I invite you to join an intervision group
Imagine a canvas where every brushstroke represents an experience, an emotion, or an insight. Together, they create a unique portrait of professional growth, where each participant adds their own color and texture.
Every week, psychologists bring complex cases, countertransference, and the feeling that you’re the only one who doesn’t know what to do. Spoiler: you’re not the only one. The intervision group is for practicing psychologists and psychotherapists who are working during the war and understand that it’s hard to handle this alone.
No matter how much experience you have, you need to share it. To free up your hands and take on new things. I invite you to join the intervision group: Mondays, 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. (Kyiv), Zoom.
How does an intervision group work?
1
Contents
Group participants who wish to present cases (intervisants) should announce this at the beginning of the session. The facilitator determines the order in which the cases will be reviewed. It is never known in advance how many client cases there will be or what they will be about.

Host
I host the intervision group—Tetiana Stanislavska. From time to time, any member of the group can become an intervision moderator (if they wish), with my support. It is not easy, but it is a very useful professional experience.

Presentation of the case
The intervisor outlines the essence of the case. Other participants listen attentively. The intervisor also formulates a request: what exactly he expects from his colleagues: practical recommendations, alternative points of view, or simply support.
4
Clarifying questions
After presenting the case, participants ask clarifying questions about the case and the feelings of the intervisee in countertransference with the client, emphasizing the positive aspects of the case and the work already done.
5
Discussion
Next, the group members voice their subjective hypotheses and versions of what they have heard. The main rule is to do this using “I-statements”: “I think that…”, “I have this idea…”, “My personal opinion is that…”.
6
Feedback
The case review concludes with feedback from the interviewee whose case was discussed: how the analysis was useful to them and what they will take away for future work with clients. After that, we move on to the next case.
