ABSTRACT

In our multicultural world, the counselor must provide a safe environment within which the client’s recognition of healthy and unhealthy beliefs are facilitated. Communications between counselor and client depend critically on the faith narrative each has developed over time from the brain’s natural inclination to organize and interpret accumulated personal experience. It is crucial for the culturally competent counselor to have a thorough ownership of his or her own faith narrative. This article describes the author’s use of journaling to provide a framework for self-analysis within his personal faith narrative in an attempt to grow in cultural awareness and humility.

摘要

在我们的多元文化世界中，咨询师必须提供一个安全的环境，在这个环境中，帮助来访者识别健康和不健康的信念。咨询师和客户之间的交流关键取决于每个人随着时间的推移从大脑组织和解释积累的个人经验的自然倾向发展而来的信仰叙述。对于具有文化能力的辅导员来说，彻底掌握自己的信仰叙述是至关重要的。本文描述了作者使用日记为他个人信仰叙述中的自我分析提供框架，以期在文化意识和谦逊中成长。
