Description

<p>Counseling of a mother who has a son with severe physical disability was conducted through three sessions. Subsequently, the client was interviewed regarding her evaluation these three-counseling sessions. The psychological problems of the client were resolved just after the three sessions. She had had serious levels of anxiety about quarrels between her sons and had wanted to know how to cope with the situation. Through these three sessions, the client obtained effective coping strategies and renewed her affection with her sons. These three sessions are discussed here in terms of Gendlin's"experiential changes-steps"or the experience of being"carried-forward."In the first session, the client was able to clear her mind of her imminent problems(Gendlin's"clearing a space for herself"). In the second session, she came to form her own"felt sense"and was able to perceive things with it. In the last session, she found it important to be attentive to the thoughts of her first non-disabled son, and noticed the unexpected inherent strengths of her severely disabled son. In the evaluation interview, she expressed appreciation for the counselor' s experiential listening.</p><p>The findings thus confirm the effect of"experiential changes-steps"or the experience of being"carried-forward."This case study also shows that focusing-oriented counseling is an effective counseling technique for mothers.</p><p>In addition, when considering support of parents at the Child Development Center, it was very important for professionals to collaborate(e.g. "taking over the trust relationship" and "setting safe time and space").</p>
