Which tool to use and when: psychotherapy or spiritual practice?
Manage episode 329566317 series 3354611
In this conversation with Integral psychotherapist Mark Forman we explore the differences between psychotherapy and spiritual practice and the specific contexts when each of these methods is most appropriate. For example your meditation practice may bring up psychological issues that your meditation teacher will likely be unqualified to help you with and you would get more effective help from a psychotherapist. If you are having transpersonal experiences with meditation or psychedelics then a psychotherapist may not have the relevant skills to unpack them. Unfortunately many spiritual traditions and teachers claim that meditation and psychedelics are the complete answer to everything in your life, and lots of ‘spiritual’ people wreck their personal and family lives by neglecting psychotherapy. On the other hand if you only explore psychotherapy then it’s likely you will never tap into the depths of experiences beyond your personality that are brought forth by spiritual practices.
