What supervision is:

In the social sciences and helping professions the word takes on quite a different meaning from general usage.
First supervision connotes a sense of clarity and being in a better position to see things, to perceive and correct issues as from above. 
A supervisor in this sense is someone who has many years of experience and thus is aware of many of the problems that can arise.
Jack has been in supervision himself for over 20 years and was trained in supervision while in graduate school in the early ’90s.

 

Online Bodywork Supervision Sessions:
As an AMTA presenter, and as a teacher and sponsor of continuing education classes, I started to realize how important it is for touch practitioners to have follow-up supervision sessions for areas of their practice they were trying to improve. Most of us are required to take continuing education to maintain our professional license. Often we are not sure of how to incorporate what we learned as CEs into our practice. Also, we are required to take Ethics but most of the Ethics classes offered do not pertain to difficulties we are experiencing with certain clients and other situations in our practice. As a result I have been giving supervision sessions and CEs for individuals and groups for over 20 years. You’ll receive a session video, a certificate, a written report, and 2 CEs.
