Does your therapist get supervision

I did not not say that therapists do not speak about specific clients in supervision, of course they do. My point was that the emphasis is on the therapist's competency and approach (amongst other factors) rather than the client's stuff. You illustrate my point - the therapist sought supervision because she did not have necessary experience or knowledge to deal. That was her aspect, not C's (albeit prompted by C's circumstances).

Then I guess the bigger question I have about my T is what is he doing to continue to grow and learn? He doesn’t do supervision and he doesn’t teach. I have no idea if he reads or goes to conferences. I now notice that some other T’s address this briefly on their webpages which, to me, shows that they think it’s important. My T does not happen to mention on his webpage. I guess, for some reason, I want to know that he’s not complacent.

I see you are here in the USA....

your question does your therapist get supervision....

here in the USA treatment providers must go through supervision during their first 2 years of internship and then like with any other job in the USA when they are hired by a mental health agency they have to answer to their jobs person who is in a manager or supervisor position.

Example a teacher who is hired by a school has to have meetings with the principal, vice principal and other teachers sometimes.

a person that works at a hospital has an employer and a supervisor

a garbage collector has a main boss and a supervisor/ manager

a person who works for apartment complexes has a main boss and a supervisor / manager.

someone that works in a grocery store has their main boss and they have the supervisor of their store department.

my point is no matter what the job here in America there is always the main boss who hires a person and a supervisor / manager that over sees the employees.

that's just how its done here,

here in America a person can also have their own business for example my sibling has their own sewing crafts business.

therapists here in America can have their own mental health business where they are not supervised by any person in their business.

then theres a different kind of supervision here in America where businesses have to answer to state and federal "ethics boards"

examples ..

lawyers have to answer to the state bar (lawyers bar)
medical doctors have to answer to the medical board and the health department.

mental health treatment providers have to answer to the states board of clinical social workers. each state has their own. plus each county has a mental health ethics board.

if you are having a problem with your treatment providers where you feel they may be doing something wrong you can contact your areas mental health agency that over sees treatment providers in your area. they will open an investigation where you will need to give official testimony and evidence and contact the treatment provider. there will be an official hearing where you may have to attend (like a court date) and then if the treatment provider is doing wrong they will be consequenses for the treatment provider depending upon what happened. the least would be a fine and the most lose their credentials to work in mental health care in the state.
