This third podcast by Drs. Kim McBride and Colin Ward provides an uplifting shift in how supervisors can perceive and work with their supervisees in such a way to activate their resilient tendencies as well as with their clients.  The first of these is the idea of Capacity.  Grounded in the work of Drs. Ward, Heusler, and Fort (Resilient Centered Counseling), Capacity is one of four foundational pillars of resilience (the other three are Connection, Culture, and Community) and a central stance in working with supervisees from a position of solidarity and strength.  Sharing both personal stories and wisdoms derived from years of supervisory practice, Dr. McBride and Ward provide a heart felt framework for working with supervisees from a perspective inherent worth and capacity.

This episode provides a new definition of supervision, emphasizing collaboration, solidarity, and resourcing.  The Self as a Supervisor will also be presented as an essential benchmark for supervision and how the growth of the supervisor directly influences the growth of supervisees and clinical efficacy. 

As a series designed to support mental health practitioners as they support others seeking better lives and better relationships, this podcast explores the importance of Clinical Supervision. As a distinct field, Drs. Kim McBride and Colin Ward will explore how counseling supervision can support mental health providers facing the challenges of rising caseloads, low reimbursement rates, and isolation.
