ABSTRACT
In addition to seeking supervision, we recommend that you engage in self-supervision. This can take the form of listening to recordings of your therapy sessions while using a self supervision inventory such as the one found in the appendix of Wessler and Wessler. Additionally, Wessler has found it helpful periodically to transcribe a randomly selected REBT session and to evaluate each of my responses in terms of my intentions and skill level. Wessler pay particular attention to how Wessler could have phrased my responses more skilfully. This intense microanalysis of a therapy session is time-consuming and cannot be done regularly. However, it reveals important information about skills deficits, gaps in knowledge, poorly considered strategies, etc. Whenever Wessler undertake this analysis, it is quite a humbling experience. However, Wessler occasionally recognize that Wessler am not such a bad REBT therapist after all! Such transcripts can also be used as a basis for supervision from a more experienced REBT colle.
