Episode notes

This chapter discusses the sustainability of hypnotic therapy and the concept of self-hypnosis, focusing on a randomized trial conducted with women with metastatic breast cancer. The results showed that the treatment group, who learned self-hypnosis for pain control, experienced significantly less pain and required lower amounts of pain medication compared to the control group. The chapter also explores the difference between self-hypnosis and guided hypnosis, emphasizing the long-term efficacy of self-hypnosis techniques.

What if you could rewrite the subconscious scripts controlling your life? Harness untapped mental powers to conquer pain, anxiety, and addictions?

My guest Dr. David Spiegel, renowned psychiatrist & director of Stanford's Center on Stress and Health, pulls back the curtain on hypnosis. With 45+ years of researching and successfully treating patients, he's on a mission to reveal hypnosis as a gentler, effective first-line treatment. We dive into the science, address the mythology around it, and learn how his clinically-backed app Reveri brings self-hypnosis to anyone seeking healing and unleashing their full potential.
