Trauma is the leading cause of death among people younger than 40 years of age in South Korea. This demographic represents the productive members of Korean society, yet little is being done to correct this growing problem. The preventable death rate in Korea is estimated to be approximately 60%, which is unacceptable given Korea's growing economy and available resources.

Objectives This study examined how the supervision experience that counseling trainees received during the training period to obtain a second-class certificate issued by the counseling -related association affects the process and performance of counseling. Methods To this end, data were collected from 10 counselors with less than 4 years of counseling experience through in-dapth interviews on supervision experience and counseling experience, and analyzed according to the procedure using a Consensus Qualitative Research (CQR) method. Results As a result of the study, two categories, five topic groups, and 18 topics were derived. Looking at the two categories and five topic groups, the first category, ‘experience of counseling supervision’, was found to be three topic groups: ‘guidance on understanding counseling cases’, ‘guidance on intervention in the counseling process’, and ‘experience through interaction with supervisors. In addition, the second category, ‘counseling process and performance experience’, was analyzed as ‘counseling that follows with empathy and support for the client’ and ‘counseling that helps solve the client’s problems by using counseling technology. Conclusions Counseling trainees had various experiences for growing as counseling experts through counseling supervision, and these experiences had a positive effect on the counseling process and performance, confirming that the ultimate goal of supervision was achieved. This study is meaningful in that the experience of supervision can provide a basis for supervision of counseling trainees, along with tangible proof that it effectively appears in the process and performance of counseling. The limitations of the study and suggestions for follow-up research were presented.
