How is spiritual direction different from psychotherapy? Spiritual Direction is not a substitute for psychotherapy as the goals of the experiences are different though the two can complement each other. Usually spiritual direction is a midlife exploration/reflection and continues monthly as long as it benefits the directee. The director is more of a spiritual companio who has training in exploring these issues and whose own journey includes a desire to connect in this way to others.
