Abstract

Objectives Research shows that so-called ‘fortune-telling’, such as tarot, fortune telling, and divine fortune counseling, has been popular in Korean society even before the introduction of psychological counseling. Korea has a unique cultural background where divination culture exists as a larger market than psychological counseling. During psychological counseling, we will explore the experiences of counselors who have heard about clients' fortune- telling experiences and provide basic data through this. Methods A survey was conducted on a total of 50 counselors who had heard about their experiences with divination counseling from clients during counseling. The collected response data were analyzed through an exploratory research method, an experienced survey method, and a modified consensus qualitative research method. The collection period of research data was from October to December 2021, and the collected data was analyzed. Results The counselor's view on why the client talks about his fortune-telling experience during psychological counseling, the counselor's reaction when the client talks about his fortune-telling experience during psychological counseling, the counselor's view on the pros and cons of the fortune-telling culture, and the counselor's view on the client's religion. The relationship between fortune-telling counseling, the differences between psychological counseling and fortune-telling counseling that counselors think of, the evaluation of satisfaction after the counselor listens to the client's fortune-telling counseling experience, things that a counselor should consider when counseling a client about their fortune-telling counseling experience, and applied counseling theory. and explored counseling theories that would be recommended to beginning counselors. Conclusions Based on the research results, basic data that counselors can refer to in counseling education and practice was presented.
