I consider in the article the possibility of another dimension to which to pay attention in the relationship with clients. I propose the spiritual dimension as an aspect which we must at last consider and I hypothesize some operations which enhance its emergence in psychotherapy. This dimension has become essential for me as a point of arrival of my personal journey and it is made possible after a long time of discipline and rigor.
