Parallel Process in the context of psychology refers to a phenomenon observed primarily within psychotherapy and counseling, but it can also be seen in other relational dynamics such as supervision, mentoring, and organizational behavior. It describes a situation where patterns of behavior, communication, or emotional responses are mirrored or replicated in a separate but related context. In therapeutic settings, this often manifests when dynamics from the client-therapist Relationship are unconsciously repeated or enacted in the relationship between the therapist and their supervisor or consultant.
