The revolution in mental healthcare begins by recognizing the profound potential of spiritual emergence as the next step towards human flourishing. Join the conversation with Emma Bragdon, Founder and Chair of Integrative Mental Health University (IMHU.org), as she details her journey, inspired by the holistic paradigm of care she observed in Brazilian spiritist psychiatric hospitals that attend to biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of health. Dr. Bragdon discusses how spiritual experiences are often misdiagnosed as psychosis—a "spiritual emergency"—and how IMHU is dedicated to filling the educational gaps for professionals so they can better support individuals' spiritual evolution and help them flourish.
