| What is happening, or failing to happen, that is causing the trouble? |
Boundaries have not been set up for the working relationship. The supervisee is not respecting the time and boundaries of the supervisor |
The supervisee does not know the rules for communicating with the supervisor and the supervisor is not providing direct feedback. |
| How might the supervisor go about improving this situation? |
The supervisor should take the supervisee aside and remind them that these small bits of information can be discussed at the next scheduled meeting. The supervisee should really only text/call with information that cannot wait such as increased problem/dangerous behavior or possible medical issues |
Provide clear rules for communicating and include many examples, then provide immediate feedback that is direct when an unnecessary text is sent in the future. |
