Abstract	The purpose of this study is to let an art therapy trainee majoring in art grow professionally as a therapist through self-work training. For this, the process of confrontation and acceptance on self-awareness by the art therapy trainee majoring in art grew was analyzed and described, using auto-ethnography. The result and conclusion of the study are as follows. First, from childhood to adulthood and even afterwards, the decisions on my career were mostly made by the parents and other people around. It was because, as a first child, I was eager to meet the expectations of my parents and this is closely connected to the reasons why I chose art as my career. With the understanding, I was able to face the fact and see how passive I have been in my life. Second, while moving away from the stereotype on art, as a process of seeking completeness, I was able to redefine the academic identity of art, while experiencing process-oriented art therapy. I also came to acknowledge that as a therapist, I need to see and accept the work of a client as it is. Also, as a graduate student studying art therapy, I came to acknowledge that I need to confront and accept myself and what attitude I need to take through the self-work. This study is expected to provide basic data on the growth experience of art therapy trainees majoring in art.
