New Research Suggests Out-of-Body Experiences as Trauma Response, Not Pathology
New research suggests that out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are more likely a response to trauma and stress, especially in childhood, rather than a mental health disorder, and could serve as coping mechanisms. The study emphasizes shifting the clinical perspective to better support experiencers and reduce stigma, highlighting the positive aspects of OBEs and their potential role in resilience and understanding of existence.
