Stephen Berkley is a Writer/Director/Producer and Filmmaker whose PBS feature film, titled LIFE WITH GHOSTS, is a Best Documentary Film Festival winner. The documentary, which was inspired when Stephen’s father transitioned and his mother began reporting interactions with his father’s ghost, is the culmination of a seven-year investigation into the nature of love, loss, and ghosts. Be sure to tune in to hear Irene and Stephen discuss this enlightening documentary, which features three survivor’s quests for answers to questions such as “Are ghosts a real phenomenon or are they merely symptomatic of profound grief?”, Induced After-Death Communication, also known as IADC, which is a welcome alternative to traditional talk therapy and prescription drug use for the chronically bereaved, and more!


IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:

  • How automatic writing helped Stephen’s mother connect with his dad.
  • The testing of Induced-After-Death Communication (IADC) at the University of North Texas, and the jaw-dropping results.
  • How IADC helps people suffering from prolonged grief disorder.
  • Stephen’s three reasons for putting “ghosts” in his documentary title.


SOME QUESTIONS IRENE ASKS STEPHEN:

  • How effective is IADC as a therapeutic intervention for grief compared to traditional talk therapy?
  • Is IADC also known to work for skeptics?
  • How is IADC like EMDR, and how is it different?
  • What are your hopes for Life With Ghosts moving consciousness on this planet?
  • What synchronicities have you experienced since creating Life With Ghosts?
  • Why do you say, “Life is not an immortality project, instead it is a discovery of your true nature”?
