Attitude Change

Twenty years ago, when I was in school pursuing my M.S.W., I was told implicitly or explicitly, to not talk openly about spiritual matters like reincarnation, God or various disciplines and belief systems.  I knew those things to be very fundamentally important for mental health, but I also knew that the subjects were generally not touched upon.  More recently I talk with clients openly and frequently about spiritual matters like reincarnation, God or various disciplines and belief systems, in a very open and non-denominational way and I am encouraged to do so.  Those conversations are a vital part of what I do.  The change is very pleasing to me.
