Faith and meaning

Faith can mean religious belief, or a broader trust that life has purpose and things can work out. For many people it is a real source of comfort, community and strength during hard times.

In the room

Therapists often ask whether spiritual or religious beliefs matter to a client, so that support can respect, and draw on, what gives their life purpose.

Something a client might say

“Praying each night with my church friends got me through the chemo.”

An illustrative line, not a real client.
