The concept of a spiritual worldview incorporates religion and spiritually, as well as many other philosophical or popular beliefs and reference point that make assumptions about the larger context of human existence. To many people, their worldview is the most important thing in their lives with seceding role in directing behavior, guiding attitude to health, work and relationship; and strongly influencing how they regard themselves and others. As a professional nurse, I put aside my personal religious views and not to apply them to the patient’s life. In life, it is not a must to agree on either religious views, political or taste of music to come into terms.

Thinking about religion and spirituality, as dimensions of a person’s spiritual worldview helps us to be responsive to the complex and diverse ways in which people personalize their beliefs. This means we are less likely to make assumptions about their needs, wishes, and practices based on a generalized term on their admission paperwork (Park, Currier, Harris, & Slattery, 2017).Furthermore, understanding the patient’s worldview helps us to develop a better understanding the patient’s worldview helps us to develop a better understanding of the patient and their complex; assists in the collaborative dialogue that encourages patients to commit to treatment regimens and healthy-living practices; lets patients know that we are concerned with the whole person; lastly, helps us support spiritual patients to tap into resources that they contribute to improved coping and wellbeing. If I were in a position that I couldn’t make my own decision and the individual that I have designated as my health proxy was not present to make decisions on my behalf.

When it comes to facilitating spiritual care with worldviews that are different from my own, my strengths are that I have discussed spirituality and religiosity with my patients in my initial assessment so I am already aware of any needs or desires they may have.  If they have a different perspective than mine, I discuss the specifics of what they expect if the situation arises where spirituality needs to be considered.  If I am unfamiliar with their desires, I research it at the earliest opportunity and then revisit it to be sure that we are on the same page.  Over the years, my patients have educated me more than any other source and that education of different spirituality, religions, and cultures is something I pack away in my tool box for use again.

My weakness, in regards to spiritual care, is that I want to do everything I can to save or preserve a life, and at times, patients do not agree, so I have to respect their wishes. 
It’s truly difficult to accept the desires of a Jehovah witness new mom who is hemorrhaging and refusing blood.  My belief is that God wants me to do everything I can to ensure survival of both mom and baby.  When a mother is clearly in danger of losing her life but stands firm in her decision to refuse blood, I struggle with holding my tongue and pray for a quick intervention.  I have seen this situation go both ways and I will never understand a person who chooses to accept death that easily when life is so easily maintained, however, I continue to respect that is a part of their belief system.

                                                             Main Post

According to neuroscience, psychotherapy is purely biological treatment. Psychotherapy addresses the way the brain develops, matures and functions. It bases its operations on the principles of both genetics and evolutionary adaptation of the brain. In its applications, psychotherapy aims at deactivating maladaptive mappings of the brain and instils positive and constructive pathways (Javanbakht and Alberini, 2019). It doesn’t act or involve one receptor or molecules and few modulators rather it interacts with all biological phenomena involving complex, interconnected responses of the brain. The profession deals with aligning the whole organism in the constructive pathways and thus must understand the biological principles playing on the organism. For instance, understanding g the functions of the brain are biological. (Fournier and Price, 2014). As the trillions of neurons connect, they map human experiences and memories. Neuronal connections form a large network of circuits in cortex, which collects and define human experiences in consciousness. The conscience forms symbolic forms in the brain. Psychotherapy is coherent with the genetics of individuals. It deals with the troublesome adjustments of the brain in a sequence of their evolution. Psychotherapy shuts down the mismanaged brain mappings and helps the brain to develop new constructive pathways. Our brain keeps track of our memories through a complex neuronal network that has billions and trillions of nervous connections. Interconnected loops of neurons make huge circuits that track and map in the structure of the cortex. As the environments change, all experiences are mapped in the brain as memories (Wheeler, 2014).

 Explain HOW Culture, Religion, and Socioeconomics might influence one’s perspective of the value of Psychotherapy Treatments.

 Culture has a strong impact on our interactions. Culture has a role in our understanding of health and the phenomenon of healing. Culture has a constructive role in framing assumptions within the psychotherapy experience. Different cultures perceive psychotherapy in different ways. In conventional psychotherapy experience, people have a social behavior of discussing their matters with a skilled professional. It involves mutual understanding, confidence, vulnerability, and the probability of change. The basics of psychotherapy in western culture emphasizes independence and self-development.

 Clients to process information and shape judgments use religions and spiritual beliefs. Religion has a major moral impact on behavior, emotions, thought processes, feelings, and experiences that are interconnected with the psychotherapy Knowledge into religion beliefs of the client is therefore important in driving therapeutic. A good therapeutic practice should promote good religious values, which will in turn promote positive belief system, mobilize hope and boost coping abilities of the client. This increase recovery progress and thus success (Holttum, 2014).

 Various aspects of socio-economic status (SES) affect psychotherapeutic success. Clinical reaction based on the socio-economic condition of individuals was not much explained in past but recent studies have proven the impact. The socioeconomic status of the patient has a role to change the perception of both patients himself and psychotherapist. The class or economic condition can affect of the patient’s active issues, main concerns, symptoms of condition and prognosis of ongoing psychotherapy. Clients treatment expectancy; offer social support which are key in overall predicting the client’s positive changes psychotherapeutic sessions.
