Victims No Longer: Healing Chronic Abuse in the Context of NDEs
Janet Elizabeth Colli, Ph.D.
While many women have endured episodes of
domestic violence, childhood sexual abuse and bulimia nervosa-some
survive... and thrive. What happens to the cycle of violence
and abuse when a Near-Death Experience occurs? How does the
healing process unfold? Case studies will elucidate the
fundamental change in perspective that leads to hope and
change. Based on research studies, comparisons will be made
to victims of chronic abuse without NDEs. A psycho-physical
scientific explanation for the apparent enhanced healing will be
offered.
Dr. Colli earned her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in 1997.

the role of trauma in entering transpersonal or spiritual
