Hi, I'm an older student and just changed my major from a BSW to Psychology. I would like feedback on an awful clinical supervision experience I had for 2 semesters. I had an odd supervisor. Some of the things she said to me: "the reason I'm tough on you is I'm experiencing counter-transference with you" "do I remind you of someone you don't like, do I remind you of your mother?" "this is where I get to use my power over you, as your supervisor" "I'm an authority figure to you" "you're not ready for grad school, your present job does not prepare you for grad school" "you're very monotone and I can't see your passion" "I do this for free, ya know" "I know your not gonna miss me over break" "I know you think I'm a *****" "Want to look at something on my computer, are you going to feel ok sitting beside me?" "I can sense you're afraid of me, ya know" "Debate me" "Am I annoying you? Then say it, say it to me" "Maybe next semester, YOU can run the supervision meetings" "Do you even know what a social worker does?" And the coup de grace, after I sent her a copy of a paper highlighting abuse in my past, she responded with "Is this actually relevent"
Just needed to get that off my chest.
