Abstract

This study aims to describe the psychological dynamics and changes in emotion regulation of a first-born adolescent girl who feels burdened by parental expectations through a Person-Centered approach. The research employed a qualitative single case study design. The participant was an eighth-grade female student experiencing pressure to remain strong and serve as a role model for her siblings. Data were collected through four individual counseling sessions using semi-structured interviews, observation, and anecdotal records, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. Findings indicate that initially the participant suppressed her emotions to maintain a strong self-image. Throughout the counseling process, she gradually developed awareness of her emotional needs and shifted toward more open self-acceptance. The changes occurred gradually and remained influenced by ongoing family dynamics.
