The purpose of this research is to explore the growth process of a counselor through counseling and Zazen experience. The subject is a 28-year-old female counselor who has been seeking counseling for five years and has taken part in Zazen for at least four years. The research used in-depth interview based on narrative approach and concluded five phases in growth, which are as follows: 1.Escaping. The subject had troubled experience with her father and senior high school classmates. She has been avoiding them for half a year since then. 2.Exploring. In this phase she decided to seek help in counseling. The counseling experience in turn motivated her to become a counselor. 3.Confusion. As she suffered another frustration, she turned to Zazen and learned to adjust and transform her own mindset, and eventually found a peaceful solution to the conflict. 4.Collision and integration. This is the phase of her becoming aware of the impact of the collision from two forces. When learning to integrate the two forces, she realized that counseling can be fortified with Zazen. 5.Stability. She resumed her life with coping skills after she practiced Zazen. She is now energetic, patient, caring, easy-going, thankful, self-challenging, and broad-minded. Based on the findings, the present research provides reference points and suggestions needed for further research.
