The Power of Prayer in Psychotherapy

While it may seem unusual for a psychotherapist to discuss the power of prayer, many therapists acknowledge the role spirituality can play in emotional healing and well-being. This episode looks at how (secular) prayer, can facilitate inner peace. offer a sense of purpose, and reduce stress especially when addressing existential questions, grief, or trauma.

 

“Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.”

Mahatma Gandhi
