Hi Daryl

I just say WOW!

Amazing that you make such an effort to provide us readers with such service.

I have read your FPD for several years with great benefit and pleasure.

Several times I have come across posts you have written and I have given some a red flag to be able to go back to it but my system has not been so clear.

Collecting everything in a file in this way makes it a lot easier.

Thanks for that!

Your ability to organize a system around things is deeply impressive. Personally, I find it difficult to create my system. (despite my old age and long working life)

Your introduction about shame feels really central and something we are not used to talking about in, for example, supervision

Yesterday I met 2 new workgroups in which I will be a supervisor.

We talked a lot about frameworks and arrangements for how we should work together and, of course, expectations for each other's roles.

But I didn't touch anything about shame and what it can do to us when we expose ourselves to colleagues. We touched on the importance of feeling safe but, as I said, nothing about shame.

The supervision context means a situation of being scrutinized and then there is the proximity of shame there as well.

The one I take with me is to be more aware of this and as you say gently bring it to light and together with the group create the habit of talking about shame.

Greeting

Bengt,

You raise important points about being scrutinized and safety.

Given how you are thinking about this, I have faith that your supervisees are in good hands.

Thanks for being part of all of this.
