As far as tou know, has your t had supervision to discuss your case?? Do they tell you everything that is said? Do you want them to?

Had appointment with EMDR T. A few weeks ago, she told me she meets for group EMDR supervision and she was going to ask about my case just to be sure. So it happened. So she had a sheet full of notes. With quite a bit of feed back. She always wants to be transparent so she told me everything. Not sure that I want to know wverything. There wasn't anything bad just clarification and suggestions on how to do things better

My T is temporarily licensed so I know she has had supervision and has discussed me with her mentor. She has not gotten into details and I'm not sure I would want her to.... She has also commented a few times about how things I have joked about (I tease her quite a bit) have been shared with her spouse (with no personal details) and even that makes me uncomfortable. I think I would rather believe she forgets about me once I wall out the door.

Mine says he does not do supervision stuff.
If he has any T related questions he asks the T's he works with

I don't know. She supervisors others.

[winterblues17]

Yes mine had mentioned supervision and is it in. I assume she discusses some stuff about our session, and I know she definitely done so before because it was mentioned, but I don't think I care to know much about it because I'm assuming it's more so for her in the sense of if she's a bit stuck or confused with something I say. At first I was a bit taken aback but after talking and also reading about it, I see it as a good thing really.

Mine told me he sought supervision for me on EMDR in the beginning. This was before he realized I dissociate so bad. He was also in the midst of gaining EMDR certification so he would video my sessions, with permission of course. I know he also had supervision once from a DID specialist regarding recommending a book for me to read. I'm glad he does what he feels is needed even though he is in private practice.

He only shares the details that he feels would be helpful to me and I am fine with that. He recently shared a detail from EMDR supervision from almost a year ago because it was pertinent to our conversation.

In the UK you are required to have supervision. He has talked about me quite a few times and has offered to share some insights but I have declined. I'm glad he has that support to ensure he's not missing anything in his own process that could negatively impact the work.

Mine doesn't she has her own practice.

All the Ts I have seen has been under supervision, the counselors I work with have supervision once a month, looks like it’s a requirement here.

I’m gonna ask a colleague, out of curiosity.

I’ve never discussed what is discussed about me, don’t see the necessity.

[CharlieStarDust]

My T is the director of the place - so she’s the one that does the supervision. She’s never mentioned talking about me, but has said when she feels stuck, she’ll consult with colleagues.

T is also in private practice. She has decided to be part of an outside EMDR consultation group

My T is in private practice and has a supervisor. I bet she has talked to him/her about me as i am quite difficult and stubborn.

[kecanoe]

Both of my Ts have been practicing for 20 + years, neither is in direct supervision. However T3 is part of a peer support group where they can seek advice and share experience. She has said a couple of times that she might ask about stuff we are doing.

[ScarletPimpernel]

My T also meets with a group of other therapists. She's asked some advice about me one time. She told me what they said. It wasn't a big deal.

[Out There]

Yes , both of them have and I know some of it. On the whole it's helpful , but sometimes it's meddlesome , triggering and unhelpful and I've said that it is.

[nottrustin]

I have such mixed feeling about it . One the one hand I am glad that she is willing to get other opinions because she wants to be the best possible T for me. She is not afraid to say, I might not be doing something the best way possible. Ex. They think part of the reason I have disasociating so much is because she is not giving me enough time to reground after each reprocessing.

She was talking about some of my what they said about family relationships. She was talking Bout something that happened with my dad over Christmas. I clarified thay it was my stepdad. My dad has been deceased for 6 years. It was very clear that it wasn't just a slip of the tongue. She honestly thought it was my dad. She apologized profusely. I have a very complicated family with complicated connections. Long term T has to make a chart of family and the connections to remember...so I get it but..

I think her going to supervision reminds me how complicated my life is. One of my abandonment issues is that I am too going to be too much or too complicated and people will leave.

On a positive, I told her I think part of my issues is that I have trust issues and we are trying to discuss such intense issues. I know I should and can trust her but I need time for that to develop. So we are going to work on our relationship and not worry about doing just EMDR every session

[Spangle]

My t has talked about me several times that I know about, but he didn’t share with me the ‘where’s & what for’s’. I’m perfectly happy that he does as I know I’m the first survivor he’s worked with. He is also a supervisor for other therapists.

[clueda]

I've never talked to her about it, but it does say on her website that she is in regular supervision and also meets with therapists regularly to discuss cases. I'm glad she does!

One time it felt like she might have discussed me in supervision, because it felt like she suddenly had a new "strategy". I'm just guessing though...

She told me one time that she should "take it to supervision" when i told her how something she'd said affected me. I've forgotten what it actually was that she said, but recall that she said that. I don't know if she did or not. Evidently we worked thru it whatever it was.

[lucozader]

Supervision is mandatory in the UK (if you are a member of a regulating body), and even if it wasn't, there's no way I'd see a T who wasn't having it regularly. I think it's an essential part of ethically sound practice.

My T has told me that he has more supervision than is required of him, and has mentioned his supervisor a couple of times, but I don't know anything specific about it. I would quite like to know what's been said about me...

[Argonautomobile]

Yes, he's mentioned his supervisor before, but not as directly relates to my therapy. I've no idea if I've ever come up in their meetings - I can't imagine what about me/my therapy would have.

I'm glad he has supervision. I'd think it would be very important.

[Salmon77]

Mine has a peer discussion group, which I know about because he mentioned it at intake, but he has never said anything since. So I have no idea if he has ever talked about me or what was said or anything like that. Also he has his own T, which I guess is not the same as a supervisor but probably helps, too.

[Amyjay]

My Ts have both been psychologists and both are required to have regular supervision. My first T told me she had 3 different supervisors. That surprised me but she said they were each for different aspects of practise. I know my first t sought advice from my current T (maybe current T was one of her supervisors?) and I know current T has consulted with her group of EMDR Ts that she regularly interacts with. But neither T has discussed specifics of any supervision conversations about me, with me. I haven't asked.
I am a fan of supervision. In my own profession I know its a good thing to regularly consult with colleagues and mentors to get support and advice.

[Myrto]

I think supervision should be compulsory. Unfortunately it's not, at least in my country. My ex therapist told me when I first started seeing her that she would consult with other therapists once in a while. But there was no supervision. I asked my last therapist at some point whether she had supervision and she was 1) surprised I even knew about it and 2) got defensive and refused to tell me, claiming it was none of my business. That is an attitude I have encountered several times from therapists I interviewed over the phone: when I asked they said "are you a therapist?" so I'm guessing the vast majority of clients don't ask that and they assume only professionals know about supervision. And most of them refused to answer me, saying that it was personal and that it had no relevance to my therapy. Truly baffling.

[nottrustin]

I wonder if EMDR T told so much because she believes in being transparent? She had mentioned I have a long term T. They told her that long term T can play an important support role in my the work that the two of us do. I told her that has always been the plan. The trauma work we do is somethimg long term T and I still talk about. She told me shr assumed that considering how long we have worked together. She said it is important to have her support much like a mother roll....NO clue what she meant by that. She said that because she likes to be transparent and we were dis using T both in this session and during supervision she felt the need to call T and touch base.
