No. Psychology is the study of how the human brain processes information based on previous experiences, and expectations. It's pattern is Perceive, Identify, Act. In most cases spirituality is the result of an active choice and comes after the processing of information (Act). The processing has to happen first before the brain can identify spiritual components and choose to acknowledge them or not. Though both can be Influenced by Cultural environment, Spirituality is a choice not A built-in process, the same way that anger or fear are a choice, or Reaction to an experience. (edited)

No. Psychology is a science, with many parallel approaches. It's 'trying to reach' an understanding of mental 'things', not exclusively on humans. Spirituality is not a science, even has no formal definition. It also has different approaches (beliefs, religions etc.), depending on what you mean under the term. What it's 'trying to reach' also depends on these. I also think it's more focused on humans.

Little "triad" test

Would you pass the test too ? (Link in the comments, not sure if it will be available) Honestly, I don't have a solid faith in charity. Instead of giving money, I'd rather share a meal, or give a helping hand directly.🤷‍♂️ (Which already happened when I could, years ago... )

Re-evaluation

Time to take another look at what I've been doing. It seems that everything I have done was for nothing. I still keep repeating the same patterns and people get hurt. I have to stop deluding myself and finally do something about this. It's already cost too much

Feeling extremely bad and lonely for some reason. Only thing I have ever learnt in this life is no matter how much you crave, nobody has an obligation to provide that warmth to you. It's not a bad realisation, it just feels that way to be on the receiving end of it. (edited)

Reposted from someone else and i posted about this before.

No, people do value and appreciate these things. The only problem is that you expect people to appreciate YOU for those things. You base your identity too much on traits that are considered good and feel entitled to get a reward. Now, i see many women complain about the “nice guys”. How they... read more

Not sure what's worse, knowing why your sad and not knowing how to soothe. Or knowing how to soothe but not knowing why your sad?🤔🤔🤔

What are the practical tools and techniques people use to manage the symptoms of PTSD day-to-day?

Are there specific apps, exercises, routines, or ways of thinking that help people feel better and stay functional despite the trauma? I don't need personal stories, just looking for practical implementation ideas. . Thanks

Much of what we feel arises not from reality itself, but from the mind’s tendency to imagine and elaborate on internal states. 😮‍💨
