In Spiritual Awareness Psychotherapy, Dr. Lisa J. Miller illustrates her spiritual approach to working with clients. Using her spiritually informed Rogerian approach, Dr. Miller listens to a client to help discern his or her life journey and growth along an individual spiritual path. In this session, Dr. Miller works with a woman named Bev who is struggling with a choice between a highly rewarding job and her last opportunity to spend time with her youngest daughter before she grows up. The session shows Bev working from painful indecision toward resolution.
Spiritual awareness psychotherapy is a process of providing clients with an environment in which they may become more attuned to their own individual path in life. This approach involves not so much creating a dialogue between the client and the therapist but helping the client start a "dialogue with the universe," in which the client may see clearly the spiritual journey he or she is taking.
Lisa J. Miller, PhD, is a tenured associate professor of psychology and education in the clinical psychology program at Teachers College, Columbia University, where she is director of the child and adolescent track. She earned her BA from Yale College and her doctorate from University of Pennsylvania where she studied under Professor Martin Seligman, founder of the positive psychology movement. Her clinical approach holds as fundamental the spiritual reality. The focus of treatment is to facilitate and support the client's spiritual path through increased awareness of the living, guiding, and loving universe.
