December 2023 Clinical Supervision Topic: Expectations

Check out previous years here, including one of my favorite podcast episodes.

Expectations are one of the common factors of clinical work, especially therapy.

What do our skills around expectation management look like? Here’s an article studying how it can look in the first few sessions of CBT therapy.

Let’s consider the following:

• when do we know it’s time to check in on expectations?

• which client expectations are most helpful to gauge?

• what are your expectations of the typical course of care you provide?

• how do we make sure our clients’ and our own expectations are aligned?

• what do we do if expectations are misaligned?

Looking forward to exploring this with you soon.
