Abstract
This chapter discloses the authors key experiences of faith and doubt throughout their childhood and adulthood—experiences that have shaped them and their work, including as trainers and supervisors. As part of a qualitative method (i.e., collaborative autoethnography), the authors recollect and reflect on how their faith and doubt have been marked by their relationship with religion, significant others, and the mentoring they received (or did not receive) during their graduate training. Reflecting on their current experience of faith and doubt, the authors emphasize their growing tolerance to ambiguity and uncertainty, as well as their value of collaboration with others. From these shared experiences they offer recommendations for trainees to actualize their potential as therapists and for training programs to facilitate such actualization. The chapter briefly reflects on the fluctuation of faith and doubt throughout life, the influence of being insiders versus outsiders, and managing power in hierarchical relationships.
