Supervision Session: Review of a Mentoring Video – September 2026
September 28, 2026
With Bill Plotkin, Ph.D.
All SAIPiens, please, if at all possible, video-record one or more sessions with one or more mentees. If you have a recording you feel would be valuable for all of us to look at (e.g., you have some questions about the dynamics of relationship or psyche or Earth-psyche at play in the session, or you feel that it illustrates a useful guide move or that there are one or more spots where you wish you had made a different guide move but maybe not sure what it might have been, etc.), then please send me the video and, if possible, include timestamps of the moments most important for me to look at. Then, I’ll pick one video for the whole group to review BEFORE September 28, so we all are familiar with the session when we start our group Zoom.
PLEASE SEND ME YOUR VIDEOS BY SEPTEMBER 18th AT THE VERY LATEST! Awesome. Thank you!
