In Episode 52, Gregg welcomes back Bruce Alderman. Bruce is a philosopher and spiritual seeker who has deep knowledge of many Eastern traditions and Integral Theory, and he cohosts the Integral Stage with Layman. In this episode, Bruce shares with Gregg his perspective on psychology and psychotherapy. In particular, he emphasizes how his training in Ken Wilber's Integral theory and the transpersonal movement more generally aligned with his spiritual teachings and experiences to give him a perspective on "spiritual emergencies" that most mainstream approaches to psychotherapy are silent about. - - - 📘 Resources mentioned in this episode 📘 - - -Integral Psychotherapy (Ep. 6: The UTOK’s DSM, with Dr. Gregg Henriques) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQAc0jZCLMM Metamodern Spirituality | Integral Pluralism and Meta-Religion (w/ Bruce Alderman) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-ePhJTozgY&list=PLa_4sU5_wQrlw5b9oc1tDaziHyEqXUnl7&index=16 “10 Problems With Consciousness” –by Gregg Henriques – Psychology Today blog - https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/theory-knowledge/201812/10-problems-consciousness “The 11th Problem of Consciousness – Part I” by Gregg Henriques and John Vervaeke – Psychology Today blog - https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/theory-knowledge/202001/the-11th-problem-consciousness “The 11th Problem of Consciousness – Part II” by Gregg Henriques and John Vervaeke – Psychology Today blog - https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/theory-knowledge/202002/the-11th-problem-consciousness “Awakening from the Meaning Crisis” – John Vervaeke - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLND1JCRq8Vuh3f0P5qjrSdb5eC1ZfZwWJ “Integral Psychology: Consciousness, Spirit, Psychology, Therapy” – book by Ken Wilber - https://www.shambhala.com/integral-psychology-816.html  - - - ℹ️ Find out more about Bruce Alderman ℹ️ - - -Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bruce.alderman.14 Bruce on his work on Integral Grammatology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WvnbrKe_aU  previous UTOKing episodes with Bruce:Ep 3 | UTOKing with Bruce Alderman | Toward a Sacred Naturalism: https://youtu.be/cIhpQPeRdOg Ep 28 | UTOKing with Gregg | iQuad Coin Edition | with Bruce Alderman Part 1: https://youtu.be/sH3CMgRI5xo Ep 29 | UTOKing with Gregg | iQuad Coin Edition | with Bruce Alderman Part 2: https://youtu.be/qo9eym_m-z4  - - - ℹ️ Find out more about Gregg Henriques ℹ️ - - -Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/gregg-henriques-phdMedium: https://gregghenriques.medium.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/henriqgx  - - - 🌳 The Unified Theory of Knowledge 🌳 - - -Homepage: https://www.unifiedtheoryofknowledge.org/ Medium: https://medium.com/unified-theory-of-knowledge Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_knowledge_system
