"Death during counseling, feels like my fault"... 'Divorce Reflection Camp' Lee Hoseon, tears

[Financial News]  Lee Hoseon, a professor at Soongsil Cyber University, confessed the most painful moment he experienced as a counselor and shed tears.

Lee Hoseon appeared as a guest on the MBC entertainment program 'Radio Star' broadcast on the 28th. As a psychological counseling expert, he recently gained attention for giving realistic advice to couples contemplating divorce on JTBC's 'Divorce Reflection Camp'.

On this day, Lee Hoseon said, "The most difficult situation during counseling is when the client dies," adding, "People with deep depression or trauma from extreme experiences may not overcome new psychological pressures and make extreme choices."

He continued, "I've had such experiences about three times," and "When I first experienced it, I couldn't eat for about two months. I felt like a fool and thought it was my fault that the person ended up like that. I also thought, 'If I hadn't said it like that.' When it first happened, I took psychiatric medication," he confessed.

Lee Hoseon said that he also receives counseling and education to relieve his emotions during counseling, adding, "The most common thing I hear is 'It's not your fault,'" and shed tears.

He said, "There are also many funny things during counseling," trying to change the mood, "Some people do handstands and breakdance in front of me saying they are exercising. The scenes I see during counseling are bizarre," he said.

Earlier in April, it was reported that a participant in the 'Divorce Reflection Camp' passed away two months after the broadcast. Regarding the news of the participant's death, Lee Hoseon said, "I mourn the one who lived passionately and kindly and left us sadly. I pray for the family left behind. I pray for hope at the end of tears. RIP," he mourned.
