The challenges of examining the subjective experience of supernatural events prompted today's special guest, Dr. Fredrick Woodard, to write the book Developing Your Supernatural Awareness. He presents some of his personal history with supernatural experiences and mentions key people who influenced him. He talks about his earliest experiences with hypnosis, the study of consciousness, and how he evolved as a professional, as well as how he developed deeper connections to his heritage.

Dr. Fredrick Woodardis a clinical psychologist and certified hypnotherapist who conducts original research on the supernatural/paranormal, hypnosis, and psychotherapy. His research stems from his dissatisfaction with general psychological explanations of hypnosis and altered states, which have not reflected his own personal and clinical experience. And he shares with us how he improved his understanding of supernatural awareness and forged stronger connections with the universe - a universe alive with invisible beings, energies, and information that can interact with us.

Dr. Woodard's first book, Perceptual Hypnosis: A Spiritual Journey Toward Expanding Awareness, describes his theoretical approach to perceptual awareness, spirituality, and hypnosis. He first presented his approach in his doctoral dissertation in 2001 and in a series of eleven peer-reviewed articles in Psychological Reports between 2003 and 2014. His first journal article, “Hypnosis and Phenomenological Perceptual Psychology,” was published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology in March 1996.

His private practice is located in Milford, New Hampshire. He is a member of the American Psychological Association (APA), the New Hampshire Psychological Association, the Society of Psychological Hypnosis (Division 30 of APA), and the Society of Scientific Exploration.
