ABSTRACT
Humanistic supervision is rooted in a commitment to the whole person, yet the supervisee’s living body has largely been absent from mainstream supervision practices. This article introduces the Embodied Chairwork Process (ECP), a four-phase method designed for humanistic supervisors from various theoretical backgrounds who want to incorporate embodied self-awareness into clinical supervision. Drawing on humanistic phenomenology and the expanding scholarship on somatic practice in counselor education, the ECP modifies the structural elements of chairwork, using physical positions and spatial movement within a humanistic framework that does not require Gestalt training. A case example demonstrates how the model works in practice. Ethical considerations and implications for culturally responsive supervision are also discussed. The ECP contributes to a growing, interdisciplinary literature on embodied supervision and offers an accessible technique for any humanistic supervisor dedicated to phenomenology and embodied experience as key aspects of professional growth.
