Abstract

This chapter weaves psychoanalysis and theology into a vision of depth work as sacred practice. It proposes that the analytic space functions as a modern altar where suffering, longing, and transformation are encountered. By reframing clinical work as a form of spiritual accompaniment, it invites analysts and seekers to embrace their roles as witnesses to mystery and grace.
