What does spirituality have to do with mental health? Recent studies have shown that the two are more intertwined than many would imagine. It is clearly admitted by a huge sect of mental health practitioners that spiritual well-being is a central need for so many people.
Many times when one goes through struggles, one loses sight of who one is and the things that are important. But because spiritual counselling asks one to look inside and be more mindful of the behaviour, one can reconnect and recommit to the values.
Spiritual counselling is a holistic approach, it focuses on everything—mind, body, and spirit. As a result, integrating spirituality and/or religious principles with the clinical practice gives sound foundation and more hopeful outlook to the therapy.
