CBT 기반 융합예술치료에 참여한 미디어 의존 성인에 관한 사례연구 : 자기이해와 감정회복을 중심으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is a case study examining the process of self-understanding and emotional recovery among media-dependent adults who participated in CBT-based convergent arts therapy. In particular, it sought to understand how media dependence functions within the lives of people in their 30s, who often experience psychological burnout from overlapping roles such as marriage, career changes, and child-rearing, and how recovery unfolds.
Three adults in their 30s experiencing media dependence were selected as participants, and a six-session convergent arts therapy program combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy （CBT） and art therapy was conducted. A qualitative multiple case study design was adopted to examine participants' subjective experiences and processes of change in context, and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
The main findings are as follows. First, the participants commonly used media as a means of ＂maladaptive self-medication＂ to avoid uncomfortable emotions such as anxiety, emptiness, and pressure regarding competence. Second, the art activities conducted during the program helped visualize and externalize repressed emotions that were difficult to express in words, leading to emotional catharsis and insight. Through this process, participants identified the true nature of media as ＂false comfort＂ and deepened their self-understanding by facing their essential needs. Third, through sensory recovery via art and concrete action strategies based on CBT, participants came to regulate their automatic dependence on media, rediscovering internal resources such as meditation, contact with nature, and spiritual reflection. However, these changes did not amount to a complete resolution; after the program ended, some participants still showed remnants of previous habits or ongoing anxiety.
This study specifies the scope of media dependence research to adults in their 30s, contributing to a foundation for developmentally informed counseling, and illustrates through cases the value of an integrated cognitive-emotional approach in adult media counseling. It suggests that recovery from media dependence is not merely a technical reduction of usage time, but a process of understanding oneself through reflection and gradually restoring autonomy in life.
