28.04 Supervision
Supervision for beginners and practicing gestalt therapists is a support, professional development, and a decrease in the risk of professional burnout.
During supervision, the supervisor analyzes the work of the Gestalt therapist, during which he receives feedback from a more experienced colleague. As a result, the therapist can see a more complete picture of his work, understands the causes of difficulties, learns the strengths and weaknesses of his work, and can also find ways of further therapeutic work.

Supervision is a professional form of support and development for the therapist, during which they discuss their work with a more experienced colleague (a supervisor) in order to gain a deeper understanding of the processes taking place in interaction with clients.
“Supervision is like a mirror and a compass for the therapist.”
It helps to “check yourself” and notice what may remain outside of awareness in daily practice.
