Abstract

So that in the long term this situation can lead to mental and spiritual instability if not managed properly, such as stress, boredom, anger, anxiety, pessimism in facing life and others. This impact was felt by the participants of ‘Sekolah Ibu’ as the guardian of the community in their area, especially in household resilience. To maintain mental-spiritual balance, an understanding and coaching effort is needed, so this study is entitled “Psychotherapy with a Sufistic Approach as an Effort for Mental-Spiritual Development”.
