Episode notes

In stressful situations, the brain can narrow its focus to prioritize survival by dissociating from other aspects. This self-anosis response is a quality that helps in staying alive during difficult circumstances. Hypnosis can be beneficial in managing anxiety and depression by addressing the feedback loop between mental and physical stress caused by fear and worry.

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.
