Faith and SPIRITUALITY Exploration THERAPY
More and more people are looking to explore their path in adulthood. Some people may have a religious background and some may have never been to a church or even glanced at a bible. If you are someone who is looking to explore your faith, we can offer a space to do so.
What it is not:
Our clinicians are not here to push any personal beliefs onto you. Some of our clinicians do not have faith based practices and other have experience with many different ones. It is not our aim to influence our patients based on our own personal beliefs.
If you are not looking to explore your faith, then this will not be part of your tartlet plan or sessions. This options I only for people who ask for this and consent to this exploration. It is not pushed on anyone who is not curious about it or wanting to engage in it.
Why it may look like:
Our clinicians' aim is to help people who are seeking explore how their faith in childhood affects their life and beliefs as an adult. We explore any religious trauma that may have occurred and aid patients in finding resources to explore what faith means to them as adults finding that they belief and how they want to practice now.
Therapy is always consensual, however, services may include the following, if that is what the patient is seeking.
- Exploration of how your spiritual beliefs impact anxiety, grief, or view of yourself
- Leaning into your own values to make decisions
- Utilizing your faith to create meaning and purpose in your life
- Strengthen your sense of self by exploring your religious or spiritual values and beliefs.
- Integration of beliefs: Your therapist may work with a client to weave their faith into the therapeutic work, not as a separate entity.
- Holistic approach: This method recognizes the connection between mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being and addresses challenges from a broader perspective.
- Incorporation of practices: Faith-based practices like prayer, meditation, or scripture study can be used as tools for reflection, centering, and healing for those that request it and would like to incorporate it into their therapeutic journey.
- Addressing religious trauma: This approach can also help those who have experienced negative or traumatic effects from their religious upbringing by helping them reframe beliefs about a higher power.
