Reviews and Endorsements

‘Reading this book involved a very enjoyable imaginary argument with Kate Graham, over everything from the precise meanings of words to the overarching significance of hope, faith, and reason. I'm not sure which of us won the tussle, but it was certainly worth having! Graham writes beautifully and fluently, and states her positions with passion and incisiveness. They are often not the same as my positions – but so much the better.’
Nick Totton, body psychotherapist, supervisor, and trainer; full member, European Association for Body Psychotherapy

‘The genius of this book lies in its respectful awe of both the therapeutic process and the power of faith, brilliantly presented through a dialogue among mystery, reason, and hope. A must-read for therapists and people of faith.’
Margaret Benefiel, PhD, CEO of Executive Soul and Program Director of Soul of Leadership; author of Crisis Leadership and The Soul of a Leader

‘I welcome this book. It fills a space in psychotherapy that for too long has been relatively empty, namely the spiritual dimension of the work. The author gently, bravely and compellingly asks us to value mystery, the unknown, faith, love, and forgiveness. Through numerous case examples, honest self-disclosure and thought-provoking reflective questions at the end of each chapter, Kate Graham invites the reader, whether therapist or client, to lean into the sacred space that the therapeutic relationship can offer.’
Robin Shohet, editor of Supervision as Spiritual Practice
