[Infidelity Therapy] The difference between religious activities and proper treatment when suffering from spouse infidelity
Some people get confused between religious activities and proper treatment. For example, they would ask, “If shouldn't develop dependency on religion, can't I go to church, read the Bible, or pray while I am taking the treatment program?”
Of course you can do all of them. However, you must not use religion to avoid pain and find temporary comfort justifying yourself. Then, you are more likely to aggravate post traumatic stress instead of properly treating it.
Developing dependency on religion is not living a healthy life of faith. You cannot and should not cover up your problems of habits of psychology with religion. As you treat post traumatic stress properly, you will be able to consolidate your religious beliefs. Then, your religious activities can be beneficial for your health and happiness in a true sense. However, when you go to church to meet people and share wounds with them forming personal relationships, you can be put in danger of destroying yourself and others. In that case, you are going to church not for the life of faith but for getting attention and consolation from people.

Human mind has the mechanism of its operation, and problems necessarily develop in habits of psychology when it is operated in distorted ways. You can restore healthy psychology only when you accurately understand the operational mechanism of human mind and psychology, and make efforts accordingly.
