Episode notes

The third level of pacing is where i begin to describe your inner experience. Here we become artfully vague, a phrase that the great hypnotist, miltan ericson used. So by describing some one's ongoing experience, a tear rolling down their faces, how you are feeling right now, it becomes very easy to lead people. If our intention is to lead people toward resourceful states of mind and other useful things, then i think this should be in to talkit. It makes me wonder if we could decide what values we actually wanted our information acology to have.

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.
