ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to understand how counselors who have been given focusing training experience so-called “real relationships” in counseling and appreciate the meaning of the experience. The participants in this study were five individuals with previous experience in the practice of counseling who received focusing training and are presently in counseling practice. In order to dig deeply into their experience, Giorgi's phenomenological research method is applied and three components and eight sub-components are derived. The three components are "experience with a genuine attitude," "experiencing a concrete sense of connection," and "the counselor has also developed as a human being in the relationship." The essential meaning of the real relationship experience of the counselors who have received focusing training can be summarized as "They grow with their clients and establish an interactive and companion-like relationship based on a person―centered attitude and the focusing experience." Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed based on the results of the study.
