The NDE and the Military
Diane Corcoran, R.N., Ph.D., C.L.N.C.

Individual who have Near-Death experiences have after effects that may be difficult to deal with under normal circumstances. However, soldiers who have these same issues are often in environments that they have little control over and can't just stop what they are doing and choose to do other things. They may very well have to go fight again and hurt other people and do things that may be very upsetting to them. It is therefore very important that military providers be familiar with the after effects and the integration process so they can assist military experiencers in their efforts to integrate the NDE into their life and their current military mission.

Ms. Corcoran has had a distinguished military career spanning 25 years during which she earned her PhD.
