Episode notes
Spirituality As A Core Protective Axis
- Spirituality is not a minor variable but a fundamental orientation that reshapes how life is experienced.
- Clinical data show spirituality is far more protective against suffering than most familiar risk factors.
Work With Synchronicity Actively
- Authorize your direct knowing: treat synchronicities and intuitions as real data worth noticing.
- Reflect on their meaning and then act to collaborate with the guidance they offer.
Prayer In The Pantry Shifted Care
- Lisa Miller describes praying with a profoundly ill Catholic patient who asked her to pray for protection.
- That moment convinced her patients crave spiritual connection beyond psychotherapy's templates.
