A workshop with Joan Wilmot and Paul Johnson
1 November 2024
10.00 – 16.30
Introduction: Exploring the elephant in the room. Shame is often defined as a painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by a consciousness of wrongdoing or inadequacy and can arise in various contexts within the supervision. Shame is a complex and deeply ingrained emotion that can significantly impact both supervisees and supervisors.
About the workshop: This workshop delves into the nuances of shame in supervision, exploring its manifestations, consequences and strategies for addressing it. For supervisees, this may stem from feelings of incompetence, fear of judgement or imposter syndrome. Conversely, supervisors may experience shame due to perceived failures in guiding their supervisees effectively of doubts about their own competency. In addition, we consider shame within the organisation, what happens to the workforce when the organisation is labelled as not being good enough?
