Can spiritual experiences improve mental health? This topic is explored with Rev. Karen E. Herrick, Ph.D., who was interviewed by TV show host Kara Sundlun of Kara’s Cures on WFSB Channel 3 Eyewitness News.
A Gallop Poll showed that 41% of Americans have had a profound spiritual awakening that changed the direction of their lives. The Atlantic (2022) shared that those who have spiritual experiences “find a greater understanding of life, higher well-being, and more love through an exploration of the transcendent.”
Karen Herrick, Ph.D., has spent decades researching spiritual phenomena, how this information impacts mental health and overall well-being, and the need for educating mental health professionals on these experiences.
