Understanding the parallel process and managing client projections in supervision will be discussed, incorporating insights from neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be equipped with a deeper understanding of trauma-informed supervision and practical skills to enhance their supervisory effectiveness. This will ultimately lead to better outcomes for supervisees and their clients, fostering a more
