About this listen

In this solo episode of Supervision Smorgasbord, Dr. Tara Sanderson shares a personal story about falling into the "fix it trap" during a supervision session and explores the impact this has on supervisee growth. She discusses how over-functioning as a supervisor can create dependency, contribute to burnout, and reinforce the idea that therapists must always have the answer. Dr. Tara Sanderson introduces the "rule of three"—a practical technique involving three discovery questions—to help supervisors facilitate reflection and learning rather than immediately offering solutions. She also talks about the Supervision Smorgasbord journal, designed to help supervisors develop greater self-awareness and intentionality in their practice.
