Abstract: In this article, we investigate the influence that spirituality and religion may have in therapeutic procedures. We examined the distinctions between spirituality and religion that might be made and highlighted the ways that some authors believe they overlap or merge into one another. The authors investigated claim that religion and spirituality may benefit therapy by fostering a client-therapist relationship and enhancing the therapeutic process by instilling both parties with a shared set of values and guiding principles. The client’s religious practices and beliefs brought to the therapy setting should be highlighted. Respect as a core value for the therapeutic conversation and connection has a significant role in reducing some of the negative impacts of the religious/spiritual intervention. Though they shouldn’t take the place of medical care, clinical interventions, or counseling, religion and spirituality should be incorporated into therapeutic interventions if they may help patients in various types of therapy.
