The client's use of their spiritual values and religion in their therapy sessions can really be an asset to the client's mental health. However, sometimes, clients can use their religious values or spiritual beliefs as a block or an exit during sessions as a sort of bypass to avoid doing some of the deeper emotional work that's needed. Spirituality and Religion can be super helpful, and it can be very delicate to know what to do when you want to honor the client's beliefs but also recognize when it's coming up in session as a way to avoid doing deeper work. As therapists, we want to make sure that we don't dismiss a client's spiritual or religious beliefs, or that we also don't get stuck preaching to them either (be sure of your ethical best practices here!).
Join We Heart Therapy host Dr. Belle and ICEEFT Certified EFT Trainer "Doc Hawk," James Hawkins Ph.D., as they discuss how to work with clients' use of spiritual/religious bypasses in session using EFT Emotionally Focused Therapy.
