Integrating Your Client’s Spirituality in Your Counseling Practice
Dr. John Yasenchak, LCPC, LADC
- Recorded Webinar
Overview:
The impact of spiritual and religious concerns on the process of counseling has been gaining significant attention in both research and practice. This workshop is designed to support both personal and professional reflection in relation to professional standards of practice regarding spirituality and religion in clinical work.
A discussion of the terms “religion” and “spirituality” will be followed by explorations of potential ethical issues, assessment, cultural variance, developmental factors, transformational experiences, and the role of counselors play in the process. We will also examine definitions of “spiritual bypassing, spiritual emergence, and spiritual emergencies”.
Participants will be encouraged, as recommended by standards, to explore their own spiritual and religious journey’s. Beyond theory, this course invites you to embark on a personal exploration. Aligning with professional standards, you’ll engage in introspection of your own spiritual and religious journey. Recommendations for further study and growth await, ensuring your continuous evolution in this vital domain.
As we conclude, we’ll peek into the future – examining the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on this facet of practice. Enrich your skills, broaden your perspective, and embrace the transformative potential of spirituality and religion in counseling.
Join John in “Integrating Your Client’s Spirituality in Your Counseling Practice,” and unlock the wisdom to navigate the complexities of spirituality, religion, and counseling with grace and expertise.
Objectives:
- Discuss the importance of self-reflection in relation to practice in this area.
- Explain the standards of practice regarding spirituality and religion in the practice.
- Navigate potential ethical complexities with confidence, armed with insights to ensure ethically sound practices in the realm of spirituality and religion.
- Embrace cultural diversity as you learn to address the intricacies of spirituality and religion within various contexts.
