Some other ideas I draw on with supervisees:

• If we are working regularly I may guide you to complete a ‘supervisory genogram’, as inspired by Jamie Aten and Michel Madson (2008) to help place yourself in the story of your supervisory journey to date in a visual way to aid reflections on contexts, relationships and discourses.

• We may think about 'which GRACIES grab you' in order to reflect on what contexts you are acting out of and into.

• We may draw out "positioning compasses’ to remember how to 'go on' in sessions - drawing on the work of Karen Partridge.

• For supervision on work on the level of teams/consultation, I am experienced we may use The Collaborative Helping Map to shift individualism towards collective action.

• I hold space to helps supervisee's shift from attending only to their own sense-making to the sense-making their client is making.

• I think about how I can use narrative ideas ‘in building upon preferred stories of being a therapist’ (Gershoni and Cramer, INJNTCW 2002 no. 4).

• We may draw on the work of Vikki Reynolds work on building a Solidarity Team for your practice or thinking about The Zone of Fabulousness in your work.

• Noticing which domain we are in: Domains of Action, Production and Explanation: and shifting between these aesthetically.

• We may lean on a useful meta framework to ensure high-quality relational reflexivity: Barry Masons Approach Method Technique (AMT) framework can help ensure epistemological and theoretical rigour, especially when integrating ideas from different ontological domains, and this can help to avoid uncritical eclecticism.

We may not know where we end up, but we will know which way we are heading! If you are interested in supervision about a person or family you are working with, please do get in touch!
