| Abstract: | The counselor's internal competence has an impact on the counselor's self-management, primarily the cognitive domain. Failure to manage thoughts will cause cognitive distortions, even to identify biases in mental experiences. This condition is cognitive fusion. Cognitive fusion causes the counselor to be trapped in his mind, unable to discern the effects of his mind's external assumptions on conditions. The experienced counselor can predict the counselor's cognitive fusion condition. This study aims to identify and describe the cognitive fusion condition data for counselors. The research method uses a comparative study design through the Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire instrument. Respondents in this study totaled 170 divided into two groups, experienced counselors and novice counselors. The moderate form of counselors' cognitive fusion condition was found as the research results. In particular, some counselors have high cognitive fusion conditions. The counselor's experience in counseling, evaluation, supervision, and action research makes them train their minds to think at a high level. Thus, the counselor has many historical events as their reflection and internalization in their mind. Based on the research results, Mind-skills training could be given as one of recommendation to improve the metacognitive skills of novice counselors so that they can match the performance of experienced counselors. |
