Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study uses narrative study to examine how a North Korean refugee experienced depression from the thought of incompetence, and how her pains evolved throughout her meditation counseling sessions. The research participant had a son after she married. But she divorced in a year and could not breed her son. At that time, it was too difficult to live in North Korea. She felt guilty because she could not breed her son. After she came to South Korea, she still experienced depression from the thought that she could not breed her son because she was incompetent. During meditation counseling, she confronted via Reflected Image Meditation (RIM) the pain she had experienced when she parted from her son, and she has since recovered from her depression. The significance of this study is that in the absence of much qualitative research based on in-depth counseling done on North Korean refugee women, this research examines through eight sessions of in-depth counseling a North Korean refugee woman’s experiences.
