[What I think about being a counselor]

5/28 Edited to

... Read moreカウンセリングの仕事をしていると、多くの人が「カウンセラーは相手の心を全部見抜いている」と思い込んでいることがあります。しかし実際には、私たちカウンセラーも、人の感情や内面を完全に理解するのは難しいと感じることが多いです。 仕事ではクライアントの話をよく聞き、観察を通して少しずつ心の問題を探っていきますが、本人さえ気づいていない感情や考えもあります。そのため、「全部見抜いてますよね?」という言葉に対し、素直に「はい」と答えられない場面も少なくありません。 また、時にはクライアントの話や態度があまりにも複雑で「何を言っているのか分からない」こともあります。そんな時は自分自身が混乱してしまい、落ち込むこともあります。ただ、カウンセラーであっても完璧ではないという事実を受け入れると、クライアントとの関わりが自然なものになり、肩の力が抜けるのを感じます。 私自身、回復が早いタイプの人間なので、落ち込んでもすぐに気持ちを切り替えられますが、この感覚は誰にでも当てはまるわけではありません。カウンセリングは互いの人間らしい部分と向き合う仕事であり、すべてを見抜くことより、理解しようと努める誠実さが求められているのだと実感しています。 このような経験を通じて、カウンセラー職の現実や葛藤、そして日々の気づきを伝えることで、カウンセリングに対する誤解を減らし、より理解してもらえることを願っています。
