Spirituality In Therapy: Is It An Answer?

Whenever anyone mentions spirituality, most people think about a religion such as Catholic, Protestant, Pagan, Judaism, Muslim, Zoroastrian, Buddhist, traditional Native American and other too numerous to count. For many, spirituality is intertwined with religion, however, spirituality should not be confused with religion. People can be very spiritual without having a particular religious affiliation. In a simple definition, spirituality is the way that we view ourselves in relation to the world and how we express our spirit.
