LIVED RELIGION: EXPLORING CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES IN WORKING WITH MUSLIM CLIENTS
Workshop Date: 28th September 2023
This workshop is open to anyone (Muslim or non-Muslim) wanting to explore work with client’s religious and spiritual beliefs as they navigate contemporary issues in their lives. Using the CMM – coordinated management of meaning framework, we will look at how the religious context and meanings are interwoven in cultural, familial and individual dilemmas.
The case examples that we present will come from our experiences of working with Muslim clients and intersecting identities.
Learning Outcomes:
Developing ways of engaging with Muslim clients’ religious beliefs and intersecting identities.
Exploring challenges in working across highly polarised and mistrusting systems.
Exploring the use of self and how our sense of self, values and beliefs are brought to the foreground or background in facing the challenges of positioning oneself as a therapist.
Finding ways of reworking ethical meanings based on lived experiences.
