Depression, Anxiety Disorders, Panic and Fear. Threshold experiences,
crises of the soul and healing on the anthroposophical path
Mental and emotional disorders have reached epidemic levels in Western
societies. Self-doubt, panic-attacks, anxiety disorders and personal
fears of all kinds present major challenges to contemporary medical
science. Rudolf Steiner's spiritual research offers a startlingly
original and complementary contribution to the problem. True insight
into psychological issues requires knowledge of the influences of
spiritual beings, he suggests. In everyday life we are all confronted
with metaphysical entities that can hinder or progress our
development. Many forms of anxiety and self-doubt derive from such
meetings on the border – or threshold – of our consciousness. Further,
these 'threshold experiences' are exacerbated today by a general
loosening of the subtle bodies and components of the human soul.As
these constitutional changes persist, says Rudolf Steiner, a condition
of 'dissociation' becomes increasingly common. A healthy emotional
life will only be possible if individuals engage in a conscious
practice of personal growth, strengthening their constitution through
the action of the 'I' or self. The expertly selected and collated
texts in Self-Doubt offer numerous cognitive and practical ideas for
the improvement of everyday mental and emotional health.Chapters
include: The origin of error, fear, and nervousness; Crossing the
threshold in the development of humanity and the individual; The
polarity of shame and fear; The polarity of doubt and terrifying
disorientation; The polarity of scepticism and claustrophobia,
astraphobia, and agoraphobia; The origin of panic; Anxiety; The
multi-layered nature of terrifying disorientation; Healing aspects of
the anthroposophical path of training; The spiritual-scientific
qualities of fear compared with standardized diagnostic terms and as a
basis for therapy.
