Abstract

Centering is a contemplative practice derived from centering prayer. In the context of counseling, our study explores centering as an intervention to enhance counselors’ empathy. Additionally, we investigate the moderating influence of nonduality, particularly bliss, on the changes in empathy over time. Through a randomized controlled trial involving counseling graduate students across the United States, we measured empathy and nonduality. Following a 4-week centering meditation treatment, the initial growth curve model revealed a statistically significant and sustained increase in empathy (p < 0.001). The second model underscored the significance of the three-way interaction between group, time, and nondual bliss, indicating a time-varying moderating effect on empathy. This research has practical implications for counseling and counselor training, endorsing centering meditation as a valuable tool for grounding counselors pre- and post-sessions and providing avenues for future exploration and application.

居中与心理咨询师的共情:检验非二元意识的调节作用
定心是一种源自定心祈祷的沉思练习。在心理咨询的背景下,我们的研究探讨了将定心作为一种干预措施来提高心理咨询师的移情能力。此外,我们还研究了非二元性(尤其是极乐)对移情随时间变化的调节作用。通过一项由美国各地的心理咨询研究生参与的随机对照试验,我们测量了移情和非二元性。在为期 4 周的定心冥想治疗后,最初的成长曲线模型显示移情有显著的统计学意义和持续的增长(p < 0.001)。第二个模型强调了小组、时间和非二元极乐之间的三方交互作用的重要性,表明时间变化对移情有调节作用。这项研究对心理咨询和心理咨询师培训具有实际意义,它认可定心冥想是心理咨询师在咨询前后接地的重要工具,并为未来的探索和应用提供了途径。
