This chapter explores the concept of self-hypnosis and its role in healing from heartbreak. It discusses the importance of cognitive flexibility, creating new habits, and the adaptive process of reshaping intentions and perceptions over time. It also highlights the potential benefits of using self-hypnosis as a tool to manage distress and find new possibilities for a more pleasurable future.

Can you reprogram your mind to deprogram the ex you can't get over? Today, we’re exploring all things 'self-hypnosis' and how to start getting your brain to work 'for you' rather than working against you during those times of deep heartbreak, loss, grief, and sadness.
We’ve all been there—the breakup you cannot get over. It’s a mental, physical, and emotional rollercoaster, and hearing ‘it will pass’ and 'time will heal all' sometimes doesn’t help us at all.
This week, Louise asks leading American psychiatrist and Stanford Professor, Dr. David Spiegel, how his clinically backed, evidence-based self-hypnosis app Reveri can help you work *with* your biology to move through some of the most difficult times of our lives.
The pair discuss:
- What self-hypnosis actually is
- Why you need to heal your biology, not just your 'psychology,' to heal your heartbreak faster
- How we can use these states of highly focused attention to start creating new thoughts, beliefs, stories, and pathways—rather than the ones we get fixated on and play repeatedly
- The importance of cognitive flexibility in the grieving process and how this contributes to the development of new perspectives concerning the past, present, and future
- How self-hypnosis contributes to building confidence and STOPS you from thinking you were the only problem in the relationship
- How neuroplasticity allows for the formation of new neural patterns and behaviors, including the development of new stories and beliefs
- How self-hypnosis can help you open your mind to meeting someone new; and
- How hypnosis can also help with stress, pain, and grief, and how we can learn to work with the pain we are feeling in our body
Dr. Spiegel has created Reveri so you can access all his sessions in 1 app.
