Supervision that doesn’t suck
I became a supervisor because I had some pretty ableist “mentors” along the way.
Excluding a small handful of names along the way, I had some pretty horrible experiences in supervision while working towards my licensure. The most vivid experience I had was when a cis-gendered, older, white clinic owner asked me how I was doing in front of a group of people. When I replied that it was a “high pain day” (as it often can be in the Winter), he told me I was impaired and that I couldn’t see clients when I was feeling this way. He hadn’t asked me if I felt impaired, or pulled me aside to learn more about what I was doing to manage it relative to clients. He just told me. And I knew right then I never wanted another clinician to have a similar experience.
