Near-death experience guest 1157 is Dr. Deborah King who had a powerful near-death experience (NDE) in 2008 that brought spiritual insight and lessons that she could have never learned in all of her years of clinical experience. Dr. King is an advanced practice registered nurse with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. Clinical practice and education have been her passion for over four decades. She has worked to integrate spirituality into her practice of holistic caring and teaching---although her traditional training often fell short in providing the tools needed to do so.  She experienced many "unexplained" but very real, powerful encounters with the spiritual realm during her years of work as a nurse and psychotherapist in critical care, hospice, mental health, grief, trauma, and behavioral medicine.
