Problem: Give me a word count on this post Spirituality and beliefs form one's interpretation of and response to suffering. The interpretation that arises from one's beliefs and spirituality determine whether suffering is met with resilience and growth or reduction in functionality. For the purpose of responding to this prompt, I will equate beliefs with institutionally regulated religious cognitions and spirituality with that which transcends the individual and connects the individual to a reality outside and larger than him/herself. A person's religion may or may not connect them with the transcendent. Religion void of spirituality is more likely cause dysfunction, as the value or interpretation of religious tents may go unchallenged (Walsh, 2019). Therapists are ethically bound not to impose their personal religion or value systems upon their clients. However, it is quite possible, even necessary, for a therapist to challenge religious perspectives that cause dysfunction in a client's life by posing open questions. This intervention is especially useful in the case of moral injury and can identifying sources of religious distress, as well as the client's own spiritual resources. For example, a Christian woman experiencing spiritual distress over the possibility of ending an abusive marriage might be encouraged to more deeply explore her own faith to discover alternative perspectives to her interpretation of the concept of female submissiveness (Walsh, 2019).
