In this enlightening podcast episode, we explore the impact of faith-informed components in therapies on mental health outcomes. Faith, understood as a psychological trait, holds personal salience and introduces biases into human reasoning. Some therapies explicitly incorporate faith, while others do so implicitly (as seen in mindfulness practices). We discuss the ethics of faith’s inclusion in therapy, the psychology of faith, and the influence of practitioners’ faith on therapeutic choices. Join us as we unravel the complexities and recommendations for implementing faith-informed approaches in clinical practice. 🌟 Guest Speaker: Sarah Fox KEYWORDS: religion effect on mental health, impact of religion on mental health, faith based intervention
