One of the key tenants in coaching supervision is using ‘self as instrument”. This requires the supervisor to develop somatic awareness of their own body sensations and have the ability to articulate this awareness to create curiosity in the other. In supervision, we not only maintain our presence on the client, we also allow our own presence and humanity to come through us as we assist the practitioner to develop and grow.
Sensations of discomfort and pleasure are very similar. It is the narrative about these sensations that produce opening or constriction.
