As a CPSS, it is okay to share generally about how spirituality has affected our recovery as long as we don't push our beliefs or negative judgment onto others.

• A. True
• B. It could be harmful
• C. It depends on the context
• D. Not appropriate at all

Answer: (A)

Sharing how spirituality has helped in your own recovery can be appropriate for a CPSS, as long as it’s done in a non-coercive, non-judgmental way and with clear respect for the peer’s beliefs and boundaries. The idea is to offer your experience as inspiration or a possible resource, not to push a belief or tell someone what they should think or practice. By keeping the focus on the peer’s goals and comfort level, you create a safe space where recovery can be supported through personal strengths, including spirituality if that’s meaningful to them. If a peer wants to hear more, you can share in general terms what helped you and invite them to explore what resonates for them, but you stop if they indicate anything uncomfortable or requested boundaries are being crossed. This respectful, client-centered approach helps build trust and supports recovery without imposing beliefs. The other options imply rigid limits or harm, but with appropriate boundaries and consent, sharing personal spiritual perspectives can be a constructive part of peer support.
