Publisher's Summary

Many people are undergoing a profound personal transformation associated with spiritual opening. Under favorable circumstances, this process results in emotional healing, a radical shift in values, and a profound awareness of the mystical dimension of existence. For some, these changes are gradual and relatively smooth, but for others they can be so rapid and dramatic that they interfere with everyday functioning, creating tremendous inner turmoil. Unfortunately, many traditional healthcare professionals do not recognize the positive potential of these crises; they often see them as manifestations of mental disease and respond with stigmatizing labels, suppressive drugs, and even institutionalization.

In The Stormy Search for the Self, Christina and Stanislav Grof, the world's foremost authorities on the subject of spiritual emergence, draw on years of dramatic personal and professional experience with transformative states to explore these "spiritual emergencies," altered states so powerful they threaten to overwhelm the individual's ordinary reality. This book will provide insights, assurances, and practical suggestions for those who are experiencing or have experienced such a crisis, for their families and friends, and for mental-health professionals. It is also a valuable guide for anyone whose experiences, though untraumatic, may still be disorienting.

Great and very insightful and powerful book!

I love the book ❤️🙌
Very thorough, insightful, empowering, helpful, in depth - book about personal transformation and psychedelics.
One BIG MINUS - the narrator.... 😬
I really struggled and almost didn't make it through, the voice is so jarring my ears and my head are crying 😭 She sounds like one of my back-in-the-day techno favorites. I really do NOT understand the choice of voice here.... Painful!
