Respond to at least two colleagues with a thoughtful question or suggestion that builds on your colleague’s strategy for debriefing.

A Strategy Social Work Supervisor in the Levy Case Study Might Use to Debrief the Social Worker.

As a social work supervisor, I would use a strategy of self and empathy in the Levy case. The social worker is experiencing an issue with separating her thoughts and emotions from her client. Her client is a veteran who has experienced military trauma (Laureate Education, 2014). The strategy of self teaches the social worker how to manage the emotions she feels from the patient verses her own feelings. It also teaches the social worker how to use skills and social work knowledge rather than emotions when working with clients (McTighe, 2011). The strategy of self will assist the social worker to separate her emotions from her client’s military trauma and use her social work skills to assist the client.

The use of empathy is another part of the self-strategy that will be used. The supervisor needs to process the information provided by the social worker using an empathetic viewpoint (McTighe, 2011). The supervisor listening to the social worker and not being judgmental will assist the social worker’s professional development. The social worker needs to feel they are able to communicate with their supervisor about any concerns or emotions they are feeling when working with clients. The supervisor being empathetic during the debriefing will create a safe and trusting relationship.
