What makes pulsation supervision different from other supervision spaces? Supervision is for Eastern medicine practitioners, somatic workers and for psychotherapists/counsellors and therapists that are in a caring profession. Supervision is offered for those that see people individually, in different configurations and in group work. Supervision is with a trauma informed, body psychotherapist, group facilitator and Chinese medicine acupuncturist of over 20 years. Supervision isn't based purely around performance and problem-solving. It is a humanistic, body focused somatic supervision. Supervision uses an eastern medicine and radix body psychotherapy growth works framework, which is a holistic in its approach. Supervision is focused on new awareness being experientially experienced Its orientated towards personal growth and the processing of outdated modes of being and the integration of trauma and unhelpful body stories that form core beliefs about ourselves and others.  The focus being in trauma work that the practitioners own body needs to become a safe body as a start point to working with trauma in another's body. Supervision is focused on embodiment, presence, contact, and awareness of unconscious becoming more conscious. The defended and invisible to us becoming softer and more visible. Supervision looks at both the capacity to 'feel' and to have 'purpose' in the practitioner/therapists/facilitator life. In pulsation supervision, we incorporate movement, sounding, visualisation imagery and breath work and there is an emphasis on eye work. Supervision is relational with pulsation supervision. Supervision focuses on practitioner aliveness, the body as process and trust in the unfolding nature of the organism in making life enhancing choices and ways of being. Supervision places more emphasis on right brain dominance, in feeling, intuition, the relationship between client/practitioner and the therapeutic space. Supervision looks at creativity and the ability to adapt. Supervision includes social justice issues that includes difference and diversity. In pulsation supervision you will be encouraged to flow, to soften to trust and to connect deeply with yourself. In reflection you will be encouraged to relate to yourself compassionately and without judgement as you explore and come to new awareness. Pulsation supervision offers support and care towards you as central to the work together and looks at finding ways that you can receive this care and support more.

Pulsation supervision seeks to offer a space for reflecting on all aspects of your work and is a space that is: Confidential Inclusive Caring Compassionate Non-judgemental Supportive Embodied and present Alive to Trauma informed Regulated with a regulated and responsive nervous system Professional Safe Ethical ​Respectful Trusting in process Accountable Knowledgeable  Relational Felt Growth focused Body orientated Supervision is a structured space, that is held and orientated to your best interest, whilst keeping high professional standards and a personal and professional growth mindset. A safe space to be open, be reflective, vulnerable and to explore with another safe heart and pair of hands. Pulsation supervision offers a supervision that allows for a relationship with another that is aware of your learning edges, tendencies, character, defences and things that you are more unconscious and blinded to. In working with embodiment, presence and feeling more of what was previously unavailable and unconscious becomes available and conscious to you, which allows for more adaption and creativity more choice in whatever challenge you are exploring. ​ A space that we can get curious together, explore and grow new awareness around many aspects of your work and personal growth. ​ An environment that offers a place for sharing challenges, fears, hopes, and for recognising what you already do. ​ Supervision is non-hierarchical and seeks to empower rather than elevate the position of the supervisor. Supervision that builds on your confidence. ​ Supervision that grows greater embodied capacity, presence and deeper ways of relating. ​ Pulsation supervision takes place with a certified Radix body psychotherapy and growth works therapist and Chinese medicine acupuncture practitioner, who has over 20 years of experience running private practice, being a senior lecturer of points energetics and incorporating practical skills throughout a BSc degree course in Acupuncture. Who has experience of working with apprentices, mentees and supervisees, and experience in running and facilitating groups, workshops and courses.

How might supervision look with pulsation supervision? Supervision with pulsation supervision can take different shapes and is led by what is both supportive and useful, it can be short term or long term and can be within a group and or individually in 1-1 sessions, sessions can take place online or in person. I live in Southwest Cornwall and all in person sessions are held in my clinic in Penryn and all in person group work is local to that in Penryn, Redruth, Falmouth, Helston or Truro. I offer a free 30 minute consultation with potential new supervisees to meet with me, and to feel into, get to know and to provide a space to ask questions that allows for you to make conscious and informed choice as to whether Pulsation supervision and work with me is right for you and is what you seek as a supervision space. Often it is useful to try the groups or a few sessions out and to see, this is welcomed and encouraged. All supervisees whether they are entering the groups or working with me individually or find both group work and individual sessions useful to them, will begin work together by being asked to complete and return a booking form and a series of questions about themselves, that include information about their backgrounds, their circumstances at present, their feeling history, their hopes about our work together, and a history of experiences that have shaped and affected them. This allows for a deeper sense of knowing between us and allows for the work we get to, to be useful and to deepen. This is usually send out when expression of interest is made via email, or after we have spoken together, and is returned via email, your information is confidential and will not be shared. If this is helpful to be done with me then it can be done as an individual session, where we meet and discuss the questions together. Both individual sessions and group work will be predominantly experiential in nature, we will work in a variety of different ways as a  larger group, within smaller groups and in pairs in both the online and in person groups. Group sessions can all be very different but they all will include a body check in, some kind of appropriate to the group warm up, to encourage and enable a deeper embodiment, presence and contact that also deepens the groups capacity to feel and to relate authentically. The work will include being relational, will include breathwork, movement and often sounding to re-establish pulsation. Sessions will include eye work, the eyes are an important part of Radix work and allow integration and for felt expression to be seen and expressed to another and to be released out of the body. Within all the groups, whether they are online or in person, they are kept small with a maximum of ten participants, this allows for everyone to have time and to experience what we are working with in session, with space for integration.  Within groups you will be asked to swap roles, you will experience both roles, in some you will be the one working, and in some you will be asked to support another's work, this increases our capacity to be with emotional and potentially uncomfortable material, and increases our experience and awareness of ourselves in different situations and with different people. It also helps those who are new to feeling work to experience feeling something and increase the tolerance of experiencing that feeling, to move from some of the taboos that have been placed around expression of feeling within us. You will learn the difference between feeling a feeling and acting upon that feeling. Working with our processes and another's process increases our robustness and capacity to be comfortable with what to most is uncomfortable because of societies restriction around feeling process, you will learn to be available and present and to allow for, without having to do anything with it. The pair work allows for us to move in and out of the work, being the worker one minute and the support for another's work the next. We learn to deepen into and to come out of the work as is necessary in every day life, we learn to do this in a softer way that allows for a wholeness and awareness of experience to continue within us. In groups we may work with a particular theme/group field that is occurring, we might focus on support, boundaries, presentness, expression, resourcing, self-contact, contact with another, aliveness, trauma, touch, informed consent are some examples of things the group work and individual work will explore. There are no individual session or group work session that looks the same, but all have a shape that allows for: ​ Landing with each other and the space Checking in with each other Coming into the body which can mean encouraging different things for different people/groups We will use the breath  Sound and expression with the body is sometimes worked with and encouraged You will be encouraged to be present and to notice when that isn't possible You will be encouraged into contact with yourself in different ways, and into relationship with me in different ways. You will be encouraged to notice and feel. We may work with something that is alive and present and here to work with that is unfolding, or we may work with something specifically that you came in with, or work on a theme, an area of inquiry. We will work together to re-establish your pulsation and flow in your body, to become more aware and to have greater access to previously unconscious material. Interventions, exercises may be placed/offered for you to explore, to increase opportunity of new awareness.  We will work slowly, following your aliveness, staying present and with the work. Throughout you will be encouraged to track yourself, to grow curious, to do things differently, to maintain a non-judgement of yourself, and other (if in a group). We will then spent time together at the end, integrating the work, often speaking to what has come up, what new awareness have taken place and attaching meaning where it is possible to in differing ways and relating its relevancy for your work. Over time together in supervision our work will deepen, what we get to will unfold as and when its ready and what is important or focused upon will change over time. With supervision you will gain valuable insight into yourself, become more aware and conscious of defences, things that you are blinded to, get to know your tendencies, your patterns, your core beliefs about yourself and about your relationship with others, you will increase your capacity to tolerate and be with feeling, and to learn how trauma is held within the body. How this relates to your work and practice the challenges that are present gain clarity as we see our supervision space as a place to explore humanity, and that every part weaves through the whole.

Why have supervision? ​ Work as a health practitioner, therapist or group facilitator can be challenging and demanding, we are often self-employed, we hold and process often difficult and uncomfortable emotional content, we are busy in our lives and in our practices not just if we are established by numbers of people we see, but because there is so much information gathered, retained for working use, and practice to remember especially if we are a new practitioner, who is also having to remember and negotiate so many other elements in those first months. Being resourced and sustainable and not viewing your practice in relations to another person's practice is a good place to start, they are completely different, they will have different histories, resource, energy, learning edges/growth edges, experiences to you. It is important that you look after your own health and well-being, learn about yourself as well as your profession.  Learn what works for you and why and continue to make choices that allow for the needs you have and providing a professional, safe, therapeutic space/modality for your clients/patients. Regular supervision can provide a supportive environment enabling you to reflect on your practice and discuss any concerns, which can help alleviate workplace pressures, such as anxiety, stress, and burnout. It can also improve confidence and job satisfaction, by reflecting on achievements and affirming areas of positive practice. ​ Why you might seek supervision with pulsation supervision . You might seek pulsation supervision if you are over or under challenged at work, that you feel your work is not connected with you, that you lack a feeling of purpose or that you are not moving and growing, your practice might have become stuck, unalive and lacking in inspiration. If you are over challenged which often feels overwhelming and anxiety inducing, vulnerable making and exposing, then pulsation supervision can be a great way to support you in managing these feelings and if necessary looking at strategies to reduce this feeling and processing them. If you are a new practitioner, changing the way you work then pulsation supervision can help support creative ways of enhancing competence, confidence, develops skills, knowledge, awareness through reflective and embodied practice. Often pulsation supervision sees those that do things unusually, they work in a way that often doesn't have experience and relatability in supervision, my experience of somatic work, group facilitation, work with processing and deepening felt expression, in process work and Chinese medicine, allows for a capacity to give supervision for somatic practices, body work, trauma informed practices and many health practices with a fresh lens. Ensures ethical practice, ensures safety, ethical standards and accountability. Supports emotional wellbeing and allows for emotional content to be processed and experiences integrated. Facilitates professional development Reduces burnout by processing and by noticing early where changes are needed. Identifies learning gaps and supports continuing professional and personal development. Fosters a feeling of being supported. Enhancing a person’s practice by reflecting and reviewing their work Improves work environment and culture Increased quality of care delivery. Supervision can safeguard and raise practice standards, by reflection on challenging areas of your work which can help identify issues early on and discuss actions to resolve these. Supervision can also help to improve communication, collaboration and teamwork, which can contribute towards increased quality of care and outcomes and increased job satisfaction. Keeping knowledge and skills up to date and relevant to your scope of practice is crucial to ensure you continue practising safely and effectively. It is also an important part of meeting our standards of conduct, performance and ethics. Provides you with time and space to reflect on your work, identifying things that have gone well, and areas that could potentially improve on, from a position of compassion and care. It can help you learn from your mistakes, put things right, and avoid repeating them in the future, which in turn can increase your confidence and lead to improvements in better provision. Practitioners/facilitators/therapists seek pulsation supervision when they are looking for work that looks at both personal and professional, that allows for a deepened understanding and awareness of you. Pulsation supervision work on embodiment in the supervision space and in a body orientated focus attracts those that work with and on other peoples bodies, it takes in to consideration and awareness the healing and ethics of touch beyond what is usually discussed in therapeutic settings. The therapeutic relationship, social justice issues, the unconscious, feeling work and supervision as personal growth. Pulsations supervision is sought when you are looking for something more from supervision than the surface left brain supervision that is currently on offer. When you are looking for a supervision that looks at growth work, personal work, embodied experience and trauma processing as being an essential component of supervision work, not instead of but part of the technics and expertise that supervision is currently focused on. Through personal work, the rest follows.
