Topic
Supervisor Reactions – Countertransference, Parallel, Process or Somatic Resonance

Input

I was supervising a senior trainee on their client practice and she was explaining how
her sessions were progressing and what she was learning. Strangely I was feeling a
lack of energy, my mind was drifting off and having difficulty paying attention. What
could I do next?
1. Just see this as a symptom of poor sleeping, so pull myself together and focus
2. Reflect on how this is a Countertransference response. Consider how the
trainee is triggering an unconscious reaction in me.
3. Pay attention to how my reaction to my trainee may be a parallel process
between the coach and her client.
4. Consider my reaction as a somatic resonance to the trainee’s emotional state
and the relationship dynamics.

In the webinar I’ll cover all four responses but focus more on point 4 and how as
Supervisor I can use my emotional reactions as valuable data to clarify what is
happening to the supervisee.
I find the Hawkins 7 Eye +1 a useful model for exploring the different elements of the
supervision process.
I’ll also use a Gestalt perspective to provide a theoretical explanation for how to
maximise the impact of point 4, but also how this approach can become ineffective if
not delivered properly.
