Some people experience various forms of abuse in their religious or spiritual training. The abuse may have happened in the form of explicit physical, sexual, or emotional abuse by individuals who served as religious authorities, or it occurred through threats of damnation, being shamed for the natural inclinations of one’s own heart and spirit, being held to impossibly rigid moral standards, or subjected to rituals that were traumatizing or confusing. Person-centered spiritual consultation, in a safe, affirming setting, allows clients to reclaim a sense of what is sacred and spiritual on their own terms. They have the freedom to examine and validate the truth and meaning of their lives, as well as to explore whether any paths or communities can be trusted as reliable guides in their life journey. Spiritual consultation is not a substitute for processing the trauma of abuse with a qualified licensed therapist. It can complement therapy by surfacing questions and experiences and by providing an open-minded atmosphere in which to try various spiritual practices to determine whether certain practices fit the client’s needs and preferences.
