ABSTRACT

In counseling, silence may be interpreted as various meaning. The counselor’s silences such as those in consent to client’s feeling and thoughts or those intended to induce client’s self exploring etc, contain more than just ‘absence of speaking’. So far in psychological counseling, researches have been actively pursued on the importance and meaning of silence. However, study on ‘silence’ from Christian counseling perspective is scarce. In this regard, this study mainly reviews what meaning Jesus gave us in his silent response, through counselors’ silence and client’s silence as well as Jesus’ counseling described in the Gospels. Jesus’ silence provides the path to the reversal in client's story. Jesus’ silence derives the narrative of connection, improvement and recovery of relationship, rather than alienation, severance. Narrative can be used as the tool to understand client’s silence, through experience as the method to access the true substance of experience and by analysis on the narrative that has been experienced and spoken. In other words, in order to approach the substance of client’s experience, it is useful to use a narrative as a medium, looking after the unique experience of a person in Christian ways. The therapeutic practice in Christian counseling shall be the process in the new and essential interpretation that human life is the co-authoring of the human and the God.
