According to a marieclaire.com report, Vivian Diller, a psychologist, believes that the rising shaman trend has its root in declining interest in religious practices. Diller said, "Millennials are turned off by organized Western religion and are more open to religions based on Eastern philosophy. In a world that is so uncertain, there is still a desire for a sense of control, so some believe a spiritual leader holds potential answers."

He added that an increasing number of female patients are seeking additional help with spiritual healers as compared to the male patients.
