Webinar Description:

Research tells us that personal spirituality can be foundational for clients struggling with loss, grief, and depression.  Clients may want to talk about their religious or spiritual beliefs in counselling, especially if they feel they are “losing faith”. Though we know spirituality is important, most mental health professionals are not explicitly trained in how to incorporate a client’s spirituality into therapy. Transpersonal psychology is a growing field that teaches practitioners how to value, clarify, and use their spiritual beliefs for lasting change. This eye-opening webminar will highlight key transpersonal exercises and themes for counsellors to feel more skilled and equipped to support their clients in exploring and managing their spiritual/religious life during therapy. No prior knowledge is required.
