CHARACTERISTICS OF SUPERVISORS

Good supervisors seem to have many of the same qualities of good teachers and good practitioners. They are empathic, genuine, open, and flexible. They respect their supervisees as persons and as developing professionals, and are sensitive to individual differences (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity) of supervisees. They also are comfortable with the authority and evaluative functions inherent in the supervisor role, giving clear and frequent indications of their evaluation of the counselor's performance. Even more, good supervisors really enjoy supervision, are committed to helping the supervisee grow, and show commitment to the supervision enterprise by their preparation for and involvement in supervision sessions. These supervisors show high levels of conceptual functioning, have a clear sense of their own strengths and limitations as a supervisor, and can identify how their personal traits and interpersonal style may affect the conduct of supervision. Finally, good supervisors have a sense of humor which helps both the supervisor and supervisee get through rough spots in their work together and achieve a healthy perspective on their work. Such personal traits and relationship factors are considered as significant as technical prowess in supervision.

I FINALLY UNDERSTAND FROM THIS

from oprah winfrey's site:

Don't Stay on the Surface When It's Time to Dive Deep!

All of this leads me to a very important question: Do you really prefer to place a higher value on a guy's superficial aspects (his sexiness, funniness, smartness, wealthiness) more than you value his superinsidehim self (his character, his soul)?

If so, then there is a big danger you will wind up involved with a guy who's rude, angry, dishonest, disloyal, hurtful, non-communicative, unempathic and selfish! As a result, all of his inner bad qualities will make you feel unhappy, insecure, unsafe, frazzled, neurotic and totally crazy!

Reminder Time: The number one reason to spend time with a guy is that he makes you feel happier and he is improving your life. Not making you more unhappy, insecure, unsafe, or just plain frazzled!

=D

i love daddy.

lost again?

life sure is full of uncertaintities.
even things that you were once sure of, can turn doubtful in a day.
or even mere seconds!
it's quite scary to think of that.

i had a nightmare.
and it stays on with me till the day i find true happiness.
it's not that i don't want to throw this bad dream away.
but it's too much a shock for me to handle.
after for so long i was sure of it.
it took a turn and disappoint me.
i still have hopes and dreams.
but how long would it take for a good dream to take over this very bad one?

can i still believe that it will be forever?
or do i just ignore it until it comes true one day?
confused and contradicting.

LIE

the perfect life i thought i would have shattered right in front of me today.

do you see me bending down to pick up the pieces?
