Supervision of bodyworkers and therapists
I have many years of experience in body therapy work, including trauma and process work, where I sense psychological parts of the client, either inside or outside the client’s consciousness. My awareness of psychological processes and conditions in the nervous system while working in the physical, mostly connective tissue, helps me to understand the client more fully.
My background as a psychologist, several body therapy approaches, Rolfer and IFS therapist will form the theoretical basis for the supervision.
- If you have clients who come into contact with trauma states or emotions that you don’t know what to do with, I can spar with you on how to most beneficially face it.
- If you notice that you are activated in a certain way before/during/after working with a particular client, I can explore with you which parts of you have been activated and find out what they need.
- If you find it difficult to keep the frame, either in general or in relation to a specific client, I can help you explore which parts of you and/or the client are at play.
- If you have a client you think you need input on or have hit a block with, you can bring the client to a session with me where we together sense and work with what shows up in the client.
- If you want to practice sensing in deeper layers of the client’s body, I can support you in developing your confidence to follow what you feel and thus follow the client’s system.
- If you are curious about a client’s psychological/psychiatric issues as part of your physical work with them, we can explore and expand your understanding together.
- I would like a setup like on the page called ‘my approach’, where there is no image but just a headline and then the text.
Supervision of therapists
I see supervision as a space for contemplation and intimacy with the parts of the therapist that are activated in the meeting with clients. Similarly, supervision is an opportunity to spar and expand the understanding of the client’s system and history. This enhances the therapist’s self-energy, allowing the therapeutic work to flow better. I use the IFS approach and my somatic understanding as a framework for supervision, which can take place individually or in groups.
