Who this is for

Pre- and post-licensure clinicians seeking a small, supportive space that reduces isolation, strengthens ethical practice, and helps you integrate learning both with your clients and within yourself as a practitioner.

This group is open to clinicians from anywhere — as long as you can connect virtually.

Orientation & Methods

This group is trauma-informed, bottom-up, and relational with a strong psychodynamic frame. We will borrow from nervous-system and re-processing tools such as the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), bilateral stimulation (with bone-conduction headphones), Brainspotting, and EMDR, alongside parts-work language for bottom-up integration.

Core emphases include dual attunement, co-regulation, rupture and repair, and clinical posture — supporting both your effectiveness with clients and your own self-attunement as a clinician.

Note: Participants will need bone-conduction headphones before the first group for bilateral listening practice.

Focus Areas

• Case formulation & treatment planning within a trauma-informed lens

• Attachment trauma, transference & counter-transference: understanding how these dynamics show up, working with enactments, and preserving the frame

• Nervous-system attunement: activation, titration, and integration

• Experiential interventions and parts-work language for bottom-up integration

• Ethical container, scope, and boundaries (including supervision-in-practice)

• Burnout protection, sustainable pacing, and community care for both client outcomes and clinician wellbeing

Learning Supports

• Welcome Package: One week before your first session, you’ll receive a digital packet with suggested readings, downloads, tech information, and links to resources to help you prepare.

• Session Supplements: A week before each supervision session, you’ll receive a short resource — a slide deck, article, video, demo, or role play clip — tied to the theme.

• Community Connection: We’ll also develop a closed WhatsApp group for the cohort — a place to share thoughts, resources, wild moments from practice, and the occasional ridiculous meme. We’ll give your cohort a fun name and let the group live on well beyond the six sessions, so the support (and silliness) continues.

• Playful Touches: Expect a touch of creativity along the way (imagine a slide deck with photos of random animals instead of stock therapy diagrams) — because supervision can be rigorous and humanizing.

Weekly Themes (6 sessions)

1. Nov 21 — Clinical Posture & Creating the Safe Container
   Exploring stance, boundaries, and presence. Setting up safety and clarity for the group and in your own clinical work. Mapping your supervision goals and learning edges.

2. Dec 5 — Dual Attunement, Co-Regulation & Rupture/Repair in the Room
   Tracking self/other simultaneously; pacing, rupture prevention, and micro-repair processes that build resilience in the therapeutic relationship.

3. Dec 19 — Activation, Titration & Integration
   Recognizing somatic markers, tracking the window of tolerance, and practicing nervous-system-informed interventions for grounding and integration.

4. Jan 9 — Transference, Counter-Transference & Attachment Trauma
   Understanding how these dynamics show up with clients. Working with attachment trauma while maintaining attention to enactments, rupture and repair, and preserving the therapeutic frame.

5. Jan 23 — Case Consultations and Experiential Interventions
   Integrating psychodynamic, somatic, and parts-work perspectives; practicing experiential interventions and mapping interventions and care.

6. Feb 6 — Building & Maintaining a Sustainable Trauma-Informed Practice
   Clinician wellbeing, ethical pacing, peer consultation, and long-term supervision strategies that sustain both yourself and your clinical practice.

What you’ll gain

• Consistent, high-quality feedback on real cases

• Practical interventions you can use immediately in your practice with clients — and with yourself for reflection, regulation, and growth

• A small, supportive community—closed to deepen trust across the full arc of the cohort

• Formal receipts suitable for CE/supervision requirements and tax purposes
