In supervision, I emphasize interpretation not just as a technique, but as a reflective way of listening — a way of attending to what is enacted, displaced, and defended, and offering it back in a form that can be thought about.

In this sense, interpretation becomes a form of containment — not by soothing, but by thinking with clarity and depth about the emotional truth that emerges in the room.

This process builds your capacity for psychodynamic case conceptualization:

• Identifying internal conflicts
• Recognizing defenses
• Understanding transference patterns that organize the client’s experience

We don’t just talk about technique — we practice it.
By engaging directly with clinical material, you learn how technique comes alive in the room.

This allows you to experience therapeutic methods — especially transference interpretation — not just theoretically, but viscerally:

• Exploring not just what is said, but what it feels like to say it
• Attending to what shifts in the room when interpretation is offered with timing and neutrality
