Fragmentation, invalidation and spirituality: Personal experiences of psychosis – ethical, research and clinical implications

I was 150 per cent convinced it was spiritual voices. Then I get told by the teacher it was not. Then I get told one minute it’s a psychotic breakdown. Then I get told you’re not hearing them. Then I get told it’s your own mind talking to itself. Then I get told it’s your higher self. I don’t know quite frankly what to believe. You know, do I have to keep coming here every time I hear what I think is a spiritual voice?
