The purpose of this study is to examine the meaning of the experience of
commissioned counselors at the Healthy Family Support Center. This study analyzed
and interpreted the meaning of the data by collecting reflection journals, consultation
journals, important memos, photographs, and researchers'' memories.
In the process of deriving the meaning of the experience of commissioned
counselors five categories were categorized and 15 subcategories were
subcategorized to analyze the meanings. The story that the researcher realized and
reflected upon her experience as a commissioned counselor was described in
Auto-ethnography.
As a middle-aged woman, she was an ordinary housewife who was tired of her
life and lived without any more wishes, but she experienced change of life as she
faced problems to solve her problems that she always followed like a shadow.
Through counseling studies, she was freed by accepting her wounds and experiencing
healing, and furthermore, by working as a counselor, she experienced many things
and achieved human growth and maturity. The new start as a counselor at the middle age has inspired researchers who have been exhausted without any new
things.
The researchers, who started out as a novice counselor and grew up as a
professional counselor, hoped to be converted to an indefinite contract position at
the center in recognition of her hard work and efforts to help the psychological
health of the participants. The researchers as a counselor understands and reflects
on herself, her family, her children, and her relationships in many ways, among
various experiences and difficulties. The researchers have a desire to play a role as
a member of society by slowly expanding her focus to the outside world, while
challenging to cut off the rings of repeated inheritance.
Through this study, the researcher hopes to convey to readers that when a
helpless that when middle-aged woman in the midst of lethargy makes a new
decision for the challenge, the wounds will not remain as wounds, but that collection
can be made into something else positive.
