Journal of Exceptional Experiences and Psychology

Shaye Hudson, M.A., received his Masters of Arts degree in psychology with a transpersonal emphasis from the University of West Georgia and is currently a staff member there. He is also a graduate of the Monroe Institute programs and has been leading groups in the metro Atlanta area since 2007. While at West Georgia, he pursued an academic focus in parapsychology, transpersonal psychology and in clinical psychology/counseling. Shaye's academic interest is the phenomenology and transformative effects of exceptional experiences such as mystical states, children and adult spiritual experiences, near death experiences, out of body experiences, and after death communication. He is applying research from these exceptional experiences to help develop more effective clinical/counseling approaches for use in a therapeutic setting and to educate the professional community.
