Exceptional experiences, anomalous phenomena and mental health

Anomalous or exceptional experiences are what one would call paranormal experiences and many therapists have not been trained in this phenomena, and how to help. Experiences include encounters with paranormal activity, pre-cognitions, lucid dreaming, out of body experiences, and the list goes on.

Sadly, it has been stigmatized in our society, but many people discuss and share their personal experiences and I feel encouraged to extend the conversation. I feel it is important for a person’s experience to heard and met with compassion.

If you experience phenomena that can’t otherwise be explained, I do believe there are counselors who also believe and can provide support and a place to talk about these experiences.
