The suicide of someone close—or even someone we know—inevitably confronts us with profound feelings of helplessness. Para o Dr.. Jesus Viosca, experiencing this firsthand led him to investigate the phenomenon in greater depth. This path guided him to the concept of Inteligência Espiritual.
Spiritual Intelligence refers to a set of abilities that enable individuals to find meaning in life. It provides resources to address existential concerns and helps us understand that life is not working against us, but rather offering opportunities for learning. In this sense, it supports a shift in perspective—and with it, a transformation in how we perceive reality.
These are capacities that can be developed and cultivated into internal protective resources. They contribute to a deeper understanding of who we are, help identify a vital purpose, and foster a sense of meaning. Research suggests that these factors create a therapeutic anchor for individuals experiencing suicidal ideation, thereby supporting prevention efforts.
Throughout the conversation with Luján Comas, President of the Fundación ICLOBY, Dr.. Viosca emphasizes a key idea: spirituality is a protective factor that science can no longer ignore when addressing this issue.
