Reflection
​
Reflect on the process of developing leadership level knowledge, skills, and practices in this competency.
​
1. What has been especially impactful/meaningful/important to you personally and professionally?
What I have found meaningful professionally is the consultation model of Gerald Caplan. This is largely due to having similar circumstances of living in a community where Mental Health Services are limited. My small island of Grand Bahama with a population of 45,000 has 2 private practices with a therapist including myself. As strong as my desire is to help as many individuals as possible, the consultation model provides a way for this to occur.
Personally through the class of supervision and consultation, I have embraced the idea of supervision. Generally speaking, providing supervision is something that I have stayed away from; not wanting the responsibility of it. However, I have learned that it is something that is helpful and there are many models to suit my preference. The experience does not have to be one of hierarchy and power for both the supervisor and supervisee.
2. Describe an area of strength that you have developed while in the program in this area of competency. What is one way you plan to utilize this strength in your vocation?
​
There was an activity of recording a video with an individual for whom you would demonstrate supervision. This assignment actually allowed me to see that it is possible to create a healthy and safe supervisory relationship where discussions and constructive feedback can take place. A strength that I developed in this area is confidence in my abilities. I plan to utilize this strength through accepting the opportunities to provide supervision and not avoiding these situations.
3. Describe an area of challenge/growth opportunity in this area of competency. What is your plan to develop excellence in this area?
An area of challenge is providing complete and honest feedback while maintaining the safe space. As a counsellor, there is a tendency to focus on safety, building a rapport, these skills become second nature and in supervision it is important that both safety and constructive feedback are present. Supervision is designed for development and understanding this to a greater extent helps me with my resolve to always provide the complete story of feedback and not just some parts that are easier for the supervisee to digest.
4. Reflect on how faith in Christ relates to this competency.
Jesus Christ was the perfect example of truth embodied in Love. Throughout scripture as we follow his life, we see the manner in which he interacted with individuals; meeting them where they are at and offering truth with grace and mercy. This is truly a personal goal as I navigate the various facets of our counselling profession. In each competency, my aim is to model grace and truth. With supervision, I want to provide an unconditional loving space where individuals are motivated to grow thus being able to hear and apply the feedback.
