcooke.ca<\/a> in Toronto\u2019s Bloor West Village, a leafy, lovely commercial and residential neighborhood. The cozy office occupies the second floor of an older house with a hairdresser on the ground floor and a massage therapist down the hall. The frog statue on the staircase makes me smile.<\/p>\n

I am an active participant with my supervisor, an experienced narrative therapist, and several clients. Narrative Therapists act like investigative reporters, helping the client externalize the problem, explore it\u2019s influence, and look for times when the problem is less influential, called unique outcomes or exceptions. The therapist plays an important role, but the client is the expert. Narrative Therapy encourages using \u201coutsider witnesses\u201d, invited and participating listeners. My presence make it possible for my supervisor to offer this intervention, frequently described by clients as helpful and powerful.<\/p>\n

I also see clients on my own. I might hold a first session with clients anxious to get started before a space frees in my supervisor\u2019s schedule. There are times when my supervisor and the client agree a session with me would be helpful. We are able to work with couples in unique ways, including working one-on-one for part of a session.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s happening here?<\/p>\n

At the center of this (literally, not just theoretically), is the client. Our weekly supervision sessions are based on the same client picture\u2014not just carefully selected quotes, or audio\/video excerpts. Our unique perspectives about that picture create a richness difficult to replicate in a supervision model where one of the parties will never meet the client. Knowing we will both be face-to-face with the client also creates a shared sense of urgency.<\/p>\n

This kind of supervision is so common in the corporate world that I never stopped to consider how much courage it takes to \u201cwalk the talk\u201d in front of each other and the client. Let\u2019s be honest, it\u2019s one thing to provide advice about working with someone you have never met, and quite another to work collaboratively, discuss what you heard, why you said what you said, and even the mistakes you made. But it also offers more to the client (for the right client at the right time), not to mention being both interesting and fun for the supervisor and supervisee.<\/p>\n
