🌱 Are you seeking a grounded, psychologically informed way to understand spiritual awakening and spiritual crisis? This upcoming online workshop, led by Emma Bragdon, offers a thoughtful and practical introduction to a field that is particularly suited to therapists, coaches, healthcare professionals, and anyone working at the intersection of psychology, spirituality, and human development.

Throughout the workshop, participants will explore:

* What spiritual awakening and spiritual crisis are, and how they can be understood safely and accurately.
* The wide range of awakening phenomena and how they may present.
* How to recognize these experiences in oneself, loved ones, or clients.
* What awakening and crisis feel like from the inside, and how they may appear from the outside.
* How to assess situations carefully and offer appropriate, ethical support.
* Common catalysts for spiritual awakening, and why such experiences are becoming more frequent.
* How to care for others in spiritual crisis, while also caring for oneself as a support person.

With decades of experience as a licensed psychotherapist, writer, and educator, Emma brings depth, clarity, and compassion to the complex territory of spiritual emergence and crisis. Check out a one hour open house introducing Emma's course:
