From Stuck to Supportive
Rethinking Micromanagement in Supervision
Balancing support, autonomy, and accountability in supervisory relationships
Why This Training Matters
Supervisors often struggle to balance support with autonomy—especially when supervisees are anxious, inexperienced, or high-risk. This session examines micromanagement in supervision, why it happens, how it impacts supervisee development, and what to do instead. You will learn developmentally responsive strategies that promote growth without abandoning accountability.
Who Should Attend
You sometimes feel pulled between wanting to support supervisees and needing to closely monitor their work and want help finding a healthier balance.
You supervise newer clinicians or students and worry about “letting go” too soon or holding on to your rules too tightly.
You are an experienced supervisor who wants to refine your approach to autonomy, trust, and developmental progression in supervision.
In this live session you’ll…
- Describe about three aspects of how supervisee developmental level influences supervisory structure, support, and autonomy across stages of clinical growth.
- Recall around five signs of micromanagement and supervisory overcontrol, including the underlying factors that contribute to these patterns.
- Implement at least two developmentally responsive supervision strategies that promote supervisee growth while maintaining accountability and client safety.
