Abstract
The author distinguishes metacognition from experiential awareness in counseling. While all therapeutic approaches engage metacognitive awareness, phenomenologically driven humanistic approaches emphasize experiential awareness by attending to the subjective character of mental acts and the qualitative character of experience. Clinical implications are examined to illustrate how experientially focused practices differ from rationality-focused practices.
