This study analyzed the vivid statements of the client through phenomenological qualitative research methods to understand how the Corrective Relational Experiences(CRE) would affects the client and lead to the client's life from the process of the change in counseling. Interviews were conducted on 7 counseling psychology-related majors who had CRE in counseling, and 41 sub-participants and 10 participants were derived as a result of analyzing the data. After CRE, the client's life could be understood in the context of relational change, and it would be in the context of structure between the components such as the counselor, myself, major others, general others, and my counseling. A client who has CRE 1) not only trusts the counselor as an expert, but also becomes humanly intimate, and 2) facilitates emotional interaction with the counselor and can exist in its original form. This change with the counselor leads to a change in oneself, and 3) maintains a daily life by overcoming difficulties with the inner voice, and 4) accepts and takes care of me and lives on my own. Afterwards, 5) a client will accept family and friends who are expected to be close and safe around me, make new attempts, and move into the direction as I want, and 6) receive respect and sympathy from family and friends. On the other hand, 7) there are still problems that are painful and have not been solved with family. Gradually, 8) a client feel like the life is worth living because it looks favorable and safe to me, 9) which allows to interact with people happily and sincerely in my own way, and 10) to grow into a counselor.
