PESSO BOYDEN SUPERVISION ONLINE
Juliet has found a way to run PBSP groups online.  Rather than the usual Zoom Rooms – she does it on Zoom webinars instead. This allows some people to be ‘unseen and unheard’ in the main room – these are called attendees.  The ones who are visible in the main room (and can be heard) are panelists.

ATTENDANCE
Everyone is expected to attend for the whole day. If this is likely to be difficult please discuss this in advance with Juliet

HOW THE DAY WORKS
There will be someone who is trained or training in PBSP who will lead the structure.  Mostly, these are people who are already qualified as a therapist or counsellor.  This PBSP student will lead the structure.  But, Juliet will be online with them, to help them lead a ‘good’ structure.  The aim of the day is primarily for the supervisee – with the client coming a close second.  There will be moments during the structure session where we will pause the structure, and Juliet and the student therapist will have a conversation, and then the structure will continue.  People comment about how useful these discussions often are for them to hear.

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU NEED

  • A quiet space where you will not be interrupted or have people walking across the background
  • Some people like to use headphones for privacy
  • It is best to use a laptop rather than a phone or tablet
  • It’s a good idea to have a box of tissues nearby, a glass of water, and a comfortable chair!
  • It is important to have a good signal. Be close to your router – hard wired if possible
  • Close down all other google pages and software that might be using wifi bandwidth

STRUCTURES WILL BE ALLOCATED IN ADVANCE
Juliet will pre-allocate the structures, so that clients and supervisees know when their turn is.

ZOOM LINKS
You be sent two zoom links:
1) to come in as a panelist (fully visible), but also
2) the link to come in as an attendee (invisible)
This is so that if you lose signal and need to rejoin, during someone’s structure work, you can log back in and rejoin without surprising the client by suddenly appearing in the middle of their structure work!

BE READY 15 MINUTES BEFORE
Juliet opens the room 15 minutes before the start of the day, and everyone can log on to check their equipment is working.  Everyone starts as a panelists (who are both seen and heard).

WHEN A STRUCTURE STARTS
Just before the structure starts Juliet sets it up so that just the client, their therapist and Juliet (as supervisor) are panelists, and  everyone else is an attendees (i.e. they are not visible on the main screen).  Juliet also has a screen that she uses solely for placeholder(s) and doing holes in roles work.

When the client wants to enrol a figure to represent the voice of an ideal parent, let’s say an ideal mother,

  • the client chooses the person
  • Juliet changes their role from an attendee to a panelist, so they come into the main room and they can be seen and heard
  • They rename themselves on their screen ‘Ideal Mother’
  • The client chooses and enrols pillows/blankets etc to represent the Ideal Mother in the right place for them in the room they are in
  • The person role-playing the Ideal Mother on the screen provides the voice for the client to hear, and eyes for the client to look into

CLIENTS ARE ASKED TO GATHER OBJECTS TO REPRESENT THE IDEAL FIGURES (YOU DON’T NEED ALL OF THESE)

  • Clients are asked to have available a selection of things they can use to represent the Ideal Parents, for example:
  • very large cushions are really useful to represent an ideal parent(s)
  • long body pillow or bolster is good to represent an ideal parent(s)
  • bean bag(s) and or wheat bag(s) (eg used for neck pain – these are on ebay for about £5) can represent the hand of an ideal parent, or their arm
  • weighted blanket if you have one (I bought one for £20)
  • soft blanket(s)
  • a scarf or selection of scarves

The one proviso, is that no object should be ‘loaded’.  In other words, if it is the most precious velvet cushion, hand sewn by your ex girlfriend/boyfriend, then we won’t use that.  Or if it was a present from a father that you felt ambivalent towards, again, it might be best not to use that.  Please only bring neutral objects – scarves, cushions, blankets etc.

CANCELLATIONS
Any request to change (eg defer to alternative dates) or cancel your place at a workshop, that is made at less than 21 days before the course start date will be charged in full.  Any cancellation / amendments / requests to defer before 21 days, will be subject to a 12.5% handling charge.

CPD CERTIFICATES
This will be sent by email after you have filled in the feedback form

 WHO CAN ATTEND?
Client sessions (option 3) and observer participant sessions (option 1) are open to anyone who is interested in learning more about the Pesso Boyden System of Psychotherapy.  You do not need to have had any prior experience of PBSP.   However the PBSP supervision slots (option 2) are only open to people who have completed at least one year of PBSP training.

HOW THE DAY WORKS
There will be someone who is trained or training in PBSP who will lead the structure.  Mostly, these are people who are already qualified as a therapist or counsellor.  This PBSP student will lead the structure.  But, Juliet will be online with them, to help them lead a ‘good’ structure.  The aim of the day is primarily for the supervisee – with the client coming a close second.  There will be moments during the structure session where we will pause the structure, and Juliet and the student therapist will have a conversation, and then the structure will continue.  People comment about how useful these discussions often are for them to hear.  When online we will have a maximum of 3 supervision slots.
