What is spiritual psychosis? How can we help ourselves avoid it and recognize it in ourselves? Those are the questions we'll be discussing today with Victoria! Victoria brings a grounded and educated approach to spirituality and the topic of spiritual psychosis. We discuss how conspiracy theories and spirituality overlap, establishing a healthy baseline for ourselves, and recognizing when we've dug ourselves too deep into our own spiritual points of views.
