dc.description.abstractThis capstone project explores the integration of spirituality with psychotherapy to facilitate recovery from various psychological conditions. It examines different definitions of spirituality and compares them to religion, exploring potential connections between spirituality and psychotherapy. Additionally, it investigates and presents research findings on the relationship between spirituality and psychotherapy. The project specifically analyzes three psychotherapy modalities that incorporate spiritual components. The project advocates for a holistic approach to healing and identifies limitations in the current understanding and practice of integrating spirituality and psychotherapy. It proposes recommendations for more inclusive and comprehensive approaches and emphasizes the need to address the impact of spirituality on the healing process. The project aims to contribute to the current body of research relating to counselling, psychotherapy, and therapeutic community work by identifying gaps and opportunities for improvement. It will also provide practical strategies and techniques for therapists to effectively integrate spiritual elements in therapy while being inclusive and sensitive to clients' backgrounds and beliefs. Lastly, it delves into a discussion of best practices for integrating spirituality and psychotherapy into a retreat format, which aims to promote holistic healing by facilitating a stronger mind-body connection and access to inner consciousness.
