most clients are spiritual
According to public polls, large segments of the U.S. population identify as “spiritual” or “religious”, and combined these total 82% or 272 million within the U.S. population. 18% say they are “spiritual not religious”, with trends moving towards “spiritual” away from “religious”. This certainly fits my experience as a coach and therapist, yet most us received a secular curriculum. A minority of professionals graduated from a religious school, usually Christian. There’s a very tiny chance you took a spiritual psychology or transpersonal elective class in your psychology or social work program, since they are rarely offered.
The modalities I’ve created are a synthesis of interdisciplinary theory and years of private practice as a therapist and coach. The benefits I observed with this approach are extraordinary because they incorporate our deepest of desires- the need to go far beyond suffering, and remember all of who we are, and our purpose in life. This approach is based on the assumption that with practice we can connect directly to divine, beyond everyday ego states with profound benefit to our lives. Some of these practices, like meditation, come out of wisdom traditions, some are connected to brain science like binaural beats. Once we are aware that we are far more than what mainstream science claims, we can set our intention to access and live from higher states of consciousness with all the creativity, healing and happiness that comes with it.
The classes and coach certification program I’ve developed offer this path, both for ourselves and those we serve. Anyone can take the Classes through pre-recorded video classes and they all count towards the Quantum Coach Certification (QCC) training.
Starting in summer of 2025, I will offer a continuing education (CEU) class for mental health providers, based on a similar modality that also integrates science and spirituality: Quantum Empowerment Psychology (QEP).
most training is secular
Therapists, coaches and spiritual counselors are often the first responders to these crises. Are we ready to guide clients going through these deeper and more expansive changes? There are universal, energetic commonalities that connect all of us, regardless of identifiers like “spiritual”, “religious”, “believer”, “agonist” or even “atheist”. The research supports this, yet these unifying concepts don’t inform most professional training programs.
United Stated based Sophia University, the California Institute of Integral Studies and some religious based colleges are an exception, but they may not be clinical programs, so graduates don’t get training on how to integrate spiritual concepts with health diagnoses. There is concern that spiritual crises are over-pathologized by practitioners who are not aware of spiritual realities. At the same time, sometimes mental health issues are misunderstood in spiritual communities.
Thankfully there are many academics and thinkers out there that we can learn from, and the wisest among them know we all possess inner wisdom; our internal access to the spiritual quantum field.
Time to repair a false divide
I believe it has hurt our clients and our own professional development to artificially sever non-physical, energetic and spiritual dimensions. Prior to the advent of modern medicine, there were members of communities who were trained in spiritual healing, with expertise in nonphysical remedies- from shaman to energy healers to priests. Thankfully we have a lineage of modern thinkers who understand that our spirituality can’t be severed from psychology, from William James, father of psychology who believed our spiritual self to be our true self, to modern academics like Lisa J. Miller, PhD, at Columbia University. Current-day authors such as Dean Radin, PhD, and Joe Dispenza, PhD, tirelessly remind us that mind-over-matter is real with practical benefits we can all access. Unfortunately this research is nearly absent from core curriculum and continuing education. As just one solo practitioner, I am contributing where I can.
