Engaging in reflective practice helps us to understand our thoughts, feelings, actions, and reactions in any given situation. It is in this ongoing reflection that we gain insight, self-awareness, and the ability to shift perspective. When we engage in reflective supervision in our work, we have the opportunity to have someone hold space for us to deconstruct an experience/situation so that we can understand ourselves and others more clearly. As professionals who engage in relationship-based work, this process is essential.

Join Mara Brenner as she talks about the value of reflective practice, the process of reflective supervision, the difference between reflective and administrative supervision (and the combination of the two) and how reflection is a parallel process in our work with families.
