If you've had a not so great supervisor at any point in your mental health career, you know that it makes everything much much harder. This video is part one and an intro to the series where I react to bad supervisor stories and tell you what I would do in these situations.

While I'm not YOUR clinical supervisor (hence the channel name), I deeply believe everyone should have the knowledge, tools, and answers to their questions to ensure they are having the best supervision experience they can have.

Nothing said in this video is in replacement of good clinical supervision or should be considered a clinical recommendation. Talk to your supervisor first always!
