Professor Lee Ho-sun from 'Lee Ho-sun's Counseling Room' shared a poignant story of a client that brought tears to viewers' eyes.

On the 25th, on the channel 'tvN D ENT', Lee Ho-sun recalled 'the most memorable moment in her counseling career.'

The client was a mother who had lost her son to depression and had been bedridden like a vegetative state for six months. The first counseling session was arranged at the desperate request of her husband, who feared losing his wife as well. During that session, the mother did not utter a single word.

Lee Ho-sun suggested, "Let's have a counseling session with the three of us, including your son."

Lee Ho-sun asked the mother to bring a photo of her son and began to open the closed doors of her heart by discussing conversations she might have had with him. After five sessions, they visited the Namhan River, the place where they had lost their son. It was a painful location the mother had never visited due to her grief. Lee Ho-sun shared, "I drove there with the mother, holding her hand. She cried her heart out on the bridge and eventually fainted."

On the Namhan River bridge, carrying her son's favorite 'Sirupat-tteok' (a type of rice cake), the mother cried until she fainted. After regaining consciousness, she shared her son's last rice cake with Lee Ho-sun, finally preparing to say goodbye. She folded a letter she had written into a paper boat and set it afloat on the river, allowing her to return to her daily life.

Lee Ho-sun reflected, "It's been over ten years since the counseling ended, but the mother still sends me gifts on her son's memorial day," adding, "It's not because the counselor did well, but because of the strength the client found within herself."
