More About the Author

Carla Wills-Brandon always wanted to do two things professionally: be of service to others, and write. Being true to her dream, she has published over 10 books, one of which was a "Publishers Weekly Best Seller." Along with this Carla has also lectured across the U.S. and U.K., and has appeared on numerous national radio and television programs, such as Geraldo Rivera, Sally Jesse Raphael, Montel Williams, Art Bell's Coast To Coast Radio Show, Uri Geller's Coast To Coast Radio Show and Politically Incorrect With Bill Maher. Considered a relationship and trauma expert, many of her media appearances have been dedicated to discussing healthy intimacy, recovery from sexual abuse and trauma resolution. Carla has also appeared on several programs with her husband Michael, as the two clinicians often see couples in their private practice as a couple.

Aside from her work as a Marriage and Family therapist with relationships, intimacy issues, sexual dysfunction, addiction, trauma resolution and grief, Carla has also been investigating spirituality and other related phenomenon for over a decade. She is considered to be one of the leading researchers into the deathbed vision experience and the dying process. In her private practice, grief work, lectures and workshops she teaches people how to integrate these most incredible encounters into everyday living and the grieving process. Currently, she is working on another project involving the mysterious departing visions of the dying.

Carla and her family live on an island just off the coast of Texas in a 100-year-old historical home, which recently survived hurricane Ike in 2008. She and her husband, Dr. Michael Brandon Ph.D., a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, have been in private practice for over two decades. They have been married for over 30 years. The Brandons have two sons, Joshua and Aaron. Along with this, they have one Golden Retriever, four kitties, one Chinese box turtle, and two Love Birds. Sadly, the tarantula did not survive hurricane Ike.

5.0 out of 5 stars EMBRACING SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCES, December 16, 2003
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Glimpse of Heaven: The Remarkable World of Spiritually Transformative Experiences (Paperback)
The author of a best-selling book on deathbed visions, "One Last Hug Before I Go," Dr. Carla Wills-Brandon has broadened her research and writing to encompass nearly every type of spiritual experience. In addition to her own, she summarizes several dozen other inspiring, interesting, informative and intriguing spiritually transformative experiences (STEs) encountered in her research over the years, including the out-of-body experience of Dr. Mark Seelig, a German psychotherapist. Seelig recalled going through a tunnel, seeing deceased relatives speaking to him in "wordless language," then encountering a light being who communicated with him in the most loving way. "[The experience] completely shattered my outlook on life, consciousness, religion..." Seelig is quoted.

While many mental health professionals look askance at such experiences and avoid discussing them, Wills-Brandon, a family therapist, has discovered that by helping the patient explore his or her STE and then embrace it, the patient often adopts a more positive, more accepting, and more loving outlook on life.

"Regardless of this," Wills-Brandon states, referring to the criticism by both mainstream science and orthodox religion, "when an STE brings comfort and healing, it is difficult to keep tightlipped, no matter who is doing the ridiculing"

Wills-Brandon makes a strong case for fully examining, exploring, and embracing spiritual experiences.

5.0 out of 5 stars Transforming Experience, December 13, 2004
This review is from: A Glimpse of Heaven: The Remarkable World of Spiritually Transformative Experiences (Paperback)
This book highlights the transformation that occurs at true NDEs, and the psychic phenomena that often accompanies experiencers is shown clearly here. I think this book together with Psychic Gifts Tools to Connect by Dr. Snow (another NDE experiencer) make some of the best reading on transformation from NDEs that I have ever read. Both also highlight how the choices we make here in our lives ripple on through to our death experience, and how we can connect to our higher selves and each other, and fine tune powerful spiritual abilities, right here on earth. We all have much to gain from reading these accounts.
