The term spirituality has evolved and broadened over time and typically refers to a sense of connection to something bigger than ourselves. Spirituality is an expansive and wide-ranging concept encompassing many points of view. It often involves a search for meaning in life. Although it means different things to different people, spirituality can play an important role in helping people address mental health issues and maintain good mental health generally. A spiritual practice can help individuals stay grounded and provide a framework for coping with stress. If you are interested in expressing or exploring your spirituality as a part of therapy, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s spirituality experts today.
I minored in religion while at Florida State University and I find that using someone's spiritual beliefs can be a strength in their recovery. Our belief system has an impact not only on our feelings and behaviors, but also on our thoughts, self-identity, and awareness. My hope is to help you focus in on your spiritual goals, by coming to terms with the past, gaining skills in the present, and visualizing a better tomorrow.
