THE SACRED IN PSYCHOSIS
&
PSYCHOSIS-LIKE EXPERIENCES
Psychosis-Like
Mainstream psychiatry debunks anything that comes from the immaterial. Mystic experiences, ancestral connections, and visitations from above are very real to many cultural and spiritual traditions. Sometimes they can give off the vibe that it is some psychotic episode. But is it?
A New Therapy
Body Mind Metaphor offers a more egalitarian method that honors cultural and spiritual diversity, makes room for the unexplainable experiences of human experience, and empowers the client. In addition, it provides safe space for epistemological relativity. In other words, therapy adjusts to your understanding of reality and not the other way around.
Hearing Voices
Some courageous men and women have found a way to relate to their voices in a most compassionate way. Traditional psychiatry calls for the elimination of any 'hallucination'. But what if such experiences can carry potential transformation as Carl G. Jung did with Philemon? And that with the help of community, clergy, or therapist?
