This worksheet explores the concept of spirituality and how it can positively influence recovery. Spirituality is distinct from religion, focusing on internal motivations and connecting with something larger than oneself, whether through religious practices, nature, art, or fellowship. It encourages individuals to reflect on their spiritual history, personal beliefs, and experiences with religion. The worksheet highlights how a strong spiritual life can provide purpose, peace, and a sense of community, helping individuals through difficult times in recovery. By examining the impact of parental figures on one’s perception of God or a higher power, it prompts individuals to reconsider their spiritual beliefs and how they may influence their journey toward healing and personal growth.
Written by clinical psychologist Dr. Hal Baumchen, PsyD, LP, LADC, this printable PDF worksheet gives clinicians a practical, session-ready tool. The conversational, encouraging tone makes clinical concepts accessible to clients at any stage of recovery, while structured prompts keep the work focused and productive.
How clinicians use it: as an in-session exercise to open and structure discussion, as between-session homework to reinforce skills, as a progress tool to track growth over time, and as part of a treatment unit paired with the companion lesson and PowerPoint on this topic. Formatted for easy printing and immediate use in individual or group settings.
