Prinsip Mendengarkan dalam Pemulihan Trauma Anak di Panti Asuhan Kristen: Sebuah Pendekatan Psikoteologis
Abstract
Child trauma recovery in Christian orphanages requires a holistic approach integrating psychology and theology. However, practical models that operationally blend these two perspectives remain limited. This qualitative study aims to develop a mentoring model based on the principle of "listening" through a psychotheological approach. Using a literature study method, this research synthesizes theories of humanistic and trauma psychology (particularly from Carl Rogers and Danel Siegel) with a hermeneutical analysis of Biblical texts. The study yields an integrative model comprising three practical steps: unconditional self-acceptance, strengthening self-esteem, and providing space for self-expression. These three steps operationalize the listening principle within a framework combining attentiveness, valuing, empathizing, and loving. This study provides a theoretical contribution to Christian counseling literature by offering a structured psychotheological model. Practically, this model can serve as an applicable guide for orphanage caregivers in creating a restorative environment for child trauma survivors.
Abstrak
Pemulihan trauma anak di panti asuhan Kristen memerlukan pendekatan holistik yang mengintegrasikan ilmu psikologi dan teologi. Namun, model praktis yang secara operasional memadukan kedua perspektif tersebut masih terbatas. Penelitian kualitatif ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan sebuah model pendampingan berbasis prinsip "mendengarkan" melalui pendekatan psikoteologis. Dengan metode studi literatur, penelitian ini mensintesis teori-teori psikologi humanistik dan trauma (terutama dari Carl Rogers dan Danel Siegel) dengan hermeneutika teks Alkitab. Penelitian menghasilkan model integratif tiga langkah praktis, yaitu penerimaan diri tanpa syarat, penguatan harga diri, dan pemberian ruang ekspresi diri. Ketiga langkah ini mengoperasionalisasikan prinsip mendengarkan dalam sebuah kerangka kerja yang memadukan sikap memperhatikan, menghargai, berempati, dan mengasihi. Studi ini memberikan kontribusi teoretis bagi literatur konseling Kristen dengan menawarkan sebuah model psikoteologis yang terstruktur. Secara praktis, model ini dapat dijadikan panduan aplikatif bagi pembina panti asuhan dalam menciptakan lingkungan yang memulihkan bagi anak-anak korban trauma.
