Raymond O’Brien

Raymond O’Brien is a medical intuitive, provides NDE Counseling to NDE survivors, and is a member of the British Association of Counselors and Psychotherapists. He has had two NDEs and multiple STEs and has been resuscitated 10 times due to cardiac arrests. His work with clients ranges from experiences of terrorism to near-death. Raymond will discuss how NDEs impact a survivor’s daily life, their social interactions, their relationships with friends, family, and the medical personnel who treat them. He will also discuss the impact of the “gap of care”, the importance of normalizing the NDE, and how to help experiencers learn to choose the correct therapist who can help them process and integrate their NDE via validation, education, and support. Raymond will share who he was before his NDE, how the traumatizing gap of care exacerbated the aftereffects of his NDE leading to five years of isolation, and how this and other traumas played a major role in his wanting to provide NDE counseling services for NDE survivors. Raymond is currently putting together a working model for addressing the many PTSD symptoms associated with NDE survivors which are integral to his approach to psychological and emotional healing.
