Spiritual Emergency: What the Papers Don’t Tell You Catherine G Lucas When ex-MI5 agent David Shayler declared himself to be the next Messiah, the media zoomed in on him. But missed the point. This kind of ego inflation is much maligned, yet little understood. It is one of the classic features of spiritual emergency. In this guest blog I’d like to share a way of understanding the phenomenon.
First, let me explain the term ‘spiritual emergency’. |

I‘d grown up in a in a dysfunctional family and I married an abusive man. I found the courage to leave the marriage and after a breakdown lasting a few weeks I returned to work. With hindsight, bottling up my emotions was wrong. In time my levels of anxietyrocketed and I became agitated, leading to psychosis. I was living alone and it was a week before anyone realised. |

Monday, 21 November 2011 Are we really creating awareness if we just say 'yes I'm fine'? I just read a post by a good online friend(one I have been lucky enough to also meet in real life albeit over a year ago), the lovely Clive Edwards. I was going to just share his blog on my facebook wall but whilst writing a comment to go with it I realised that this is an issue I have more than a few words to say about. It is about an issue I have come across in my personal life, my friends lives and also as an issue in conversation to do with fighting the stigma of mental distress in society and discrimination about mental health issues. |

Healing the gut for good mental health — probiotics Probiotics are catching on in the mainstream as seen here in the Los Angeles Times. Why am I mentioning it here? What does it have to do with withdrawal and mental health. Everything.The first thing I did when I started researching natural care for mental health was come upon anecdotal evidence again and again about how gut health effects mental health. If you don’t digest your food properly you don’t nourish your brain properly. |
