Field mice and mustard seeds: approaching spirituality as a therapeutic tool.
Voice, power, anger, and self-care are themes that consistently arise in eating disorders therapy and in the world of spirituality as well. Many clinicians shy away from including reference to religious and spiritual matters and in doing so, miss an important opportunity to expand the therapeutic field. This paper highlights how biblical stories, prayers, and references to spiritual traditions can help patients manage and contain their affects as well as expand their vision of the self.
