if you don't ask about spiritual experiences the client will not share them, for fear of being thought to be hallucinating, or simply to be "weird". Not every person who needs support with spiritual awakening is able to identify and ask for that support. Without the benefit of a spiritual path that provides a paradigm and normalization of the experience of awakening and the transformation process that takes place after awakening, many individuals present with what they are assuming are either psychological crises, or total confusion about what has started to happen to them. It is essential to be able to identify the awakening experience and the "symptoms" that follow it and then bring the mental and emotional reactions to this into perspective, before assigning a DSM diagnosis! In some very complicated cases, both exist. There may be a clear psychiatric diagnosis and a clear experience of spiritual awakening. In such cases, the task becomes one of finding a balance in working with both the psychiatric symptoms and the spiritual experiences in a way that brings about healing and spiritual development.
