My mother is my supervisee (she's LSE, I'm ILI). Our relationship has always been a roller coaster. I used to be so hard on her and call her out on her weaknesses. She even got sick when things were at their worst between us.

Now that I'm aware of socionics and our ITR I am super careful with her. I know that she needs to hear that she's a good person but how else can I make her feel more at ease and less stressed. (Her illness may come back under stress). I'm working on increasing the distance (buying my own house).

I say hi mom, bye mom and I sometimes wonder should I engage in more conversation or will this increase pressure? Do I stay away as much as possible or does she need me to engage?

Supervisees, how does/could your Supervisor put you more at ease? Do you want them to stay away?
