Define BCC convictions on spirituality?
• Spirituality is NOT a therapeutic technique. • Spirituality and religion are powerful and important concepts for most of our clients. • Effective therapeutic work lies along a continuum between the points of “avoidance” and “proselytizing.” • Spiritual differences are important. Honor, do not marginalize nor minimize these differences. Having separate umbrellas is ok. • Respect and support are not synonymous. Spiritual agreement is not a necessary requirement for a therapeutic relationship. • Competent therapy is possible only if we are truly willing to own our beliefs about spirituality when working with our client’s spiritual beliefs.
