Level 2 builds on the teachings of Level 1 to apply the transformative aspects of a strength-based approach to supervision and positive art therapy. Together we will examine compassion fatigue, and burnout, in the context of developing resiliency. You’ll be invited to explore metaphoric and arts-based approaches to transference, counter transference, and projective identification. The goal of Level 2 is to deepen your understanding of theory in relationship to practice.
In this workshop series, you’ll get the chance to:
- develop a theoretical practice as an art therapy supervisor
- increase your skills in cultural humility and creating cultural safety in supervision
- demonstrate a relational approach to supervision, framed in an ecological context, and including the seven-eyed model.
- experience and learn strategies for arts-based supervision, including response art, post-session art and supervision art invitations.
- apply the transformative aspects of a strength-based approach to supervision and positive art therapy
- explore compassion fatigue, burnout, in the context of developing resiliency
- explore metaphoric and arts-based approaches to transference, counter transference, and projective identification
- increase self awareness of professional strengths and areas for growth
- learn best practices for online art therapy and supervision\
