Designing a Career Reflection Program Based on Existential Therapy Utilizing the Narrative Structure of Exile Culture : Focusing on the Exile Narrative of Chusa Kim Jeong-hee

This study aims to design a career reflection program from an existential therapeutic perspective by utilizing the narrative structure of exile culture. As rapid social changes increase individual suffering and anxiety, the attitude of Chusa Kim Jeong-hee toward life and career, as demonstrated in his response to the existential challenges of exile, offers significant insights for modern society. Through a literature review, this study divides Chusa's exile narrative into three stages: despair and solitude, self-reflection, and self-actualization, and analyzes it from an existential therapeutic perspective. Based on these findings, a career reflection program was developed. The program is designed to help individuals understand their current existential challenges (Session 1), explore their potential (Session 2), and concretize and achieve their goals (Session 3), thereby overcoming limitations and constructing their career as existential beings. This study is meaningful in that it sheds new light on the positive values of exile culture and explores ways to integrate it with other fields, such as career development and philosophy, to support individual growth.
