Write 3 unique questions you would ask a client to obtain further information about their religious and spiritual beliefs. What is the rationale for each question?
Is there a church that you attend? This question would start the process of religion and be a start to to see if they are religious in that aspect. There are some people that don’t go to church regularly, but still consider them religious and have their own ways to practice their beliefs.
Do you believe in faith? Faith is a trust in a higher being, and having faith does tell a story about what the person believes. One example of faith is wanting something really bad, and working hard for it, knowing that it will come true eventually. I personally have faith in many things, and it gives me purpose to work hard and believe that it will come true.
Do you ever wonder what our purpose is here in earth? This could open interesting and deep discussion, but definitely would give some insight of their spiritual thoughts and beliefs. It may bring up their life challenges, their thoughts of existence, and maybe even their belief in medicine through the aspect of mental healing.
