Who is spiritual direction for?
People of all ages who want to explore and deepen their spiritual nature can benefit from spiritual direction, though it seems to appeal to people in mid-life who feel like there must be more.
Some people enter therapy at this point, and some seek out spiritual direction, but a good spiritual director will recognize when certain issues brought up by a client would be better served through therapy and will refer the client to a therapist. Unlike counseling, spiritual direction does not focus on solving problems, but rather concentrates on developing awareness of God in every facet of life.
