You are not sure what to make of it and where to go from here.
Maybe this is you …
You feel overwhelmed, confused, and shaken by a spiritual experience that rocked your world, and you are not even sure if the experience was truly spiritual or not. You question everything you once believed, and life doesn't make sense anymore. You feel alone and disconnected from everyone and everything.
Your old beliefs don’t serve you anymore, and you might feel betrayed, angry, and disillusioned with a religious community that once felt like home. Guilt, shame, and fear of divine punishment haunt you. You can't trust anymore after seeing the hypocrisy of those you used to respect and are looking to explore what it is that you believe—if anything.
You have trouble focusing, and your productivity has tanked. Professional relationships are strained. You feel emotionally distant from loved ones, unable to connect or share your experiences. You're afraid they won't understand or will judge you and have lost your sense of purpose and direction. You second-guess major life choices and feel stuck and uncertain about everything.
You know that there is something more to life than the eye can see, but you cannot reconcile it with your old beliefs. You need a safe space and guidance to explore what YOU actually believe, not anybody else. You are looking to find meaning and purpose in your life.
What it could be like.
Imagine how it would feel if confusion and overwhelm would gradually fade and reconnecting with yourself and others feels possible again.
Negative emotions and disillusionment can be replaced by a sense of purpose. Imagine a life in which guilt, shame, and fear cannot control you anymore. How would you feel being able to trust yourself and develop your own connection to your higher power?
Imagine a life where you can concentrate again and feel more present, a life in which relationships feel more authentic as you learn to set boundaries and communicate your needs. How would it feel if your sense of purpose and direction came back and guided your life choices? Would you feel more confident, grounded, and at peace with yourself and your path?

I have training in transpersonal counseling. Transpersonal counseling is a more neutral expression for experiences that go beyond the rational mind. It acknowledges the existence of a soul dimension and works to integrate it with therapy for the mind. In addition, I am, and have been for years, actively involved in the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) and am a member of their Academic and Research Committee. My main research interest is related to transpersonal experiences. I have been on my own path to self-exploration for many years and contribute perspective and life experience.
