S8 Ep17. Hypnosis: The Facts, The Fiction, & The Benefits

What comes to mind when you think of hypnosis? Some poor fool in a spotlight quacking like a duck who will have no memory of it later in the night? Or guided meditation with a specific outcome in mind? Brooklyn-based hypnosis and regression therapist Daniel Ryan explains the stark contrast between meaningful hypnotherapy and flashy stage show hypnotism and how, as the son of a clinical psychologist trained in hypnotism by the US military in the 1950s, he spent a lifetime learning to spot the differences.Daniel discusses how hypnotherapy is used not as a magic wand to erase bad habits and memories but as a therapeutic tool to change thinking and behavior. Often misunderstood and misconstrued, hypnotherapy can be used to break bad habits or to overcome personal challenges; Daniel explains how hypnotism leverages pre-existing trance tendencies, not to relinquish a subject’s control, but to help them regain it.Set out to share his knowledge and help those who want to help themselves, Daniel’s practice helps people address a variety of issues ranging from overcoming general or social anxiety and signs of depression, managing stress at work and the pressures of family, to personal trauma and grief management.

S8 Ep16. Alvaro Silberstein on Building an Accessible Travel Company For Explorers Like Him

Although a car accident left him paralyzed, Alvaro Silberstein refused to let that stop him from traveling with his friends. But he soon realized that while he successfully hiked the peaks in Patagonia, for most people who live with disabilities, adventure accessibility is not a possibility. That’s why he founded Wheel the World, an online marketplace for people with disabilities and seniors to book accessible trips. In this week’s episode of FOMO Sapiens, Alvaro talks about how he convinced the skeptics that his business could work and raised venture capital to scale. He also unpacks the opportunities and challenges that he sees as a Latin American entrepreneur who targets a global audience with much of his team in South America. Learn more about your ad choices.
