Extrasensory Diffidence & Dissonance<\/h2>\n

Extrasensory Diffidence<\/em> refers to when an individual has an extrasensory experience followed by overwhelming self-doubt in their capability to determine reality from imagination. This questioning of capability to properly perceive, believe, and appraise the experience can lead to functional impairments if issues arise and the individual does not receive advice or assurance from others. This lack in social support and self-confidence can lead to a number of issues depending on the type of extrasensory experience that is dismissed.<\/p>\n

Extrasensory Dissonance<\/em> refers to when an individual has an extrasensory experience and shares the occurrence of this experience with others. In this case, others experience mental distress and discomfort because they hold foundational beliefs that are contradictory to the individual\u2019s alleged experience. This stress and discomfort may also arise if the experient holds foundational beliefs that are contradictory to the experience.<\/p>\n

Religious & Spiritual Dissonance<\/strong><\/p>\n

In general, the fewer spiritual\/religious implications involved in the explanation of an extrasensory experience, the less likely one will typically encounter resistance to the explanation. However, while there are exceptions to this approach, proceeding with a purely scientific explanatory model may often be the only approach that will allow the individual to keep their permanent core belief structure intact while integrating their extrasensory experience into their personal story. However, even purely scientific explanations may conflict with core beliefs, and therefore may not be accepted due to those beliefs, or the lack thereof.<\/p>\n
