Only the Orthodox Church cures the human soul

The therapeutic treatment is one and only. There are not many therapies for the human nous out there; only one: the very therapy offered by the Orthodox Church! There are 120 so-called therapies that get around in this world and are being offered by those so-called psychiatrists and psychologists (excuse me; this is an expression by St. Porphyrios), at least here in Greece.

Yes, you heard right: 120 different "psychotherapies" circulate today here in Greece! This fact is just enough for somebody to figure out that there is no therapy at all to be found in those systems and "psychiatric stores", because, if there had been one, there would not have been necessarily 120 methods offered out there! It would have been only one and sufficient. Wherever we see many drugs and many methods, allegedly curing the same disease, it means we have no effective therapy in our hands, it means we actually do not know the right treatment.

The so-called psychiatrists and psychotherapists-psychologists do not even know what our soul is.

I would have to admit that their ignorance on how to cure the human soul is absolutely justifiable, because they absolutely have no idea about the human soul. Only our Church knows. Only our Holy Fathers know what our soul is, and this only as much as our All-wise God allows them to.

Our so-called worldly psychiatrists never talk and do not know anything about the purification of our nous. We can find this out very easily, if we study the "psychotherapies" of today. Not to mention, even the term "psychotherapy", the way it is used by most of the people today, is in fact wrong; it is a ridiculous term for the meaning of the real healing of the soul. The same counts for psychiatry and psychology; they are both ridiculing terms of the scientific specialty they claim to represent, because all of the persons serving those specialties do not even know what the human soul is. How can they possibly cure something they do not know anything about?

If we study all the relevant dictionaries or the psychology books, we will nowhere find anything written about what our soul is. There is no given definition about our soul in those books or just a very general descriptive definition. What they actually refer to is our behavior, and all the so-called psychotherapeutic methods are actually systems that aim to control and correct our behavior. What they can offer to the patient is just a superficial relief; they are not methods for the therapy of the soul and none of them actually even touches on our very soul!
