“…Maggie's R/S transition, from Fowler's () perspective, is a transition from the synthetic–conventional stage to the individuative–reflective stage. Parker () described that individuals moving to an individuative–reflective stage can grieve the loss of friends and religious community members as those who hold less advanced (i.e., advancement of stages) views on religion and spirituality and can interpret questioning of religious beliefs as threatening. Counselors can aid clients in their transition from Fowler's synthetic–conventional stage to the individuative–reflective stage by allowing an open space for these clients to explore their loss of R/S identity and how it is affecting them and by guiding them in meaning making (Parker, ; Wong, ).…”

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals are at risk of having negative experiences with religion because of mainstream religions' non-LGBT-affirming stance. Negative religious experiences can lead to religious or spiritual (R/S) struggles and loss of R/S identity to maintain sexual identity. The authors describe R/S abuse, R/S struggle, and how these can result in loss of R/S identity in LGBT individuals. They provide a case study and discuss counseling implications and areas for future research.Keywords: religious identity, sexual identity, LGBT, religious abuse, loss T he loss of religious or spiritual (R/S) identity can be a significant development in individuals' lives and can complicate their lives by eliciting emotions that range from relief to anger (Barra et al., 1993). Often when individuals experience pain, they turn to their R/S beliefs for comfort; however, if their R/S beliefs are a source of pain, their R/S identity can be in jeopardy. For many historically marginalized populations, relationships with mainstream religious institutions can be contentious.

Counselors are faced with a unique challenge when faith is a prominent clinical variable. Although faith is deemed relevant, counselors may not feel comfortable approaching the subject of faith with clients. Participants in this study were practicing counselors licensed in their respective states; each was also a current doctoral candidate in counselor education and supervision. A scenario involving a complex interaction of faith; family systems; and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender issues in clinical practice was provided. Participants were found to be more likely to value the importance of addressing faith in sessions than they were to actually use faith as an intervention.
