レターカウンセリングを継続しながら While continuing letter counseling
ホームページをご覧の皆様
昨年9月のご依頼をきっかけに、性犯罪などの問題行為による事件を起こしてしまい、来所による面談やテレビ電話をご利用になれないご状況(勾留中、刑事施設入所中など)にいらっしゃる方々を対象にレターカウンセリング(手紙を通した治療的関り)を開始しました。現在も継続中でございます。
レターカウンセリングの主な目的としましては、その時々のありのままのお気持ちを共有させていただくこと、そして社会復帰に向けて変化へのモチベーションを維持していただくことになります。「もう繰り返したくない」「今度こそやめる」といった反省や後悔の気持ちも大切ではございますが、気持ちだけを頼りにすることなく、再犯防止に向けた社会復帰後の生活や行動を具体的にイメージしていいただけるように認知行動療法のアプローチを盛り込んだりもしております。
少し先の将来の自分に希望を持ち続けようと思う、そのわずかなきっかけにしていただきたい、と願いながら…。
そうなのです。そのような思いで始めて継続しているわけですが、果たして本当にわずかでも役立っているんだろうか、と思うこともございまして悩んだりもしてまいりました。レターカウンセリングにかぎらず対面式やオンラインの面談におきましても、どなたかの役に立つということは簡単なことではないので、悩みに悩む作業は当然なのですが。
人はどうすれば自分自身に希望をもてるようになるのでしょう。この記事を読んでいただている皆様はどう思われるでしょうか?奇跡のようなことが起きて自分の願いが次々とかなったり、物質的な豊かさを手に入れたりするなど、特別な何かを手にしないともてないもの、それが希望なのでしょうか。人によってはそうかもしれませんし、そうではない人もいるかもしれませんね。
レターカウンセリングのお手紙を受け取り、返信をくださるかたのことを心に思う浮かべ、そのかたの希望とはどういうところからやってくるものなのか考える作業を愚直に繰り返していこうと思います。
ご家族とご本人がレターカウンセリングを希望される場合、当オフィスより入所先の機関と確認をとり、所定の手続きを進めてまいります。詳しくはお問い合わせの段階でお伝えいたしますので、お気軽にご連絡ください。
レターカウンセリングが、性犯罪、薬物使用、窃盗、暴力、詐欺など、やめたいけどやめられない問題行為(違法行為)でお悩みのかたや、そのご家族にとっての選択肢の一つとして参考になれば幸いです。
Everyone who uses our office and everyone who visits this homepage
At the request of the client in September of last year, we started and continued letter counseling (therapeutic involvement through letters) for those who have caused an incident due to a problematic act such as a sexual crime and are in a situation where they cannot use the videophone or interview by visiting the office (during detention, in a penal institution, etc.)
The main purpose of letter counseling is to share the feelings of the moment and to maintain motivation for change toward rehabilitation. To image concrete idea of life and actions after reintegration to prevent re-offending, without relying solely on feelings of remorse and regret, such as "I don't want to repeat it anymore" or "I will stop this time", we incorporate a cognitive-behavioral therapy approach into letter counseling.
We would like to clients to continue to have hope for themselves in the future, hoping that it will be a slight opportunity for us ...
That is right. We started with that kind of thought and continued, but also worried because of wonder if it was really useful. Not only in letter counseling, but also in face-to-face and online interviews, it is not easy to be helpful for someone, so it is natural to have time like this. How can a person have hope for himself? What do people reading this article think ? Is it hope that something special must be obtained, such as a miracle happening and one's wishes being fulfilled one after another, or a material abundance being obtained ? This may or may not be the case for some people.
We will honestly repeat the process of letter counseling, thinking about the person who will receive and reply to it, and thinking about where the hope of that person comes from.
If family and client wish to receive letter counseling, we will confirm with the institution where client is admitted from our office and proceed with the prescribed procedure. Please feel free to contact us as we will inform the details at the inquiry stage. We hope that letter counseling will be helpful as one of the options for those who are worried about sexual crimes, substance use, theft, violence, fraud, and other problematic acts (illegal acts) that they want to stop but cannot stop.
