Tasawuf Sebagai Terapi Psikologi : Studi Kasus Penyembuhan Mental Antara Psikoterapi Sufistik dan Hipnoterapi di Qolbun Salim Ma’had Aly Idrisiyyah Tasikmalaya

Abstract

This article is motivated by the rising prevalence of mental health issues that require healing approaches addressing not only the psychological but also the spiritual dimension. Tasawuf (Sufism), as the spiritual dimension of Islam, is viewed as offering methods for inner healing through Sufi psychotherapy. This study aims to analyze Tasawuf as a form of psychological therapy by comparing Sufi psychotherapy and hypnotherapy in the context of mental healing at Qolbun Salim, Ma’had Aly Idrisiyyah, Tasikmalaya. The study employs a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data collection techniques included observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that Sufi psychotherapy is conducted through dzikr (remembrance of God), muraqabah (spiritual vigilance), spiritual guidance, and tazkiyatun nafs (purification of the soul), all aimed at achieving inner peace and closeness to God. Meanwhile, hypnotherapy utilizes suggestion and relaxation techniques to influence the patient's subconscious mind. While both methods share the goal of facilitating mental healing, they differ in their approaches, sources of values, and therapeutic orientations. The study concludes that Tasawuf makes a significant contribution as a holistic psychological therapy, as it addresses the spiritual, emotional, and moral aspects of the human being.
