In my first appointment I with Emdr T I mentioned being Catholic and my faith and faith community are a huge part of who I am. She told me she doesnt ususlly disclose her religion to clients but since I brought it up she told me she is also an active Catholic. One day I asked if she felt comfortable discussing religion as part of my therapy. She was. We discuss how some of my issues relate to my faith. Such as forgiveness. What does it mean in God's eyes? She recommended I try yoga for therapeutic reasons; we discussed briefly the Catholic teachings on yoga and she mentioned I should talk to my priest. Things like that. It is not something we talk about all the time nor an entire session but it is pretty frequent.
If you want to discuss your religion ss part of your therapy I think you should bring it up. I dont think it is odd
