March 2024 Clinical Supervision Topic: Therapeutic Alliance
The therapeutic alliance hinges on a few questions:
How am I relating to the client?
How are they relating to me?
How do we feel sitting with each other?
I’d like us to think of the therapeutic alliance through the lens of attachment theory this month.
Let’s check out this video of Dr. Jennifer Mullan who talks about how decolonizing therapy relates to attachment. Let’s also listen to this episode of the Psychiatry and Psychotherapy episode. Lastly, let’s talk about Undoing Aloneness, a concept coined by Diana Fosha. No pressure to listen to/watch all 3; just consume what you want and come join the fun!
