Re-Membering - a podcast by J. Pittman McGehee, D.D.

This talk was given by J. Pittman McGehee, D.D. on 4/18/2001. Pittman describes his near death experience when he was a five year old child. He was critically burned over 1/2 of his body and for 3 days was near death. This amazing story was blocked out as an important event in his life when he entered therapy as a 30 year old priest. Seeing he needed therapy himself when he began counseling people who came to his ministry, it was six months into it before he realized it was an important event to tell his psychiatrist. There is so much we don’t want to remember that we repress, project, deny, whatever it takes to not have to experience the pain, the loss, the memories as that is our psyches way of surviving. He tells two more personal stories of life and death and then ends with the meaning he derived from these experiences.
