Description
Burnout doesn’t just take clinicians out of the field. It drains meaning from the day-to-day work. And in supervision, these same patterns can shape how trainees think about their entire careers.
In this session, Dr. Sean Davis – AAMFT-approved supervisor and co-editor of Clinical Supervision Activities for increasing Competence and Self-Awareness – will share a practical framework that helps you and your supervisees bring clarity, direction, and depth back into clinical work.
You’ll learn how to:
- Guide supervisees to build safety and attunement before jumping to technique
- Show them how to spark hope and expectancy when clients feel struck
- Apply a practical framework to prevent burnout and foster purpose in your supervisees – and yourself
