Counselor educators must actively advocate within predominantly white, heteronormative, and cisgender-centered training environments by leading initiatives that decolonize the classroom and center liberation. The purpose of this manuscript is to introduce, <em>Liberatory Anti-Oppression in Counselor Education</em><em>,</em> a culturally responsive pedagogical framework designed to infuse anti-oppressive, antiracist, and liberation-based practices into counselor training. To develop this framework, we conducted a review of peer-reviewed scholarly literature from academic journals. The result of this inquiry is a structured approach for counselor educators to implement liberatory practices in the classroom. We conclude by calling for a shift in the counseling profession toward liberation, offering practical strategies for educators and students alike.</p> <p> </p> 2025-03-30T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development http://944798.goutcd.asia/index.php/ijomcd/article/view/2982 Exploring Cultural Factors in Counseling: Experiences of Broaching Behaviors among Professional Counselors 2025-04-16T01:40:06+08:00 Atsuko Seto [email protected] Sudha Nagarajan [email protected] Anjali Badrinath [email protected] <p style="font-weight: 400;">A growing body of literature on broaching supports its effectiveness and addresses some challenges for applying this method to counseling practice. A thematic analysis with a phenomenological perspective was used to explore counselors’ experiences with broaching in their clinical practice to gain a greater understanding of its actual implementations in counseling. Four themes were identified through analysis of semi-structured interviews with five participants. They are: 1) demonstrating social justice and advocacy orientation as a foundation for broaching; 2) acknowledging the role of counselor self-disclosure in broaching; 3) contextual nature of broaching; and 4) commitment to engaging in ongoing development of broaching skills.&nbsp;</p> 2025-04-16T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development
