Integrating Advaita Philosophy Into Humanistic Counseling With Refugees and Civilian Survivors of War

ABSTRACT This article examines the integration of Advaita philosophy (AP) within humanistic counseling practices for refugees and civilian survivors of war. Grounded in a non‐dual understanding of self and existence, AP offers a holistic approach that addresses psychological, emotional, and spiritual suffering. This approach aligns with humanistic values of wholeness, meaning‐making, and inner freedom. By transcending dualistic and pathologizing models, AP supports resilience, self‐inquiry, and long‐term psychological healing through the cultivation of presence and interconnectedness.
