Summary:碩士 === 國立新竹教育大學 === 教育心理與諮商學系碩士班 === 102 === This is a journey to expose the secret of self-healing. I have suffered from psoriasis since fifth grade. I initially felt shocked and depressed, and then I escaped and even resented the fact that I was suffering from it. It was not until I struggled to face up to my sickness that I used to see myself as psoriasis. Finally, it’s differentiation into psoriasis and my life. In my initial stage of having psoriasis, I viewed it as a secret and refused to accept myself consciously the fact that I was suffering from it. In order to compensate for the defects caused by my sickness, I used writing. I also used dancing to separate the disease from my life. However, due to my deteriorating sickness, I was forced to live up with it. By sharing my experience with others and reading references, I broke through the frame of mind. Furthermore, I was determined to set up a psoriasis cyber community to explore the different vivid stories of other psoriasis patients and help them speak up their feelings. Through this exercise, I was able to reveal my inner thoughts and secrets about psoriasis which eventually led me to self-healing. The above experience bolstered my understanding and interest in related to the counseling professional. I realized that I can understand and empathy for clients who have secrets and feel helplessness. I would be able to face their difficulties with them together. Moreover, I learned about Expressive Art Therapy in which art and music help arrange adverse feelings, and I learned to explore myself and create my life through dancing. This paper aims to arouse readers’ awareness, and make readers have courage to reveal and face their true inner-self and to speak up their feelings more directly through actions.
