During each membership year, between June 1 and May 31, in order to
maintain your RCST® status, it will be necessary to receive a minimum
of four supervision sessions. These sessions must be with a professional who has been in the healthcare field for a minimum of eight consecutive years.

Beyond that there is considerable flexibility, as your sessions may
be from such people as credentialed psychotherapists, psychologists
or psychiatrists, RCST®s, MSWs or Somatic Experiencing practitioners. (In the instance of an RCST®, the designation has only been granted for about 6 years, but such a person may have had previous experience in other modalities to make up the 8 consecutive years, or may have been practicing CST prior to the granting of the designation.)

Your supervisor/s needs to sign your log verifying the date of each
session, providing her/his credentials and years in practice. This log
will be part of your renewal requirements for 2007. Your supervisor
may not be a family member, friend or anyone else with whom a dual relationship exists. Your sessions may be in person or over the phone and must be one-on-one, not group.
