Abstract

|
|
Objectives: This research was done to understand how people who experienced healing in childhood undergo marital relationship changes with group counseling.
Methods: By using Giorgi's phenomenological research methodology, an in-depth interview was conducted on six married persons who have been married for more than ten years and had an experience of group counseling.
Results: The research result introduced 27 sub-components and 10 major components. The contents of the 10 major components were: “struggled to live on through the difficult marriage relationship,” “participated in the counseling in hopes for a change in relationship,” “encountered my inner child,” “began to take care of myself after realizing the importance of healing,” “desired for a healthy recovery of each other after experiencing conflict and confusion,” “changed my perspective of looking at the spouse,” “communication with myself initiated communication with the spouse,” “encountered the spouse for his/her existence rather than his/her role,” “begin living independently after meeting the real me,” and “real meeting was extended.”
Conclusions: The research is significant as it empirically reveals that having an existential understanding on one's spouse enables the couples to truly encounter each other, and as it provides specific data for applying childhood healing comprehensively to marital therapy in the future.
