Rethinking the Term “Supervision” and the Problem with Modern Views on Self-Care

Clinical Supervisor Natalie Jack joins the podcast for a wonderful discussion about her professional evolution, as well as the role of supervision in the Allied Health community as a whole. She speaks about her beginnings as a Musical Therapist, the value of good supervisions, clinical supervision as a new graduate, and mental health first aid training programs. You’ll also hear Natalie share her thoughts on why the term “supervision” should be renamed, and a piece on ego and dependency between the supervisor and supervisee. Natalie also talks in-depth about her observations on wellness and mental health in the Allied Health industry, including empathy vs. compassion, burnout, and self-care. Topics covered on looking at supervision differently, ego and dependency in the supervisor-supervisee relationship, and mental health:  Why supervision should be renamed to “supported reflective practice”, challenging and overcoming the assumption that supervisors should be older and more experienced, and resetting people’s expectations of supervision.  How to make sure the person being supervised doesn’t become dependent on the supervisor, being mindful and understanding, and always being open to learning something herself as a supervisor.  The differences between empathy and compassion, understanding empathy fatigue and burnout, facilitating the shift to committing to mental health and wellness, and rethinking self-care and how it’s becoming commercialised.   Connect with Natalie Jack  Visit Natalie’s Website   Connect with Natalie on Facebook   Connect with Natalie on LinkedIn   Connect with Natalie on Instagram  Other resources mentioned:   Compassion training for Healthcare workers   Connect with Nacre Consulting:   Join the Accelerator Mastermind   Complete the Allied Health Biz Quiz   Let’s connect on Instagram   Follow us on Facebook   Let’s connect on LinkedIn
