[Student Version] Understanding The Developmental Journey: Growth in New to Experienced Professionals. (N/NY)

Session 2 of the AATA 2025 Supervision Series

Description:

What are the shared experiences in the transition from new professional to experienced professional? While new professionals may rely on the supervisor for concrete answers, how do they develop the capacity for self-assessment while continuing to grow within the supervisory relationship? Learn about the developmental shifts that can lead to experiences of stagnation or deep, meaningful work. How can professionals recognize when they are at risk of stagnation and what strategies can they use to overcome this phase? How does the supervisor become internalized over time leading to a capacity for autonomy? How do their needs for support, art making, and supervision also shift and how can supervisors' best position themselves to evolve in the supervisory relationship? Learn about the evolution that can offer a path of deeply satisfying work in the seasoned professional.
