Hello Forum,
Has anybody read the book by Bp. Hierotheos Vlahos called Orthodox Psychotherapy? I did and it's amazing. I really recommend it. He gets into detail about the state of our souls with plenty of quotes from the holy fathers and the Holy Bible. It is definitely based on Orthodox tradition. To me, it's like a workbook. What I read was not just to read for intellectual sake but to put into practice. And I came to better understand the writings of the holy fathers because they didn't explain it step by step but gave the spiritual meaning, in it's essence. Many times I felt that their words were kind of cryptic. Now when I read them, I can understand what they were referring to. Maybe it's just me, but his explanations clarified many things.
