Shrinking Heads - Episode 17 - Sacred Paths and Clinical Maps: Spiritual Awareness in the Diagnostic Wilderness

Sometimes, what looks like delusion in one culture is divine connection in another — and if we’re not careful, our diagnostic machete can hack away at someone’s sacred roots. In this episode, we venture deep into the undergrowth of spirituality, culture, and clinical judgment.We’ll talk about how to tell when a “calling” isn’t a crisis, why burning sage isn’t always a red flag, and how to avoid confusing ancestral guidance with auditory hallucinations. Grab your compass (and maybe a little cultural humility), because this one’s about learning to listen before labeling.
