“…Development, prevention, social justice, and wellness follow from counselors' history in educational and vocational guidance, remain relevant today, and anticipate a perennial future where humans will continue to exist in community with others. Further, development, prevention, social justice, and wellness are coherent with the knowable neurobiology of humans and its pertinence to counseling practice (Givens & Wilkinson, 2022;Lemberger-Truelove et al, in press), in addition to the inevitable situatedness of humans as cultural agents (Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 2006). The ontology that emerges when development, prevention, social justice, and wellness combine is an earnest concern with how counselors relate to clients and the prior conditions and practices necessary for their flourishing.…”

Kaplan et al. (2014) reported the results of a Delphi process intended to identify a consensus definition for professional counseling. The definition followed previous efforts to unify and strengthen core principles, practices, and policies pertaining to counseling and culminated in the following statement endorsed by 29 of the then 31 major counseling organizations-"Counseling is a professional relationship that empowers diverse individuals, families, and groups to accomplish mental health, wellness, education, and career goals" (Kaplan et al., 2014, p. 368). These and other processes performed by select members of the American Counseling Association (ACA) became part of the 20/20: A vision for the future of counseling, which addressed the scope of practice, credentialing, and licensing issues and offered strategic steps for the advancement of the field (e.g., Kaplan & Gladding, 2011). Although the one-sentence definition that surfaced out of the 20/20 Vision is efficiently punctilious, it is reasonable to infer that there are several assumptions and operations embedded within these words that further distinguish counseling from other allied human service professions.Almost two decades before the 20/20 Vision, Myers (1992) posited wellness, prevention, and development as the cornerstone identity features for professional counselors. More recently, other scholars have suggested that social justice is also a requisite ingredient for counseling practice, training, and scholarship (Ratts et al., 2016). Considered together, the notions of development, prevention, social justice, and wellness suggest a unique ontological position for professional counselors. Ontology is concerned with what is true, or real, and how that truth came into existence. Although subtle and complex in application, an ontology guided by development, prevention, social justice, and wellness is quite radical. In an era when managed care and evidence-based intervention protocols often drive mental health services (Hansen, 2013), it is possible that "the practice of counseling is the establishment of the prior conditions of indivisible wellness. At a personal level, counseling dialogue … is less concerned with mentalizing personal pathology but rather cultivating the most relevant and constructive opportunities for growth… as potential trajectories that can be affected and put on a different course assuming some contribution, which might include personal counseling, program development,

Gestalt therapy is a humanistic approach that emphasizes awareness of one's inner experiences and recognition of resistance processes. However, research exploring the relationship between interoceptive awareness—awareness of internal bodily sensations—and Gestalt resistance processes remains limited. Addressing this gap, our study used a cross‐sectional design to examine how interoceptive awareness correlates with resistance processes among 112 counseling students. Our analysis revealed that higher interoceptive awareness is associated with lower resistance processes such as confluence, introjection, projection, retroflection, deflection, and egotism, with no significant association found with desensitization. The results suggest that improved body awareness could potentially impact resistance levels. This highlights the need to include interoceptive training in counseling programs to enhance therapeutic presence and self‐regulation among trainees. This study offers evidence supporting the influence of interoceptive awareness on resistance processes and suggests that future research should explore ways to integrate these findings into training programs and broader Gestalt therapy practices.
