EP 14 - Navigating Spiritual Emergency with Vinicius Resende

Have you ever had a spiritual experience that felt more like a crisis than a blessing? What happens when a psychedelic ceremony goes wrong and leaves you feeling "fractured" rather than healed? How can you help yourself when your spiritual awakening feels more a like mental health crisis? In this deeply personal episode of Triumphing Over Trauma, Dr. Adriana is joined by a very special guest from her own team, Vinicius Resende. Vinicius opens up about an Ayahuasca experience that stripped away his sense of self and the year-long journey of grounding, dreamwork, and resilience it took to put the pieces back together. Vinicius Resende’s journey into spirituality began alongside his family after his mother’s cancer diagnosis led them to explore Shamanism and plant medicine in 2022. While his early experiences were opening, one specific Ayahuasca ceremony—conducted without proper guidance—turned into a traumatic ordeal. Living in Brazil, where Spiritism is more culturally accepted, allowed Vinicius to frame his experience not as madness, but as a "spiritual emergency". In this conversation, he shares how he became his own healer—using dreams to reintegrate his psyche and body-based practices to ground his energy—and offers a message of hope for anyone navigating the scary side of spiritual awakening.

With time his interests started moving towards understanding more of the human psyche and spirit which led him towards spiritism, shamanism and ayahuasca that are deeply connected to his ancestral and country roots. He started his studies with plant medicine and shamanism in 2022 alongside his family after the discovery of his mother’s cancer that played a huge role in the development of his connection with spirituality, world view and the work he’s doing today with clients in Brazil. “My dreams became therapy.
