This paper analyses a series of supervision sessions supporting an individual and a group of Ukrainian therapists and psychologists via a voluntary online organisation known as PsyCrisis Ukraine. The supervision group met bi-monthly for just over a year. Our purpose, while highlighting supervision as a resourcing factor using creative embodied approaches to supervision, also emphasises the need to integrate a trauma resilience model (TRM) and a trauma-informed supervision model to help contain and work with aspects of vulnerability in the form of: stress, burnout and depression. As trauma continues to emerge as a result of the ongoing war, this article advocates increased self-care, emotional regulation support and a trauma-informed creative embodied supervision model (TICES).
