Emma Bragdon, Ph.D. On Spiritism

Are we limiting our mental health toolkit? In a world focused on “symptoms and medications,” Dr. Emma Bragdon introduces a structured, community-based path to wellness: Spiritism. Founded by Allan Kardec and widely practiced in Brazil, Spiritism blends spirituality with ethical practice and study. In this conversation, we explore how it reframes certain mental health experiences, provides ethical guardrails for mediums, and reflects a growing interest in spirituality within mental health—recognized even by the American Psychiatric Association. If traditional care feels incomplete, this episode explores how integrating spirituality may support deeper healing and human potential.undefined
