“…Non-reactivity to inner-experiences was found to be the strongest predictor of self-efficacy and the overall model fitness is low (40%). These findings are consistent with existing studies that relate higher mindfulness with higher academic self-efficacy among students (Hanley et al, 2015 ), and with higher counselling self-efficacy among trainee counsellors (Butts & Gutierrez, 2018 ; Greason & Cashwell, 2009 ), coping self-efficacy (Fallah, 2017 ) and general self-efficacy (Chang et al, 2004 ; Caldwell et al, 2010 ; Charoensukmongkol, 2014 ). It suggests that, strengthening trait mindfulness can help enhance self-efficacy among adults.…”

The aim of the current study was to evaluate and compare the relationship of mindfulness with self-efficacy and self-esteem. The study has also investigated the difference in mindfulness levels across five dimensions: observing, describing, acting with awareness, non-judging of inner experiences and non-reactivity to inner experience between males and females and between young adults and middle-aged adults who belong to the Indian population. There was a total of 146 participants ( F = 80, M = 66), 84 in the young adult group (20–40 years) and 62 participants in the middle adult group (41–65 years). Pearson correlation showed statistically significant ( p < 0.01) moderate positive correlation between all the five dimensions of mindfulness and self-esteem; while self-efficacy had significant ( p < 0.01) moderate positive correlation with all the dimensions of mindfulness except for non-judging of inner experiences. Multiple linear regression (MLR) with self-esteem as outcome variable showed model fitness of 51% ( p < 0.01) with acting with awareness, non-reactivity to inner experience, non-judging of inner experiences and describing as predictive variables. With self-efficacy as outcome variable, MLR showed model fitness of 40% ( p < 0.01) with non-reactivity to inner experiences, acting with awareness, observing and describing as predicting variables. Females were found to be significantly higher in acting with awareness and observing dimensions of mindfulness compared to males. Middle adults were found to be significantly higher only in the non-judging of inner experiences dimension as compared to early adults. Importance of mindfulness in improving self-concept has been established in western world. The present study, by exploring the relationship between mindfulness and self-variables in Indian population, highlights the probable positive outcomes of mindfulness enhancing techniques on self-esteem and self-efficacy of individuals, and therefore on the quality of life.

“…However, according to participants in the current study, experiences of depth can also feel “sacrificial” to counselors’ well‐being due to the profound emotional connection and “unearthing experience.” These findings support Skovholt’s (2005) theory that counselors must master interpersonal skills and strike a delicate balance between deep emotional connection and emotional over‐involvement. Maintaining this self‐other distinction is shown to prevent against burnout (Thomas, 2013) and is predictive of counseling self‐efficacy (Butts & Gutierrez, 2018). Additionally, from a broad view, experiences of countertransference were also reported as sources of interpersonal stress for professional counselors.…”

Using consensual qualitative research, the authors explored the factors that contribute to counselors’ experiences of interpersonal stress and how counselors respond to interpersonal stressors within therapeutic settings. Thirteen professional counselors representing a variety of counseling contexts and settings participated in semistructured interviews. Through consensus building, the authors identified 4 domains within the data: client characteristics, relationship dynamics, counselor response, and personal vs. professional self. The findings suggest that client characteristics and relationship dynamics are catalysts to counselor interpersonal stress responses, which shape their conscious awareness of the experience. Implications for clinical practice, clinical supervision, and counselor wellness are discussed.

“…Articles concerned with influences on and experiences in career roles balanced attention to students and counselor educators. Contributions to the research on master’s‐level students included quantitative studies of work values, occupational engagement, and professional quality of life pre‐ and postcareer course (Blount, Bjornsen, & Moore, 2018); dispositional mindfulness and personal distress as predictors of counseling self‐efficacy (Butts & Gutierrez, 2018); and attributional style as a predictor of burnout (I. Lee et al, 2018). Holliday, Peacock, and Lewoski (2018) explored motivations for child and adolescent specialists’ enrollment in a graduate program.…”
