CUTV News Radio spotlights Dr. Diane Corcoran of Corcoran Consulting

Chapel Hill, NC – Dr. Corcoran is the founder of the Corcoran Consulting, where she provides educational programs as well as counseling for near-death experiences.

According to Dr. Corcoran, a former president of the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), a near-death experience usually happens during a time of crisis or distress, which can be physical as well as psychological. A typical NDE is often characterized by a pattern of perceptions that transcend ordinary experiences.

“It's not a dream state,” explains Dr. Corcoran. “It's a profound psychological event, intensely emotional and personal and spiritually transformative.”

After their experience, these individuals describe a sense of oneness with nature, an understanding that we're all one and all connected. They experience heightened perceptions of touch and taste and smell. They become more altruistic with expanded concepts of love; many become chaplains or work in healthcare. They become more creative and intuitive, with interests in topics they'd never been interested in before.

Finally, many individuals who have experienced an NDE are no longer afraid to die.

Now Dr. Corcoran’s journey with NDEs has come full circle. She is currently raising funds to develop a program for the International Association of Near Death Studies (IANDS.org) to provide training on near death experiences for military health care providers and veterans.
