UFOs & Consciousness: A Deep Dive with the UAP Therapist Podcast

In addition to their day jobs as mental health professionals, Erik Schlimmer and Amanda Sheibelhut host the UAP Therapist Podcast, which has featured many outstanding guests such as Nick Cook, Kelly Chase, Matthew Roberts and Retired CIA Agent John Ramirez, among others.

Erik Schlimmer's fascination with UAPs began after watching the Bob Lazar, Joe Rogan interview in 2019. Intrigue turned personal when Erik encountered a mysterious orb during a camping trip in the Rocky Mountains, leaving him with acute stress disorder.

Former Marine and therapist, Amanda Scheibelhut also shares a profound experience from her childhood. Both Erik and Amanda identify as INFJ personality types, possibly connecting their unique perspectives and experiences.

The discussion dives into various aspects of UAP encounters, from physical craft to the consciousness element. Exploring cultural backgrounds and personal interests, they contemplate how these factors might influence one's interaction with UAPs. Theories regarding orbs being drones in combat zones emerge, sparking thoughts on their origin and purpose.

The conversation then shifts to the connection between consciousness and orbs, leading to the concept of a higher level of consciousness existing independently from physical bodies. The potential threat UAPs pose and the importance of mental health professionals' understanding of the phenomenon is emphasized.

The psychological impact of UAP encounters is examined, encompassing anxiety, depression, and trauma. Revelations of UAPs to the public could cause a crisis of faith and purpose, leading to ontological shock. Erik and Amanda stress the importance of more therapists supporting individuals through this potential turmoil. They also acknowledge skepticism and disbelief that may arise as UAPs become officially disclosed.

Speculating on societal implications, they consider the possible loss of faith in authority and changes in people's perception of their roles in the world. The discussion concludes with personal CE5 experiences and encounters with a mysterious presence in their homes, highlighting the intriguing and unsettling nature of the phenomenon.
