Society of Psychotherapy on Anomalous Experiences
for
Mental Health Professionals
SPAE
The Society of Psychotherapy on Anomalous Experiences (SPAE) offers psychotherapists and social workers who wish to work with clients that report a spiritual crisis, mystical experiences, a near death experience, a paranormal event, or UFO encounter. The therapist must encounter his or her own paradigm shift to maneuver effectively with the experiencer.
Entering the Strange
Therapists are taught differently. The mental health system doesn't prepare us to address unusual phenomena. Yet it isn't just about "investigation" or "assessments". Therapist must embrace and dance with their own internal chaos or madness before facing clients who bring the strange to the table. Ask about the 12-week Entering the Strange Program for therapists.
Free Monthly Virtual Group
SPAE provides space to learn how to work with strange narratives while ensuring that the client can effectively function in his or her world. SPAE also encourages members to develop a critical form of thinking on mainstream psychiatry and psychology as it pertains to the mental suffering of the experiencer. The group meets virtually on the second Friday of each month from 12-1pm EST. Admission is free.
