Using Spirituality in Psychotherapy: The Heart Led Approach to Clinical Practice offers a means for therapists to integrate a spiritual perspective into their clinical practice.
The book provides a valuable alternative to traditional forms of psychotherapy by placing an emphasis on purpose and meaning. Introducing a spiritually informed model, Heart Led Psychotherapy (HLP), the book uses a BioPsychoSocioSpiritual approach to treat psychological distress. Based on the premise that everyone is on an individual life journey, HLP teaches clients to become an observer, identifying the life lessons that they are being asked to understand or experience. The model can be used whether a client has spiritual beliefs or not, enabling them to make new choices that are in keeping with their authentic selves and to live a more fulfilled and peaceful life. This new edition includes updated references and new material on transpersonal psychology, spiritual awakening, working within the quantum field, significance of the heart and heart coherence.
Illustrated by case studies to highlight key points and including a range of practical resource exercises and strategies, this engaging book will have wide appeal to therapists and clinicians from a variety of backgrounds.
