Abstract
Counselor education doctoral students (CEDSs), like other doctoral students, need assistance and support to ensure their self-care.
One area markedly affecting self-care is one’s relationships with others. The purpose of this article is to examine the multiple
relationships involved within CEDSs supervision, the potential areas to utilize peer support, and to propose peer support
as an intervention for CEDSs. The authors discuss implications for using peer support to negotiate issues such as multiple
relationships while being a CEDS and propose a call for research into the use of peer support as an effective approach to
managing multiple relationships.
