Descriere Self-Doubt: Depression, Anxiety Disorders, Panic, and Fear: Threshold Experiences, Crises of the Soul, and Healing on the Anthropo - Rudolf Steiner

\nSelections from various lectures 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 this 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 aid our development. Many forms of anxiety and self-doubt derive from such meetings on the border--or threshold--of consciousness. Furthermore, 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, according to Rudolf Steiner a condition of dissociation becomes increasingly common. A healthy emotional life will never be possible unless individuals engage in a conscious practice of personal self-development, strengthening their constitution through the action of one's I. The expertly selected and collated texts in Self-Doubt offer numerous cognitive and practical ideas for the improvement of everyday mental and emotional health. TOPICS INCLUDE: The origin of error, fear, and nervousness \nCrossing the threshold in the development of humanity and the individual \nThe polarity of shame and fear \nThe polarity of doubt and terrifying disorientation \nThe polarity of skepticism and claustrophobia, astraphobia, and agoraphobia \nThe origin of panic \nAnxiety \nThe multilayered nature of terrifying disorientation \nHealing aspects of the anthroposophic path of training \nThe spiritual-scientific qualities of fear compared with standardized diagnostic terms \nSelections from various lectures Mental and emotional disorders have reached epidemic levels in Western societies.
