For many of our clients, to ignore the spiritual is to ignore their sense of the very essence of who they are. Use of clients’ spiritual beliefs in the process of treatment, recovery, and healing can be done ethically and respectfully in ways that improve clinical outcomes. Integration of spirituality into psychotherapy is especially important for those suffering eating disorders and body image concerns, the hallmark of which is disconnection from one’s true-identity. This session will show how attending to “the spiritual” need not detract from nor replace evidence based clinical interventions - rather, use of spiritually-inclusive clinical approaches can support and strengthen best practices.
