The Thriving Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Spiritual Orientation Scale and Subjective Vitality Scale were utilized. Analyses were performed with the Structural Equation Model and The Pearson Product Moment Correlation, Path Analysis and Bootstrapping Test were used. According the road analysis result, the direct effect of spiritual orientation and subjective vitality in life satisfaction proved to be significantly high. The fit values of the model are within acceptable limits (χ²/SD = 0.00; p < 0.01; GFI = 0.99; CFI = 0.1; NFI = 0.99; RMSEA = 0.00). In the established model, 22% of the total variance of the life satisfaction variable is explained. The results of the bootstrapping process in the model prove to be significant (bootstrap coefficient model = 0.054, 95% G.A. = 0.022, 0.118). The findings were discussed in line with relevant literature and recommendations on their possible application have been given.

ÖZDanışanlar terapide kimi zaman kendilerini ifade etmekte zorlanabilir ya da terapiye karşı direnç gösterebilir. Danışmanlık seanslarında kendilerini ifade etmekte güçlük çeken, direnç gösteren danışanların birçok nedeni vardır. Danışanın direncini anlamak, terapötik ilişkiyi, direncin nedenlerini ve oluşturduğu diğer problemleri anlamak ya da müdahaleler yardımıyla danışanı motive etmek için faydalı olabilir. Bu bağlamda, bu makale psikolojik danışmanlık yaklaşımları dikkate alınarak danışan direncine genel tanımlar içinde odaklanmaktadır. Bu derleme makalesi sonucunda danışanların terapideki direncinin "problemleri sürdürme-deneyimin reddi ve çarpıtılması", "başa çıkma süreci", "paylaşma ya da paylaşmama: danışman kendini ifade etme" kavramları etrafında kümelendiği görülmektedir.
