Psychology /
Russian term or phrase: бытовая психотерапия
В быту люди часто встречаются с ситуацией, когда внешний мир влияет на него успокаивающим, снимающим стресс воздействием: задушевная и искренняя беседа с близким человеком, музыка, определенным образом влияющая на личность, в каком-то смысле ритуальный процесс, например, прием пищи, контакт со служителем культа и так далее. Все вышеперечисленное можно назвать и отнести к так называемой “бытовой психотерапии”.

non-professional therapy


Explanation:
another option

therapy rather than psychotherapy would tend to be used to refer to non-professional activities that assist people with their 'dushevniyi' problems.

it sounds quite formal but it is a way of distinguishing it/them from formal therapy sessions.

'everyday therapy' or similar sounds like 'standard therapy', i.e. not expensive Freudian therapy etc. and might not be readily understood by a native English person, though given the preceding text it should be clear.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you for your answer, the meaning is correct, but unfortunately, it doesn't quite fit the rest of the context...


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Susan Welsh: I'm not sure this is the best translation, but the meaning is correct. (My first reaction was "voodoo therapy.") I don't think this would be considered "real psychotherapy" by a professional. Of course the view of the author is different.

  -> Thanks Susan. I agree, it's not ideal but therapies is such a loaded word nowadays that people often associate it with wackiness.
agree  Sofia Gutkin: I agree that it might be a good idea to use "therapy" instead of "psychotherapy" to distinguish it from professional services.
