Distinguishing between psychosis and spiritual experience

In my work, a clear and responsible distinction between spiritual experiences and psychotic states is particularly important to me. Spiritual processes can involve intense perceptions and expansions of consciousness. Crucially, however, the person affected must remain fundamentally oriented, able to reflect on their experience, and capable of functioning in everyday life.

Psychotic states, on the other hand, are often accompanied by a significant loss of touch with reality, profound insecurity, and impaired self-control. In such cases, psychiatric and psychotherapeutic support is necessary. My work is intended to be complementary and presupposes that psychological stability is ensured.

A responsible approach to spiritual matters therefore always means taking mental health seriously. The goal is to guide spiritual experiences in such a way that they promote development without jeopardizing the stability of the personality.
