Özet

Bu çalışma, psikolojik danışman adaylarının öz-şefkat algılarını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma, fenomenolojik yaklaşım çerçevesinde nitel bir desenle yürütülmüştür. Çalışma grubunu, bir devlet üniversitesinde psikolojik danışmanlık ve rehberlik alanında öğrenim gören 15 aday psikolojik danışman (11 Kadın, 4 Erkek; Myaş= 21.21, SSyaş= 2.16) oluşturmaktadır. Katılımcılar amaçlı örnekleme ile gönüllülük esasına göre belirlenmiştir ve veriler yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Bulgular, aday psikolojik danışmanların öz-şefkatin mesleki öneminin farkında olduklarını, ancak bu beceriyi uygulama düzeyinde yeterince kullanamadıklarını göstermektedir. Öz eleştiri, öz-şefkatin önünde önemli bir engel olarak öne çıkarken, bazı katılımcıların ise kendine karşı nazik olmayı güçsüzlük olarak gördüğü için öz-şefkat geliştirmekte zorlanmaktadır. Öz-şefkat geliştirme stratejileri arasında en sık olumlu içsel konuşmanın kullanıldığı ve bunun yanı sıra yazma ve olumlu yeniden çerçeveleme gibi bilişsel ve duygusal düzenleme stratejilerinin de tercih edildiği görülmüştür.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the self-compassion perceptions of counselor trainees. The research was conducted using a qualitative design within a phenomenological framework. The study group consisted of 15 counselor trainees (11 female, 4 males; Mage = 21.21, SD = 2.16) enrolled in a guidance and psychological counseling program at a public university. Participants were selected through purposive sampling on a voluntary basis, and the data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate that counselor trainees are aware of the professional importance of self-compassion; however, they experience difficulties in applying this skill in practice. Self-criticism emerged as a significant barrier to self-compassion, while some participants reported struggling to develop self-compassion due to perceiving self-kindness as a sign of weakness. Among self-compassion enhancement strategies, positive self-talk was the most frequently reported, alongside cognitive and emotional regulation strategies such as expressive writing and positive reframing. Additionally, perceptions emerged that self-compassion enhances empathy, strengthens the therapeutic relationship with clients, and serves a protective role against burnout.
