How to deal with workplace stress: a Sufist psychotherapy approach

Abstract

Islam shows that because the materialistic and hedonistic life currently characterising modernity only emphasises the physical aspects of life, spiritual aridity, moral decadence and stress will become a commonplace phenomena in human life. At a saturation point of hedonism, humans will seek spiritual freshness to satisfy their spiritual thirst and happiness. Many of them may look into the world of mysticism. Hence, this paper attempts to provide a new approach to deal with stress in the workplace inspired by a Sufist idea. This idea arises from the belief that spiritual values and habits as therapeutic elements play a significant role in shaping adolescent psychology and more intact personalities. The authors recommend the use of Sufistic psychotherapy for enhancing mental health or dealing with psycho-somatic conditions such as stress and anxiety.
