Faith-Based Counseling

The writer: I enjoy talking to my coworkers about psychology; it's interesting. In the past, two coworkers had a severe argument over email about their ideas that led to both of us learning a lot more about how religion and faith are connected. We looked through it and decided that it meets all the requirements of the article. And even our own scientific style. People believed that religion and psychology would guide them, which is why many turn to Faith-Based Counseling for support and harmony.

People always see them as two extremes because they can only choose one. Or sees the possibility of bringing these two pathways of self-fulfillment together. Is the person free, or does someone have orders for that item. The research focus is to find out how psychology and religious beliefs work together in a person's life. Do we say that one is more important than the other, or do we say that they are equal? How do they survive without each other in a person and what is their relationship? These kinds of questions are very popular right now in the psychiatric field.

These are the most important ideas for both religious psychologists (F.E. Vasiluk, L.F. Shekhovtsova, K.V. Yatskevich) and persons who are quite materialistic but also understand that religious faith is a part of reality. The investigation into the link between psychology and religious faith will take the form of a conversation, a dialogue, or a discussion between two psychology experts, one of whom is a bright ex-genesis who holds the Orthodox faith and is connected to the Orthodox methodology.

The method used was discourse, which lets you not only say that something exists, but also make something new. M.N. S.N. Plotnikova says that humanitarian technologies, which include discourse, are generally seen as new ideas in the humanities. The projective-transformative activity of changing culture and producing reality is also recognized [4, 73]. In this context, psychology refers to a person's psychological knowledge, how they use that knowledge in their own life and in relation to others, their experience with psychological practices, and how they might improve their own attributes through psychology.

When we learn about a religion, we should follow the definition presented by Professor A.I. Osipov of the Moscow Theological Academy: There are two parts to religion: the outside and the inner."From the outside, religion is mostly a way of looking at the world that gives a series of statements (truths) in relation to. Religion is "the direct contact with God" on the inside [3].

Angelika Mersiyanova. People have been able to learn about psychology for more than a hundred years. This was the first time they had organized knowledge and the first time they used psychotherapy. Psychology is now a part of every family's life, with articles, books, therapists' offices, seminars, trainings, and webinars. But has the world become a better place.

However, I can also say that there are times when this is true for a specific situation, but the person as a whole is likely to be affected by negative factors. In these ways, psychology is offering programs and tools for personal growth, resilience, and the development of a person's full potential [2]. Most of them aren't very successful, and can they give society the right amount of mentally healthy people? In other words, do people have enough psychological knowledge and strength?

Elena Malakhova. People have vastly different views on both psychological knowledge and psychological practice these days. We can see that the professional lines are getting blurred in the public mind through examples of these kinds of exaggerated, unrealistic attitudes. Too much dislike and too much praise of psychology are like the lines that separate the reflexive and soulful parts of a person's psyche.

That being said, the idea of the human spirit is ubiquitous in our civilization's culture. Spirit isn't only a religious thing; it's something we witness every day in the way we realize or exhibit the most important human attributes. We everyone have the chance to pursue spiritual fulfillment, how can we say that someone has grown when they haven't even reached their full potential? Materialistic humanitarians want to help people reach their ideal by saying, "A person is an ideal; he/she just needs therapy to reach this ideal."

But in the end, perfection would be limitless. But any Human therapy that is founded on the idea of human perfection runs into the problem of mortality. The contradiction leads to the idea of accepting what is inevitable being added to the theoretical foundations of the psychological approach. So, people admit that they are not perfect, which means that the main premise of human perfection is not true. Then there are a lot of beliefs and practices on how to make ends meet. These methods act on both a physical and a restricted psychological level. Psychology still supports the idea of human perfection; if it fails, we will lose what is known as the organizing peak.
