Introduction
This summer was unusually hot and the heat didn't seem to go away for a long time.
People used to wonder if this heat would ever go away, but now that the cold winds blow in the mornings and evenings and the leaves start to fall, I realize anew that nothing can overcome the passage of time.
That's why they say that as time passes, many difficult things tend to change into memories and remain as good memories.
It's called the "Mudcella Syndrome." It's ironic that the moments that made you wish time would pass quickly now all remain as a vague longing.
Advertisers use this to make money by selling perfume, but when I think about it, I remember that my childhood wasn't all that enjoyable and happy.
Studying, making friends, and figuring out who I was and what I should do were all challenging.
I wish someone would be kind and give me specific advice, but when I was young, the concept of counseling didn't even exist.
Have times gotten better?
Has life become difficult?
Now, counseling-related signs are easily visible on the street, and it has become more natural than before to visit a counseling center when facing difficulties or difficult issues.
However, counseling is not easy for young children or adolescents because they do not come to the counseling room on their own, but are usually brought there by their teachers or parents.
And every time I meet children with various problems, I often doubt whether I can do this job successfully.
Paradoxically, such doubts may have further spurred and disciplined me.

The series “Understanding Child and Adolescent Psychological Counseling through Film” can be understood as part of this effort.

As the leaves change color and fall, time seems to slip away little by little, and I want to hold onto it, but since I can't hold onto the passing years, I just want to live each day diligently.


Waiting for spring 2019.
