When a supervisee is struggling, how do you know whether sharing a little of your own experience will help?
Maybe they’re questioning their abilities.
Maybe a difficult client interaction shook them.
Maybe they’re sitting across from you with that familiar early-career look of, “Am I actually cut out for this?”
And for a second, you wonder: Should I share that I’ve been there too?
That kind of disclosure can sometimes normalize the experience, strengthen the supervisory relationship, and help the supervisee feel less alone.
But it can also shift the focus, blur the boundary, or turn into a detour if it is not handled carefully.
At The Skill of Self-Disclosure in Supervision live training, you'll learn from Khara Croswaite Brindle, MA, LPC, ACS, CFT, a practical framework for deciding when, why, and how to use self-disclosure in supervision.
You’ll also explore the risks, benefits, and real supervisory moments when self-disclosure may support supervisees through counselor development, imposter syndrome, transference, critical incidents, and career-altering experiences.

Decide when self-disclosure may support the supervisory moment, and when it may get in the way Use self-disclosure with more clarity, purpose, and professional judgment Strengthen rapport and validation without shifting the focus away from the supervisee Recognize common risks, including distraction, confusion, caregiving, and boundary concerns Model thoughtful self-disclosure so supervisees can better understand how to use this skill in clinical work Check how your disclosure landed instead of assuming the impact was clear
And so much more.
The truth is, self-disclosure doesn't have to be something supervisors avoid out of fear.
And it should not be something clinicians use without reflection.
With a clearer framework, supervisors can approach self-disclosure as a skill to assess, model, practice, and refine.
If you want a more intentional approach to using self-disclosure in supervision, this free training offers a practical starting point.
