Who it is for
A professional development tool for supervisees in counseling, social work, psychology, and family therapy. It does not replace your program's requirements or your supervisor's direction.
Why it exists
Supervision is the most expensive hour of your training week, and nobody teaches you your half of it. Supervisors get trained in how to supervise. Trainees get told to show up.
This kit is the supervisee's side of the table. The ten minute case presentation, structured backwards: the ask first, then only the context the ask requires, because your supervisor can request more history but cannot give you back the eight minutes you spent on it. A table of question upgrades, replacing "am I doing this right" with questions that expose your reasoning and get you access to how an experienced clinician actually thinks. A script for disagreeing with your supervisor without torching the relationship. And the five minute feedback log that turns three months of conversations into evidence at evaluation time, so your review reads like a development plan instead of a list of adjectives.
The editable worksheets carry the whole system: a case presentation sheet to fill in before each session, the session log, and an evaluation season worksheet that assembles the record before any formal review.
Format
