Practice Scenario 4: Doris
Doris is a Peer Specialist in a psychiatric inpatient unit. You are new to the role of supervising Peer Specialists. Doris wants you to know she trusts you, so she starts to go into detail about her history and personal life. In the beginning, she explains it is a part of her recovery story and she thinks it is important for you to know her background. But before long, you get the feeling that she is telling you her history because she was getting “free” therapy from her previous supervisor. As Doris’ supervisor, what would you do?- Create a new post with your response to "As the supervisor, I would..." (taking into account what you learned from the course faculty)
- Review at least 3 postings from others in the class
- Respond to at least 1 posting from someone else in the class with additional thoughts about the posting.

As a supervisor I'd offer appreciative statement, provide supportive supervision including exploring past use of supervision, collaborate on a supervisory structure, and coach on professional role.

I would affirm Doris for freely offering her recovery story and how it is helpful and reassuring for those who are exploring their own recovery journey. Then I would ask her about her views on personal and work life balance, and discuss how it sometimes becomes confusing for those in a peer support role. We might discuss my view of the supervisor role and how it might be different from her past supervisor's view of the role. From there, depending on how Doris reacts and what she indicates she already knows, we might talk a little bit about our supervisory relationship, create guidelines or an agreement, and establish regular times to meet to discuss issues that are coming up.
