What is Spiritual Crisis, Spiritual Emergency and Spiritual Emergence?
A spiritual crisis can be described as a turbulent period of spiritual opening and transformation.
Spiritual crisis is also referred to as spiritual emergency, where a process of spiritual emergence, or awakening, becomes unmanageable for the individual.
A person may experience psychological or mental health difficulties. Hence the term psycho-spiritual crisis is also used sometimes.
"So Afraid", by Jennifer Elam
If understood and supported appropriately, these experiences can be deeply transformative, offering the possibility of breakthrough rather than breakdown.
