Religion is also psychotherapy.
I love talking to clients about religion. It's such a fascinating story, you may not even suspect it. Sometimes I'm annoyed that this topic comes up so rarely. After all, the religion and faith of a particular person is simply an endless field for exploring his psychic reality.
I am not a religious person at all in the generally accepted sense. Yes, Hinduism attracts me, but I cannot call myself an adherent of this religion. Despite this, I was very interested in various religious movements, read scriptures, both Christian and Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu and others, up to Blavatsky. And this, you know, is very developing reading, if you perceive all these texts as metaphorical philosophical material, comprehend, choose - how can you apply all this to the current reality.
We should not forget that religion for a person should first of all be a conscious choice and a method for achieving spiritual growth and psychological maturity. However, in reality, things often turn out quite differently.
