If spirituality plays a significant role in your life, this is something we can incorporate in therapy sessions.

You may have encountered a few things on your path:

• Gone through a spiritual awakening or “dark night of the soul”
• Encountered an “ego death”
• Find yourself focused on an inner healing journey or learning about “shadow work”
• Spirituality has become a central piece of how you identify yourself and/or how you experience your world
• Find meaning from synchronicities
• You find yourself feeling drawn towards something more – but may not know exactly what that is
• Intuition has heightened and you are learning to listen to your “inner guidance”
• You’re embarking on a soul searching journey or “Hero’s Journey”
• You have a strong desire to connect more deeply with your soul and understand your authentic self better and live your life accordingly

The “Dark Night of the Soul” often follows an event that feels like it turns your world completely upside down – as though there’s a sudden unraveling of your life. This may be precipitated by something such as a  break-up or divorce, a health scare, a job loss, or significant financial loss, as examples.

This experience often feels like you’re experiencing depression, anxiety, or emptiness, but you find you feel this on a soul level. It’s often not like anything you’ve experienced previously.  You may also feel confused about who you are – as though you’ve lost a sense of who you are, who you thought you were, or life as you once knew it, but don’t know who you’re becoming or what’s ahead, either.  Everything, and I mean everything, feels completely different!

This can all feel very overwhelming and confusing and so it’s important to work through what’s coming up for you with someone who understands from both a spiritual and psychological stance.  I’ve experienced this myself and really enjoy working with clients navigating this path.

I also incorporate “tapping”, aka Emotional Freedom Technique, in my sessions with my clients who are interested in this. This is a transformative evidenced based energy psychology technique.

If spirituality is something that’s important to you, or any of the above resonates, then psychotherapy with a spiritual focus may be your next step!
