Psychotherapy as an Ethical and Spiritual Exercise

This article describes how precious the practice of psychotherapy can be and how privileged therapists are in practicing this activity. In this article, psychotherapy is seen as an ethical and spiritual exercise, as an existential enterprise that can change the therapist's entire experience. Seeing and experiencing the therapist's work in this way can change the domestic into exotic, and the job of the therapist can thus be a meeting point for the real, beautiful, and good in a unique manner. The article also offers readers small examples of experiential exercises that they can use to increase their connection to spirituality or to help them be more present in their work. The aim of the exercises is to function as a guide for therapists who are seeking this type of connection in their daily work.
