Spiritual emergence, or emergency, is a period in one's life where a profound loss of self-identity occurs. The crisis could be prompted by a series of difficult life transitions or occur spontaneously through a mystical experience. Great fear, pain and anxiety can accompany this period, as well as waves of joy and inspiration. Sleep is often animated with intense dreaming. Disorientation and dis-identification are common. Therapy must address the physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions of this crisis. The final emergence includes major shifts in one's belief systems, emotional processing and relationships to body others, world and God. People often describe this process as a re-birth.
