Online Workshop: Spiritual Diversity in Psychotherapy: Engaging the Sacred
January 20th, 10a-12p, Pacific Standard Time
Research suggests that the majority of clients come to therapy with spiritual/religious (S/R) commitments and hope that these will be included in their therapy. What does it mean to become S/R competent and how do we work humbly on S/R issues in therapy? How does one assess one's own and one's client's S/R? Finally, how do we work ethically from our own S/R traditions while respecting the S/R diversity of our clients.These are a few of the questions that this workshop will cover.
