I am not part of a church and I don't have a pastor or other religious leader, so alexandra, your suggestion wouldn't apply to me. I'm not religious, but I do have a spiritual side, which someday, I would like to develop. If therapy can offer that to me, then great, I may take advantage when I am ready.

Transpersonal Psychology is a branch of psychology that accommodates developing the spiritual side in therapy, although it doesn't necessarily push it.

This quote from http://www.itp.edu/about/tp.cfm explains it better:
</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
Transpersonal psychology is an approach to the whole person. It seeks a balanced development of the intellectual, emotional, spiritual, physical, social, and creative expression aspects of a person's life. Thus, all six areas are addressed scholastically and therapeutically, and integration or balance is sought.

Right now my work in therapy seems to be mainly on the emotional, physical, intellectual, and social aspects. I hope someday to get to creative expression and spiritual. Baby steps.
