Do you know that almost all psychological difficulties can be resolved in 1-2 sessions with an experienced psychologist, or do you think that a psychological problem is something completely incomprehensible and needs to be worked on for months or even years ? Many people think so. This, among other things, is facilitated by the psychological services market, which offers long-term courses of psychological and psychotherapeutic assistance.
And most people don’t even think about how to somehow influence their psychological issues, which seems rather strange. If a faucet is leaking at home or some other problem has arisen, you’ll probably try to fix it quickly so you don’t experience any inconvenience. But if you’re constantly preoccupied with feelings of guilt, insecurity, resentment, or aggression toward others, then you don’t do anything about it, believing it to be normal. But this phenomenon is not normal!
Oleg Gadetsky, psychologist, candidate of philosophical sciences, rector of the Institute of Values-Oriented Psychology, head of the modality of Values-Oriented Psychology and Psychotherapy at the All-Russian League for Professional Psychotherapy (OPPL), told the portal Inc-News information about the differences between values-based psychology and traditional approaches.
- The traditional approach is based on the assumption that a psychological problem is something bad, that is, it is a functional disorder of the human psyche and therefore must to be influenced so that, as they say, it “does not exist”. The approach is not new. In classical medicine, this is how the disease is treated. In CSP, a person is not seen in isolation from the outside world. See how everything is harmoniously arranged in nature – all types of life interact with each other and form an integral system, where there is nothing superfluous. But even if you have never thought about how the universe works, then intuitively you still constantly rely on understanding the reasonableness and necessity of everything that happens in your life. For example, if you inadvertently put the blade of a knife on your finger and put pressure on it, pain will occur. Skin receptors tell us that we are doing something wrong. Reacting to a pain signal, we withdraw our hand and thus prevent it from being cut. We are equally careful with fire. We know how to stay away from him when he gets too strong. It would never occur to anyone to eliminate the pain of the skin so that it does not react when a knife blade presses on it or when a flame burns it.

How does values-based psychology help solve problems?
A psychological problem is not something harmful, on the contrary, it acts as a useful feedback from life, which shows a person that he is doing wrong deeds. With this approach, a completely different attitude to problematic emotions emerges. Instead of fighting them, you need to know exactly what they want to communicate.
Many people have a negative attitude towards unpleasant experiences and subconsciously want to eliminate them. This is precisely the greatest difficulty of psychological practice. Blocked and rejected emotions form deep psychological issues that cause a person a lot of problems.
What happens after a person comes into contact with “pent up emotions”?
- When feelings are accepted, a message of life for a person is revealed in them. And it always comes down to the need for inner transformation. Living through psychological difficulties shows a person what false limiting qualities and attitudes they are stuck in. And also, what other qualities and new attitudes he must develop. It is amazing how psychological counseling using the CSP method reveals such a task again and again. It is as if life itself sees to it that a person develops and does not remain stuck in his limits.
And an even more amazing thing is that the limitations that are shown to a person are always associated with one or another of the lower character traits, such as insecurity, desire to dominate, envy, greed , the feeling of being a victim. And the qualities that need to be developed are fundamentally moral and spiritual in nature. These include qualities such as determination, determination, caring and sensitivity towards others, altruism, acceptance of one’s deepest values, respect for both one’s inner world and the another person’s inner world.
COP therapy provides us with a very effective methodology to understand the causes of the difficulties that arise in a person’s life. When a person in the course of COP therapy discovers his inner lesson, then already at this stage the problem is largely solved. Instead, there is clarity and enthusiasm to act in a new way.

What is the purpose of COP therapy?
The task of CSP therapy is not to eliminate the problem, but to help a person reveal his potential. Therefore, when a person has realized his lesson, he must now draw up a plan of action through which he will master his new qualities.
As a result, the problem is not only reduced, it completely disappears. But even that is not the final effect. As a result of COP therapy, a person harmonizes his relationship with life. And so, he begins to improve in various other areas.
Can you give an example of the result of a COP therapy?
For example, you arrived with a problem of exaggerated feelings of jealousy or guilt, and as a result of working with these difficulties, your financial situation improves, you get married or get married, you receive a profitable job offer and you stop taking insomnia medication because your sleep has improved on its own. Do you think it’s fantasy? It’s not fantasy. These are real stories of people, there are hundreds and thousands of them. And a whole institute of values-oriented psychology has already emerged, in which thousands of people from different countries of the world study.
As soon as a person, instead of trying to get rid of his lessons, begins to consciously work with them, suddenly reality seems to turn towards him with his positive side, and instead of the limitations and problems that were in his life, opportunities and perspectives open up to him.
DSP technology helps a person to reveal their potential, and does so on a spiritual and moral basis. And this means that such a person will spread creative energy, acting for the benefit of others. The more such people there are in society, the more the positive potential of the social environment will be revealed. It will become truly beneficial to everyone.
