What is spiritual counseling?
Spiritual counseling with Reverend Thaeda is a reflective listening process that leads to a deeper understanding of your true Self. Spiritual counseling is based on the premise that we do not need to be fixed or diagnosed as much as we need to be heard without being judged. When we truly understand ourselves and the ways in which we engage with the Universe, we are introduced to our inner wisdom that leads to sense of peace and equanimity.
I am not religious. How can be spiritual counseling be helpful to me?
Spiritual counseling is an invitation to gaze within and see the beauty of your inner self. Many of us who identify as spiritual but not religious feel unmoored or disconnected to what is truly sacred. Whether you are atheist, agnostic or deeply religious, spiritual counseling can enhance and deepen your connection to yourself and the God of your understanding.
I am religious and I am happy with my faith life. Why would I need spiritual counseling?
Even those who are grounded in a strong faith find it helpful to have someone to talk to about life situations and circumstances within the context of their own views. When doubt arises, as it inevitably does for most of us, we need and deserve to share our emotions and perspectives in a confidential, non-judgmental safe setting. As an interfaith minister, Rev. Thaeda provides spiritual nourishment that is grounded in theology and compassion.
