As neurobiological research now documents, spiritual beliefs and practices have a profound influence on healing and resilience, particularly after trauma, loss, or severe life changes. Therapy at its best can open spiritual wellsprings for our clients, yet many of us lack training for integrating spirituality with our clinical work and feel uncomfortable doing it. This workshop will draw on multi-faith perspectives to explore respectful ways of opening up more soulful conversations with our clients without overstepping boundaries. Practice guidelines and case examples will help you learn to recognize and address spiritual distress that blocks healing and positive growth. We'll consider ways for clients and therapists to find spiritual nourishment and connection both within and outside religion, including contemplative practices, being in nature, focusing on intimate bonds, opening up to the arts, and compassionate service/social action.
