Some do: Spirituality is an important dimension of life involving thought, emotion and behavior. Holistic health practitioners support the development of their client/patients' spirituality. The role of the health care provider is not to preach or dictate belief but to facilitate your finding a path of meaning and engagement with your life. Ask your physician/provider if this is part of his/her approach.
