An Exploration Of Roles Of Trauma And Dissociation In Mystical Experiences And Near-Death Experiences
This pilot study explored the roles of trauma and dissociation in mystical experiences and near-death experiences. 100 participants were administered a 99-item questionnaire designed to detect the extent of mystical experiences, dissociation, absorption, childhood and recent traumatic events, and NDE. The data showed that mystical experiences and near-death experiences were strongly associated with all dissociative measures. These results imply a) that mysticism might embody, or express, culturally-adaptable dissociative responses and b) that the capacity for complex dissociative processing might also provide a phenomenological template for how near-death experiences are shaped and processed.
