學習成為一個諮商人：自我敘說研究

Becoming a Counselor: A Self Narrative Study

本文旨在探索自己在學習成為諮商人這一條路上的一些經驗與發現，以自我敘說方式進行資料蒐集，然後以階段、主題的方式呈現研究分析結果。我的諮商路可以分為幾個階段：與輔導交手、生涯的轉折、俄亥俄經驗、重新回鍋與回國之後。整個學習諮商人的過程有幾個主題：實務經驗的累積、不同文化的衝擊與豐富、挑戰自我的許多成見與迷思、異國生活的震撼與融入、面對不同當事人的豐富生命體驗與省思、以及對於弱勢族群的同理與代言動機。影響諮商專業最多的是我的當事人，他們提供我有血有淚的生命真實經驗與故事，也讓我可以在許多錯誤中學習與成熟。

This study attempts to explore the experiences and discoveries during the process of becoming a counselor. With self-narrative focus, results of data analyses are presented as different stages and themes. The stages include: Encountering counseling, career transition, Ohio experiences, reentering counseling, and after returning to Taiwan. The themes include: Accumulation of practical experiences, abundance and impact of cultural diversity, challenging personal prejudice and myths, cultural shock and adaptation, reflection of the richness of the diverse clients’ lives, empathizing with the minorities and becoming an advocate on their behalf. My clients influence me the most as a professional, sharing with me the authentic life experiences and stories, allowing me to learn and mature through mistakes.
