Episode notes

The vast majority of your behaviours are automat good habits. The ones that get in the way, the ones that destroy your health, they're just running. It's like there is a part of you that's responsible for that behaviour and we can talk to it. If i say to them, so you'd like more control, or you'd like to be to travel freely, or you want to be fit and well, it's as if there's apart of you that runs this behaviour. Every single one of them nods like that's what it feels like. We just didn't ignore it. Ignoring it didn't work. He's not just going to go down as someone

Can hypnosis be a tool to help us see how our minds are being shaped and manipulated more than we realize? Guest Anthony Jacquin is a hypnotist and hypnotherapist of over 20 years, author of Reality is Plastic, and he co-runs the Jacquin Hypnosis Academy. He uses his practice to help his clients change their behavior and improve their lives. In this episode, he breaks down the misconceptions of hypnosis and reveals that despite the influence of hypnotizing forces like social media, we all still have the ability to get in touch with our subconscious selves. “What can I say with certainty is true about me — what is good, true and real about me?” Anthony asks. “Much of what we’ve invested in is actually transient. It will change. What is unchanging?” Anthony draws connections between hypnosis and technology and the impacts of both on our subconscious minds but identifies a key difference — technology is exploiting us. But maybe a little more insight into one more dimension of how our minds work underneath the hood can help us build better, more humane and conscious technology.
