Today's guest, Dr. Rebecca Valla, is an integrative psychiatrist with a deep interest in NDEs and what they can teach us about ourselves. Dr. Valla grew up in a large family which was attached to an exclusive brethren sect, the Plymouth Brethren. Her spiritual path became her guiding light at a young age, and allowed her to navigate a very dysfunctional and isolated early life experience. It led to the discovery of psychotherapy as a healing art, and to a blending of the spiritual and the psychological, what Carl Jung termed the process of individuation. Dr. Valla became involved in the metaphysical as she developed her intuitive abilities. She has an integrative outpatient practice in Winston-Salem, NC, which is now within the larger context of a Holistic Health Center. Dr. Valla's interests include past lives, reincarnation, inner-child healing, and self-love.
