Development of the spiritual potential of the personality using positive psychotherapy

Abstract

The article highlights scientific approaches to the development of the spiritual sphere of the individual. Spiritual potential is considered as an internal resource of a person, which determines his ability to self-discovery, development, self-improvement and interaction with higher values and meanings. It includes emotional, intellectual, spiritual, moral, cultural and ethical aspects that contribute to the awareness of oneself and one's place in the world. The expediency of using the method of positive psychotherapy for the formation, development and correction of the spiritual sphere of the individual is substantiated. The specifics of using the method of positive psychotherapy for the spiritual development of the individual are revealed, and examples of techniques that a psychologist can use in working with a client are given. In the method of positive psychotherapy, spiritual potential is activated through a focus on human resources, the development of harmony, awareness of values and the meaning of life, through the practice of self-reflection. The main components of positive psychotherapy are: Positum-approach based on the principle of hope for a positive solution to any problem; psychodynamic differential analysis of the content of conflicts, based on the principle of balance of actual and basic abilities to “know” and “love”; five-step strategy of psychotherapeutic assistance based on the principle of self-help. For the harmonization and spiritual development of a person, it is recommended to use the methods and techniques of positive psychotherapy, which are aimed at the development of self-understanding and acceptance, awareness of one's potential, prospects for development and spiritual self-improvement. The method is aimed at teaching the creation of the future through conscious acceptance of everyday circumstances. Accepting full responsibility for his life allows the client to take concrete actions to transform his own reality. Positive psychotherapy helps a person understand how he can actively influence his life, change his habits and attitudes to achieve harmony and develop spiritual potential.
