About our January issue

The pieces in this issue offer a snapshot of therapeutic work in a pandemic. Chaplain, Sue Anson, talks about supporting hospital patients on wards, giving a powerful, personal account of this multifaceted role and the place that faith holds within it.

Karen Rawden, shares a simultaneously personal and professional encounter with the virus and unpacks its spiritual significance from a psychosynthesis perspective. She explains that authenticity and vulnerability are required in order to connect with something much deeper. 

The self-care practices that Paul Golightly introduces are designed to facilitate that connection with self. They are simple and can be slotted into the working day. Robin and Joan Shohet also provide a timely reminder that supervision should be a place to go for spiritual sustenance: somewhere to sort through the worldly, fear-driven ‘stuff’ that gets in the way of authentic connection.
