The Supervision Experience of Newly Qualified Therapists.

I am a fourth-year student undertaking an M.Sc. in Psychotherapy in Dublin City University and am currently conducting research as part of the course.

The title of my research is: Exploring the Lived Experience of Supervision for Newly Qualified Psychotherapists in Ireland: An Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis.

The study aims to gain insight into the experience of supervision for newly qualified psychotherapists in Ireland by exploring the themes that influence the supervision experience and gaining a greater knowledge of the influence of supervision on a therapist's professional development.

I am seeking participants who have a maximum of five years post-qualification experience and are currently in supervision. Participants do not need to have achieved full accreditation.

Participation would involve a one-hour, in-person or online interview.

In constellation workwe seek what strengthens us and what brings us to living more fully in the present.We work looking through the systemic lens and using the phenomenological methodology, in compassionate inclusion and without judgement, to see what has happened to block andstop love’s flow within our sacred families.

We meet intergenerational patterns of entanglements, divided loyalties and the open- hearted sacrifice of innocent children. Long term and intergenerational dynamicscome to light. This work has a delicate simplicity whose impact ripples widely. Our Souls can be moved when there is a place for ‘everything’ and ‘all’ are re-membered with love. Bert Hellinger’s life’s work continues to unfold healing movements in relationship at all levels.

The works inclusivity brings back together that which has been separated. Bert Hellinger calls that a movement of the Soul. We can see what is out of balance in ‘the give and take’ of our lives and we experience how it is when everyone is in the right place, when the order of things is in alignment. We translate from the language of the personality to the language of the Soul.

In Hellinger Sciencianew images and perspectives unfoldoften beyond the limits of the personality, they are attuned to the creative guiding force of life. Bert calls this The Spirit Mind or Tao.

The whole group is in service to life. If we are open and present, whether as client orrepresentative or as part of the essential holding group within which the work unfolds, we will find ourselvesdeeply moved. Our Personal issues can be touched in a profound way when we experience interconnectedness andhow love can flow.

Facilitator: Colette Green MA MIAHIP ICP

GESTALT INSTITUTE OF IRELAND CONFERENCE

Moving, Sensing, Feeling, Bodies: Renewing Hope in a Fracturing World
 When  14/15 October 2023 
 Where: Limerick, Ireland

‘Last remaining places available for an exciting conference’

Register here: WWW.GESTALT-INSTITUTE-OF-IRELAND-CONFERENCE.ORG

From our earliest years of life, it is through our bodies-in-relation to other bodies that we make sense of experience.  In an increasingly fracturing world affected by wars, climate crisis, and migration of people from their homelands, we will explore how our embodied knowing can permeate the relational situation to instill hope.

Building on these themes, our conference gathering aims to…

• Offer creative ways of paying attention to a moment by moment, movement by movement unfolding of our contacting with each other, attending to the embodied vitality of hope.
• Create a space to dialogue and explore, how our bodies are implicitly shaping, and being shaped by, relational possibilities.
• Explore what we can learn from adjacent disciplines about our embodied intuition of a fracturing field, moving and sensing before and beyond languaged experience.

This Conference will be of interest to Gestalt, Humanistic, Integrative Psychotherapists, Supervisors and students.

Our speakers will offer exciting provocations and embodied explorations for those of us interested to (re)turn home to our bodies, a moving emergent body that is of a relational situation and a field.

We hope you will join us in co-creating possibilities for renewal, restoration and hope in the midst of a fracturing world replete with pain.
