“…Spirituality in Jasmine's world can be explored through the pairing of immanence and transcendence. Immanence is understood as the spiritual dimension of the everyday that may have glimmers of transcendence (Coyle 2022). One of the foundations of immanence is best described by Michael White, the co-developer of narrative therapy, White used a phrase once, 'exoticizing the everyday', to talk about the potential of everyday life to lift people to another level where they are able to understand the everyday to have unlimited potential for enriching their lives (White 2004).…”

Theological/spiritual reflection in psychotherapeutic practice has increased in recent years. Approaches for reflection and integration vary depending on the practitioner’s spiritual and theoretical beliefs. The integrative approach utilized in this paper is derived from a phenomenological perspective of the author, who was schooled in pastoral theology and later family therapy. Considering the pastoral theologian Seward Hiltner’s perspectival approach, this integrative approach creates a conversational method, integrating the client’s concerns with specific narrative therapy interventions or practices and the theological/spiritual concepts of immanence–transcendence. Finally, this case study’s methodology offers constructive questions that clinical practitioners can apply to specific psychotherapy approaches as well as theological concepts.
