FEEDBACK AND MORE

2023
Participant in Life Staging  2 day workshop 

"I'm contacting you because I did my first Life Staging today. Soooo much fun. Certainly not 100%, but a continuation of what I started with you. I had loaded sooo for last week's supervision, so it was canceled. Now finally the first one is done and many more are coming. This was a group that had been somewhat negative about supervision and said from the beginning that they did not want anything strange. Now I said, now we are so safe together and if it feels like you can trust me, we will try something new together.

The conversation after the interview with the supervisee was very nice, we got into topics that were difficult to reach."

My Romanian Colleague Ovidiu Gavrilovici: "Setting up a scene for experiences, for relationships with experiences, and relating in the complexity of the group with experiences. What an intense meaning-making space! Putting at work narrative principles, securing safe spaces for exercising freedom. Thank you Elisabet! A dialog between me and Ovidiu about Life Staging can be seen on my You Tube channel! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwb6i0sjYWbdXDbFIkMt1Ww!

Feedback from my colleague Art Therapist Daniella Bassis in Israel after participating in a Life Staging® half day workshop online at AGPA during the pandemic: "It is a holistic approach in non-verbal and verbal way that is very meaningful and enhances the group experience as everyone thought we were in zoom. I agree with you Dan that the workshop should be redone. I think everyone can benefit from the experience individually and professionally".

Feedback from participant after workshop in Life Staging® 

"Now I have finally tried it! There was an almost "hallelujah" atmosphere (don't get me wrong). Those who participated were completely shocked at how the group captured the dilemma and the manner of the people. I had been dreading giving the instructions, but as you guided me to thinking that I am doing it my way and it will give/open up something. Which was really true. So again, thank you for both the training but also the guidance. It was empowering on a personal level as well" (Participant ws 2017).

SUPERVISION FROM AN ARTISTIC ANd NARRATIVE METAPHOR- a new book coming soon

After many years of experience as a supervisor I found myself less vitalized by hearing endless verbal descriptions, explanations and understandings of families and phenomena. I felt an urge to develop a format that could provide more vitality and movement, unexpected reflections, more of co-creation and emotional focus. Influenced by narrative and social constructionist ideas, narrative research and expressive formats I found words and tools to do so. The format has developed during the last ten years and started off as supervision in the dark, influenced by concepts as "the not-knowing- position" together with an insight in how professionals engage in the co-production of inscribing families and phenomena in thin stories. Through art, psychodrama and family constellations I got metaphors, a language and tools to bring forward the presence of non-verbal information, feelings and personal expression in the supervision group. The format takes us away from dominant knowing, seeing and hearing and invites professionals to listen and act on multiple voices and see beyond dominant prejudices. The format has an overall philosophy on which I’m writing a book about supervision. And probably, there will be another book about psychosocial work from the same philosophical perspective.
