• Working with the empty chairs in supervision processes : Revealing chairs, empathy circle technique, and other action methods to facilitate group supervision  March 12th 2024

Several action methods such as the empathy circle and revealing chairs are very useful for supporting groups and stimulating co-construction. These methods of action allow people to find themselves answers to their own questions, to deal with differences and conflictual context, to be surprise by new ways of seeing the same situation, and to broaden the field of possibilities.

Objective

• To experiment how action methods can open to new ways of thinking and feeling in conflictual situations.
• To discover uses of empathy circle and the relevant chairs

Method
In a security frame, the methodology includes 4 steps :

1. Experimentation
2. Sharing
3. Explanations, transmission of concept and techniques
4. Transfer to professional practice
