I believe there is hope for anyone who is seeking help both individually and relationally. Sometimes our emotions interfere with us living our best life. It is often necessary to regulate our emotions so that we speak clearly and directly. As a level 3 trained Gottman Couples therapist I believe it is possible to constructively manage conflict so that it will bring greater understanding.

My stomach hurts, I'm exhausted, my whole body aches. Any of this sound familiar? Did you know that unprocessed or "stuffed emotions" can manifest in your body as physical symptoms? Most of us work hard not to feel painful emotions. That sounds logical. Why feel bad? The problem with stuffing emotions is that they don't go anywhere. They remain in your body. This is good and bad news. It's bad news because emotions stuck in our body can cause physical, emotional and mental problems. It's good news because that emotion is still in your body available for you to feel and move through your body when you are ready.

Spirituality Therapists

What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?

Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.

What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?

There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.

Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?

Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.

How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?

​​Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
