Introduction to Reigniting Clinical Supervision In-Depth Online Training Course

Reimagining clinical supervision to yield actual improvement in our work as psychotherapists.


Nothing matters more than seeing that you have created a real positive impact on another person.

If you are a clinical supervisor, you are in a powerful position to influence two groups of people:

1. Your Supervisees (Therapists), and

2. Clients.


Not only are you able to help your supervisees work through difficult and challenging cases, you are also a conduit to therapists' professional development.


Except that traditional clinical supervision has NOT improved client outcomes, and has not shown to actually help therapist improve in their work, despite self-reports of benefit from exchanges in traditional clinical supervision.


The Troubles We Find Ourselves In

Early Failures
I nearly dropped out of school.

I did so badly for my Primary 6 exams, and had to take an extra year in secondary school (high school). When I went to a polytechnic for my diploma in Business, I was nearly awarded an early "Ph.D." (I mean, a "poly halfway dropout") certificate because I was skipping classes so much. I just couldn't conform to "learning for the test" mentality. To my parents' surprise, when I did well in university—or even get in for that matter— I realised that I actually had a deep hunger for learning—when I began to design my own learning pace.

Learning at Your Own Pace
Our education system has conflated learning speed with learning ability, even though there is NO CORRELATION between these two factors (this is why the upcoming RCS course is designed to suit EVERYONE's preferred learning pace in a "drip by drip fashion, one idea at a time).

I couldn't conform to what an average student needs to be in order to succeed in an industrialised education system. Somehow, working and earning my masters at the same time suited me. Then I worked full time for some years, and then returning to do my doctorate—and working at the same time once again. This seemed to fuel my interest and fit my learning orientation.

Training in Psychotherapy
In my training as a psychotherapist, I received a wide array of guidance from different clinical supervisors. Some of them changed my life (For more about this, click here), others—frankly, I nearly got in trouble with, because of my dissatisfaction with dogmatic focus on models and not actual outcomes.

Even with supervisors that were really good, most of them provided a necessary individualised professional framework to scaffold and guide my learning needs across time. I was left to figure it out on my own. Most of the time, supervision was on a case-by-case discussion basis.

Meanwhile, our traditional teachings approach in post-graduate courses at large continue to bark up the wrong tree, obsessed with standardisation—the way Edward Thorndike took Frederick Taylor’s idea of standardisation to improve productivity in manufacturing industries, which permeated into our factories and education system. We pushed for adherence, competency, and treatment fidelity to specific treatment approaches, none of which amounted to much impact on improving client outcomes (Miller, Hubble, Chow, Seidal, 2013).


My Commitment
When I first began to supervise therapists, I make a few promises to myself:

1. TO BE CRITICAL WITHOUT CRITICISING;

2. TO BE SUPPORTIVE WITHOUT BEING PATRONISING;

3. TO STAY FOCUSED ON TRANSLATING TO BETTER OUTCOMES.

It was only later on that I added another pledge to my existing list:

4. TO HELP PRACTITIONERS DEVELOP AN INDIVIDUALISED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (Chow, 2017; Miller, Hubble, & Chow, 2017).

I began to work with supervisees who were beginning to share with me their stories of their past supervision experience. With the best of intentions, some supervisors were very supportive but were going in circles, others were critical and hurt them unknowingly.

Point #4 was crucial and particularly lacking. It only began to dawn on me in 2010 when I began my 4-year-long meditation on the implications of deliberate practice in psychotherapy for my doctoral piece (Chow, 2014).

It dawned on me that once a supervisee has a clear direction of WHAT to work on, that is, figure out the What before the How, the consequence is often better outcomes. (Do you notice how our profession is invested with our pet solutions, and less invested in solving the problem?) Plus, their clinical outcomes affirms their sense of real development, which in turn fuel the self-determination spark to get even better.


In other words, I want to not only help therapists with their challenging cases, I want to help therapist grow by becoming better therapists. If they design a better personalised architecture to support their ongoing development, they will get better results.

~~

Clinical supervision is often regarded as the highly integral to professional development. It is the “signature pedagogy” of choice in the field of psychotherapy.

Yet, recent evidence suggest that traditional supervision makes little or no impact on actual client outcomes (Rousmaniere, Swift, Babins-Wagner, Whipple, & Berzins, 2014). With all the expense on time, money, and effort, therapists and supervisors work so hard, but fail to translate this in the therapy room. This individualised course that can be taken at your own pace, is geared towards helping practitioners and supervisors reap actual benefits in a method of working in supervision.

Gleaning from the development of expertise in other professional domains, this course is those who are hungry to make an impact.

I will walk you through a step-by-step guide to assist supervisors and therapists in making a real impact on psychotherapists development, and more importantly, helping their clients reap the rewards.


Clinical Supervision should look less like this...


And more like this...



IMPORTANT:
This is a different way of clinical supervision. The focus is not on the methodology, but on the Goal. The Goal of supervision is to help practitioners get better.

Skeptical of Online Training?


I know many practitioners are resistant to the idea of online training platforms. I was one of them. Even though I would consider myself tech savvy, my experience of several online workshops were frankly, a poor substitute of live workshops. In such situations, live trainings were conducted and recorded, the material was then repurposed and sold for an online course. Other times, it was a recording of a live webinar where the trainer was speaking to a bunch of students, and again, the material was repurposed for an online training, leaving minimal or no possibility of asking questions or interaction with others.

Not all online trainings I've tried were bad though. Through my experimentation and trying to learn from others who were optimising online platforms to increase the depths of learning for individuals, I discovered that it is actually possible to design a learning platform with the primary intention of teaching the material online, without overwhelming an individual, and weaving in time for reflection, discussion, asking questions and applying the new ideas in their lives.

I value real-time face-to-face teaching (after all, I'm one of those who conduct workshops!). However, here's the key difference that I see between real-time training and online learning:

1. Real-time training/workshop is like a river.
It is a constantly flowing torrent of ideas. If the learner steps out of the river for a few minutes, or needs some time to think, he is now behind. The learner may be able to ask questions, but needs to constantly try and catch up and not fall behind. A chance for a revisit of the content after some time of reflection is not possible, with only the notes or slides that you've captured.

2. Online learning, on the other hand, is like a lake.
The learner can step in and out of the water at her own time, and pace herself as she move along; the water reminds the same. This stillness allows for pausing, revisiting the material, reflecting, and connecting with past knowledge. Online learning at its best allows for the learner to ask questions, revisit the materials, and for the person to master a particular difficult segment before moving on.
(note: The analogy of the river vs lake was borrowed from storyteller Matthew Dicks.)

I've had participants of workshops who first attended one of my workshops and who went on to join this in-depth online training. A few pieces of content overlapped, but they said to me, "I didn't realise that I didn't get it as much in the workshop the first time, compared to how I understand the material now from the online module."
Oh, and by the way, you do not need to be tech-savvy at all to navigate this course. If you know how to browse a website (which got you here anyway), chances are it is a non-issue benefiting from this course.
Still unsure? Take this for a test-drive. Preview some of the modules below. We also have a money-back guarantee with the Reigniting Clinical Supervision course. This is not meant to be gimmicky. I want you to feel how low the level of "risk" is actuallyy involved.

SPECIAL NOTE

Don't take it from me. Here's what therapists across the world are asking about their professional development:

(Note: these are actual questions discerning therapists raised in my workshops)


“Are we choosing the right areas to focus on growth in professional development?”

“Are our PD activities actually translating to improvement in our practice?”

“What should we actually focus on developing in order to actually improve?”

“What does “improving” mean?”

“Why is professional development activities (workshops, supervision, etc) not helping therapists improve?”

“If psychotherapist value and invest in PD, why is there NO improvement?”

“Does theoretical knowledge improve clinical practice?”

“Why do we continue to value efficiency over mastery?”


And here's the kicker:

“Why are we not improving?”


These questions are highly relevant. Not only do we answer the Whys, but in the Reigniting Clinical Supervision course, we will also spell out the What to work on to leverage improvement, and the How to go about doing so in a practical step-by-step guide.

You shouldn't always trust one source of information. Besides, I'm biased.

Here's what leading practitioners, trainers, and supervisors from different countries have to say about Reigniting Clinical Supervision:


"Reigniting Clinical Supervision certainly delivers what it promises - a very welcomed spark that engages and motivates you further in your path towards professional development.

The course has helped me in a fascinating way. It has help me both see the bigger picture and at the same time become aware of the small parts of the process that leads to the big picture. This highly self-reflective and self-transforming drip-by-drip way of learning has provided me with continuous insights and an eagerness to transform my learnings straightaway into useable actions.

The powerful visualizations used in this course has tapped into my creativeness and a lot of new, unexpected ideas have emerged through that.

In our field there is so much you can improve, but the course has helped to narrow the focus down to the things that really matter to clients. The video material allows you to go back, rewind and refine your learnings and customize them in to different settings.

Daryl has a very welcoming, generous and personalized style as an instructor and provides you with motivating and thought awakening comments throughout the course. Daryl’s way of combining ideas and theories across different fields is brilliant and very inspiring.

I highly recommend the course to anyone interested and invested in professional development as a supervisor or self-supervision."

~ Heidi Nygård-Michelsson

Project manager (for implementation of FIT) and ICCE Certified FIT trainer
Crisis Counsellor at Crisis Center for Youth, HelsinkiMissio

~~~

"While I was quite familiar with many of the underlying ideas and the research base that underlie Daryl’s course, having done the FIT intensive with him and Scott Miller 18 months ago in Chicago, I was quite surprised that almost every session seemed to present an ahaa moment where I realised there was something new that I needed to focus on or remind myself.

... I especially liked the drip feed nature of the delivery. This let me grab as much new information as I wanted at any point in time, reflect on and consider that and ask questions or discuss when that seemed useful, before moving on to another chunk of information and ideas.

... An almost perfect balance amongst presentation of the research basis, the conceptual big picture ideas and the more micro,hands on, how to do it elements; and it provided something that I could apply, not only in my supervision practice but also in my work with clients and my teaching and mentoring of clinical students.
I highly recommend the course to all counsellors, therapists, supervisors and managers in the behavioural health arena.

~ Brent Gardiner,

Programme Leader, Master of Counselling Studies, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand.


~~~

"No matter where you are in your journey as a therapist or supervisor, I found the online course Reigniting Clinical Supervision to be extraordinarily helpful.
It is full of practical and thought provoking approaches brought forward in a measured way to improve a therapist's overall performance.
The course has improved my self-awareness
in a number of areas where I can grow as well as a plan for this future growth.
As there is so much useful and timeless information I will be revisiting Reigniting Supervision time and time again."


~ Bob Beckwith, Registered Psychotherapist, Canada

~~~

"Reigniting Clinical Supervision is an insightful combination of self-reflection, use of Feedback-Informed Treatment concepts, and supervisory tools that have impacted the way I provide supervision and direct counseling services.

While some of the content is a repeat from what I already knew of FIT, the RCS course shed light on the self of the therapist and the challenge of deliberate practice. I appreciated the drip format and interactions with other participants. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wishes to have improved supervisee and client outcomes through enhanced delivery of services."


~ Thea Vondracek, MA, LMFT, LPCS, Certified FIT Trainer.

"Tools for improving our practice handed to us on a plate: I’m really enjoying and appreciating Daryl’s reigniting supervision course. His approach is friendly, clear, open and inviting. I’ve grown to look forward to his email in my inbox each Monday and Friday, not just for the content, but for the warmth Daryl brings to my day.

The drip feed process is really great, as I find there’s time to digest, and the small amount of content means it’s easy to fit into everyday life. Daryl’s explanations are very clear. He uses the research succinctly with lovely metaphors, making a clear case for what he's teaching. Although I was already using feedback informed therapy, the review was great. The taxonomy of deliberate practice is a fabulous piece of work, and the guidance on the best way to use it is priceless.

This is a great course as Daryl has the ability to make things clear and simple, as well as practical and relevant. It’s helped me get clear in my mind about effective and realistic ways to keep monitoring and improving my practice and client outcomes.

It’s saved hours of my own research in this area, meaning I've been able to get straight into identifying the areas of my practice to work on that will make the biggest difference to client outcomes, as well as my enjoyment in my work. It's really great knowing that I'll be using my precious time in the wisest way I can! This is a highly cost-effective course, and Daryl's sincerity and natural personal style makes it a real pleasure to be part of.

~ Dr. Jeanette Spencer, medical practitioner, New Zealand.

"It was one of the most informative, engaging and well presented PD’s I’ve been to.” - Psychologist, VIC.

~~

"I've enjoyed your enthusiasm....inspiring." - anonymous, counsellor.

~~

"It made me critically examine my practice and inspired me to engage in deliberate practice and use the activities worksheet so I can be more effective with my clients. It also made me think about my practice as a supervisor and how I can make supervision a more useful experience for my supervisees. I have already begun to put some of the things I have learned into practice and reports from supervisees suggest that they have found the process a lot more powerful since implementing those changes." - Venessa, psychologist, WA.

You will have a LIFETIME ACCESS. After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own. (note: you can download the app TEACHABLE to access this course on the go. Special: This means that you will also have full access to all new updates for this course.
What are the bonus materials?
Here's the list of bonus features you will automatically receive when you are signed up to this course: 1. 1hr individual consult with me once you've completed the course (worth $250!); 2. A Step-by-Step Roadmap to Excellence (only available to those who attend my workshops); 3. Access to all articles referenced in this course; 4. An electronic copy of my latest book, First Kiss: Undoing the Traditional Intake Model and Igniting Engagement in the First Sessions of Psychotherapy; 5. Huge discounts for future courses; 6. ... and MORE!
Do I have to log in at specific times to access the materials?
Absolutely not. This course can be consumed at your own pace, as an email reminder will be sent to you to unlock each module on a weekly basis. Reigniting Clinical Supervision will commence on 17th of Sept 2018. This is not like other courses you might have participated in a live webinar where the trainer comes online and talks to a group of you. (And remember, and the end of the course, you will receive a bonus feature for a one-on-one consult worth $250!)
What are the formats available for this course? Is it just videos?
This course is designed to be MULTI-MEDIA in the truest sense. You can 1. watch the videos (w subtitles) 2. download and listen to the video/audio on the go, or 3. read the transcripts.
I'm very keen to sign up for this course, but I can't afford the full fee.
Totally understandable. Which is why I've created the option for you to sign up by an installment method of $139 over 4 payments.
What if I have questions along the way? Is this course interactive?
I hope that you do, because questions help sharpen our thinking. Feel free to add your queries or reflections to our comments section made available at the bottom of each module. Alternately, you can email your questions directly to me [email protected] . I do encourage you to "think-aloud" through the process of this course, as it will not only benefit you, but also others who are in the same journey as you.
I am not a clinical supervisor, but a practitioner in psychotherapy? Will I benefit from this course?
Yes. You can use the principles taught in this course to apply to your own work in getting results. That said, the role of a coach/supervisor is HIGHLY CRITICAL for real professional development, which is why I created this course in the first place. If you do not have a supervisor, I can put you in touch with others who can be of guidance to you (like those who complete this course!). If you do have a clinical supervisor, you can recommend them to sign up to this course, so that both parties are on board the same boat.
Is this course all about the use of measures in therapy?
No. While routine outcome measurement precedes individualised professional development, Reigniting Clinical Supervision course is designed to take you a step further than measuring outcomes.
Will I get overwhlemed like other workshops and online courses?
This course was created with a large amount of care and forethought, grafting the best learinng principles to help you in the learning process, and making it as dynamic and flexible as possible to accommodate your learning preferences. Using a "drip" model approach, which means you will be notified twice week to work through one new module. We have specifically designed it this way, as we are well aware that you are likely a busy practitioner and/or supervisor. The last thing we want to do is to add to your overwhelm! That said, some of you might like to "binge learn" the entire course in a few sittings. You can do so once the course has ended in a few months time. That said, I do not recommend waiting til the end of the course, as it does not allow you enough time to actively reflect and apply the learnings (each module is made to deliver to you one key VALUABLE idea)
I'm a supervisor and I would love for my supervisees to benefit from this materials too. How do I get them on board to "Reigniting Clinical Supervision" course?
Brilliant. You are thinking beyond yourself, and what others that you work with to share the same vision—"SUPERvision"! You can give your supervisees a discount code SUPERVISEE, which would not only allow them to access this material, but they get a whooping 37% discount! (As you can see, this discount code is based on a trust system).
When does the course start and finish?
The fifth batch starts on 21st of Jan 2019...and it never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish. That said, given that the course is dripped to you every Monday and Friday, it will take approximately 5-6 months for the completion of the contents in the course. Not only can you continue to engage in the content thereafter, you can also chat with me and the others in each of the modules. People join for the content, but often stay for the community.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 30 days and we will give you a full refund.
How do I access the bonus materials for this course?
You will be given clear instructions on how to download the bonus materials at the end of this course. Stay tuned
How are the course materials delivered to me?
Great question. Starting from 21st of Jan 19, you will be notified each week to work through one of the modules. We have specifically designed it this way, as we are well aware that you are likely a busy practitioner and/or supervisor. The last thing we want to do is to add to your overwhelm!
What if I'm not sure if this course is for me?
Not a problem. I'm aware that this is not for everyone. You don't have to be tech savvy to benefit from this course, but you certainly need to be committed to helping clinicians get better results. Take a look at the preview materials first. After that, you still have the 30-day money back guarantee.
