Reflective supervision and consultation (RS/C) pay attention to the influence of relationships on other relationships, commonly referred to as the parallel process. The goal of RS/C is to provide support for professionals that demonstrates the ways in which they, too, can create more effective and supportive relationships with other professionals and families. RS/C empowers the supervisor/supervisee or consultant/consultee dyad to form a reflective alliance in which exploration of ambiguity is supported; judgment and problem-solving are suspended; and emotions, thoughts, and behaviors are considered in relation to their work. This “holding space” can be a vehicle for the exploration and self-examination of one’s social location and points of intersectionality with respect to keeping the baby in mind, understanding the family story, and attending to one’s professional “use-of-self"—both of which require intentional and transparent attention. Explore the important components of RS/C, learn key skills associated with RS/C, and consider opportunities to integrate RS/C into your scope of work.
