Rethinking Mental Health Through a Spiritual Lens
What if the way we understand mental health is incomplete?
Exploring what psychology and neuroscience reveal about spiritual experience and what this may suggest about how we understand mental health.

Most approaches to mental health are grounded in psychological and biological frameworks.
These frameworks offer valuable insight into how we think, feel, and behave. They have also contributed significantly to how mental health is understood and treated.
At the same time, there are aspects of human experience that don’t sit neatly within them.
Experiences often described as spiritual or transcendent can have measurable effects on the brain, the nervous system, and overall mental health.
Research is beginning to document these effects more clearly.
What remains less clear is how to interpret them.
Are these experiences simply internal, neurobiological events?
Or do they point toward a broader context for understanding human life?
This session is an opportunity to explore that question in a structured and grounded way.
What This Session Explores
This is a focused exploration of key ideas, including:
What current research suggests about the neurobiology of spiritual experience
Observed effects on mental health, including depression, anxiety, addiction, and suicidality
How these findings are interpreted within existing psychological and scientific models
Where these models appear sufficient — and where they may fall short
What becomes visible when mental health is considered within a broader context
This session aims to explore the deeper question:
What changes when we view mental health through a broader, more integrative lens, that includes both science and spirituality?
In this 90 mins session, we will examine:
Where current models are effective, and where they begin to strain
The emerging scientific insights into spiritual experiences and the brain
How meaning, perception, and context influence what we label as 'disorder’
What becomes possible when we expand the frame, rather than reduce the experience
You will not be given rigid answers. But will leave with a clear more nuanced way of thinking about mental health.
Why This Matters
How we understand mental health shapes
how we treat it
how we relate to it
and how we experience ourselves within it
If the model is incomplete, the solutions will be too.
And in a time when many people are:
Questioning existing frameworks
Seeking deeper meaning
Or navigating experiences that don’t fit neatly into a diagnosis
This conversation becomes not just interesting, but necessary.
This is for you if:
You are interested in psychology, science, and spirituality
You find yourself questioning existing frameworks for understanding mental health
You are open to exploring these ideas without needing fixed conclusions
You are drawn to deeper questions around meaning, suffering, and human experience
About the Presenter
Hi, I’m Tatiana.
I’m a psychologist exploring the intersection of psychology, neuroscience, and spirituality.
Over almost 2 decades, I’ve worked within clinical frameworks while also deeply exploring the spiritual dimensions of human experience.
What became increasingly clear is that these two worlds are not separate, but often speak different languages to describe the same underlying reality.
This session is not about presenting a final answer. But rather it’s about opening a space where we can begin to examine the assumptions we’ve been working within, and consider what might exist beyond them.

This is not about adopting a new belief system. It’s about expanding the lens through which we understand the human experience. If you’ve felt that something doesn’t quite add up, or that there may be more to explore beyond the current models,
this space is for you.
