This article focuses on religious healing experiences related to resources from Christian faith and practices and attachment theory. Qualitative interviews were conducted with nine informants. The results indicate that they perceived healing experiences as intense encounters with a loving, sensitive, external power with detailed insights into their burdens. The respondents interpreted the external power as the Christian God. They characterized these experiences as life-changing spurs to further healing processes. We suggest that these encounters can be understood as perceived experiences of God as an attachment-like figure. Earlier research on religious attachment showed that God is often approached as a safe haven in stressful times. Although there is less evidence implying that God is seen as a secure base or a starting point for new exploration, our respondents indicated that these experiences prompted new explorations of their lives, selves, others, and God. We discuss how healing experiences may provide a sense of earned security that changes insecure internal working models into more secure models and argue that this insight can be relevant in the field of pastoral care.

宗教治疗经验和获得的安全感

本文重点介绍与基督教信仰和实践以及依恋理论资源相关的宗教治疗经验。对九名知情人进行了定性访谈。结果表明，他们将治疗体验视为与充满爱心、敏感、外在力量的激烈接触，并详细了解他们的负担。受访者将外部力量解释为基督教的上帝。他们将这些经历描述为改变生活的刺激，以促进进一步的愈合过程。我们建议这些相遇可以理解为上帝作为一个依恋形象的感知体验。早期对宗教依恋的研究表明，在压力大的时候，人们往往把上帝当作避风港。尽管很少有证据表明上帝被视为新探索的安全基地或起点，我们的受访者表示，这些经历促使他们对自己的生活、自我、他人和上帝进行新的探索。我们讨论了治疗体验如何提供一种赢得安全感，将不安全的内部工作模式转变为更安全的模式，并认为这种见解在教牧关怀领域可能是相关的。
