Supervision Relations: Stories and Experiences

[Absurd]

Well, everything I write is intentional, no unintentional faux pas there.

Anyhow, for supervision examples (real ones?) you need few willing participants that are going to paint a story of them supervising and how they have been supervised, right? Right.

That means 16 different sociotypes sharing their stories.

Let's say you volunteered already with that comment of yours dealing with your supervisors, great. I think you said you self-type EII, great.

Maritsa self-types EII too and her "story" is completely different from yours, not so great.

As for the theory to which labcoat alluded - somebody must be wrong.

Relations of Supervision can give the impression that Supervisor is constantly watching every step of the Supervisee. The latter usually feels this control even if the Supervisor does not say or do anything. The explanation for this is that the Supervisee weak point is defenceless against the Supervisor's strong point. This makes the Supervisee nervous and expect the worse.

Although the Supervisor can seem self-satisfied, petty, faultfinding and narrative, the Supervisee pays attention to their actions and considers the Supervisor as consequential. The Supervisee normally wants to gain recognition and commendation from the Supervisor. However, it may seem like the Supervisor always undervalues the abilities of the Supervisee. This stimulates the Supervisee into proving their own worthiness with various actions, yet there is little chance that they will succeed.

The Supervisor sees the Supervisee as quite interesting and capable, but incomplete and therefore in need of some help and advice. The Supervisee does not respond to this aid as expected and this will often increase the Supervisor's attempts to change the Supervisee. Because the Supervisee naturally does not understand what it is that the Supervisor wants from them, this may irritate the Supervisor, who thinks that the Supervisee simply does not want to understand.

In relations of Supervision it may also appear as if the Supervisor patronises the Supervisee, which can be quite obtrusive for the latter. When there are more than two people present, the Supervisee often attempts to release themselves from the control of the Supervisor by starting arguments for the sake of it or by attempting to manoeuvre themselves into the commanding position. Unfortunately, these attempts lead nowhere. The Supervisor may think instead that the Supervisee simply requires more attention.

Even when one takes into account this type of relations is called something different in Mother Russia, for I've seen labels like 'audit' thrown around, there must be an 'auditee.'
