Abstract

Chapter 3 provides clinical supervision activities and interventions focused on overcoming comfort and fragility through unlearning privilege and domination. This chapter contains five anti-oppressive clinical supervision interventions. In this chapter, readers will explore a spectrum of anti-oppressive interventions developed by interdisciplinary experts with extensive anti-oppressive supervision experience. These interventions encompass various supervision formats, modalities, and supervisee developmental levels. Each intervention is designed to be adaptable, allowing for customization based on specific needs and desired outcomes within professional contexts. Supervisors are encouraged to align these interventions with their guiding developmental, process, and psychotherapy-based supervision models while integrating anti-oppressive aims to enhance application and praxis in supervision. This chapter presents five distinct interventions designed to enhance supervisory practice: Love it-Hate it: Establishing intra-and inter-personal processes to overcome comfort and fragility and unlearn privilege and domination in triadic supervision, Incorporating Cultural Humility Guidelines, Supervisee Version, into the Supervision Relationship, Sociocultural Fragility Mapping, Being Real: Giving Space to Process Internalized Oppression and Privilege in Supervision, and Unveiling Dominant Culture.
