Self-Care & Spiritual Practices
3 articles from our Denver practice.
Spiritual practice and clinical treatment are not substitutes for one another, and the places they get confused cause real harm — "just pray about it" has kept a lot of people out of treatment they needed. These articles cover what a rule of life is for, the Catholic contemplative tradition, and how prayer functions alongside therapy without either one pretending to be the other.
If you are looking for care rather than reading, see our Catholic individual therapy in Denver.
