Under such conditions, supervision cannot perform an exclusively educational or evaluative function: it must become a space for recovery, containment, and reflection on the specialist's internal experience. The supervision process should be viewed as supportive. It is about creating a safe professional environment in which the supervisee has the opportunity to reflect on their own reactions, boundaries, values, and the meaning of their work without violating the ethical boundaries of the supervisory relationship. Within the scope of our research, we find valuable the conceptual framework of the trauma-informed practitioner model developed by M. Paige, a clinician who is competent in working with trauma. This is a model of a clinician's professional readiness for trauma-informed practice. According to this model, the competence of a specialist in working with trauma consists of four interrelated components: – Presence – an individual quality of a specialist: the ability to be grounded, calm, authentic, and accepting; – Attitude – a professional stance (a value-based attitude toward the client: respect, trust, acceptance of the uniqueness of experience); – Knowledge (theoretical basis: understanding of the neurobiology of trauma, PTSD, the impact of trauma on functioning); – Skills (specific clinical tools: psychoeducation, emotion regulation, cognitive restructuring, three-phase model, etc.) [13]. CONCLUSIONS Consequently, no single model is universal. The most effective approach involves mixing models, where elements of different structures and theories are selected according to the needs of the supervisee and the context of supervision. In a logotherapeutic context, the key is to strike a balance between technical competence and meaningful development, where supervision not only supports professional effectiveness but also supports the supervisee's ability to find meaning in their work while remaining authentic in their profession. This allows the supervisor to be flexible, sensitive, and at the same time professionally competent, creating an environment where the supervisee's development takes place in the context of professional, ethical, and meaningful maturity. Logotherapy is a meaning-centered and value-oriented concept developed by Viktor Frankl. Its fundamental thesis is that despite the inevitability of suffering, people retain the ability to choose how to respond to it, giving this experience personal meaning. Moreover, the ability to find meaning enables self-realization and increases effectiveness in overcoming life's challenges. Logotherapy and existential analysys also postulates that every person has a healthy inner core that contains the most pronounced human and adaptive qualities. These qualities include a sense of humor, the ability to transcend oneself through love for others, and the ability to devote oneself to a cause. The strength of this approach is its recognition of the uniqueness of individual experience, which determines its effectiveness in working with a variety of client problems and representatives of different population groups.
