Oct 26, 2023
49:33

Dr. Lisa Miller is the author of The Awakened Brain: The Psychology of Spirituality. She is founder of the Spirituality Mind Body Institute at Columbia University and has authored over 100 peer-reviewed articles on spirituality and mental health in youth and family. She is also the former President of the American Psychological Association’s (APA) Society of Psychology & Spirituality, and editor of The Oxford University Press Handbook of Psychology & Spirituality and Editor-in-Chief of the APA journal Spirituality in Clinical Practice.

Here she and Dawson enthusiastically share their insights on:

  • We’re born with a natural state of spiritual awareness
  • Spirituality is ⅓ innate, and ⅔ culturally formed
  • Everyone has an awakened brain naturally
  • Dr. Miller’s research
  • Depression
  • Tsai’s study of 3,000 vets with PTSD
  • How trauma can expand our ability for love and forgiveness
  • Why our culture has no road map for these spiritual growth spurts
  • The different questions we ask ourselves at each life stage
  • Seeing that often the awakening takes the form of an existential crisis
  • You can access the transcendent through service, meditation, nature, other ways
