Resources for Peer Supervision   

Online Articles:

In the Service of life" by Rachel Remen MD- This is the article that really started it all for me but I didn't really realize the impact it would have at me back in 1996.  It now is the inspiration for my writing and massage practice

Presencingsource.com - Jack Blackburn's site with insightful articles on Addictive Caretaking in Massage and Presencing. I read his article series con Addictive Caretaking and was compelled to go

to the WA State AMTA convention at which he was speaking.  It finally put it all together for me.  What was missing from my practice is the ability to presence and not "caretake".  Caretaking will always be a challenge but I now have more compassion.("Anyone can learn to use their hands to listen to the body and thus accompany the inner experience of another. The key ingredient to presencing touch is to learn to listen to one’s own bodily signals continuously.")

The Need to Fix from Coping.org

Caretaking- From Coping.org

"The Educated Heart: Professional Guidelines for Massage Therapists, Bodyworkers and Movement Teachers" by Nina M.

"How can I help?" by Ram Dass.  I read this in massage school in 1987 and didn't think it applied to me.  Now it is what is fueling my passion for bringing peer supervision to the massage profession.

My Grandfather's Blessings: Stories of Strength, Refuge and Belonging by Rachel Naomi Remen, Md : Highly recommended.  This is really the core of our work - learning to serve.  There is an article online called "In the Service of life" that should be our Code of Ethics.   website -www.rachelremen.com 

Kitchen Table Wisdom By Rachel Remen Md.  More stories that heal.

Keeping the Professional Promise By Cidalia Paiva Phd available from Massage Therapy Canada
