Demystifying the Remediation Process in Supervision
3 LPC-S CEUs - $150 fee
In this session, participants will have an opportunity to calm remediation fears while ensuring they remain attentive to the gatekeeping, an integral part of the role of a supervisor. During this presentation, attendees will be introduced to Relational Cultural Theory (RCT) concepts specifically learning how to create mutual growth-fostering relationships, engage in power-with as opposed to power-over, and foster space for authenticity and vulnerability in the supervisory relationship. Participants in this presentation will also explore the remediation process, through an RCT framework, while gaining insights regarding the relationship between remediation and gatekeeping, the value of informed consent in supervision, inherent power dynamics, professional dispositions, and counselor impairment. Session attendees will be provided with the presenter's informed consent and remediation plan documents both designed within an RCT framework. Participants will leave empowered with the tools and skills to successfully remediate current and future supervisees.
