碩士 === 實踐大學 === 家庭研究與兒童發展學系家庭諮商與輔導碩士班 === 102 === When home is not a safe haven, how do I rediscover the love that has lost in my life? The life experience that I have avoided to mention has been creating limitations in my life and my helping profession. I came to realize the domestic violence experience that once happened in my family of origin has made such an impact on me. This time, through self-narrative, I hope to rediscover the love and the connection that have been lost in my family. Through self-narrative, I once again looked deeper into my life. I used reprocess model to write, to experience and to interpret the life experience of being abused, and also to feel and sort out the impact that experience has made on me. After the process of writing, reading and looking back, I slowly recollected the part of myself that was closed emotionally due to the violent experience. I tried to understand my parents’ effort and their limitations in parenting, and to see how the domestic violence experience has formed the strengths and limitations in my helping profession. In this process of self-narrative, I have regained my power and am able to face my past experience of being abused. Also, the interaction between my family and I has changed gradually. I took back the connection with my father and rediscover the love that was once lost in my life.
