A good psychiatrist with a religious background and experience of spirituality. Rule out any mental illness. A good rule of thumb regarding spiritual experiences is the effect that they produce in your life. If you life is enriched and improved by the experience it is more likely to be genuine. If it has a negative impact on your life to the detriment of relationships or health for example it must be questioned and evaluated. A good confessor is very useful.
