The New Science of Flow || Orin Davis
The Psychology Podcast
Trance, Hypnosis, and the Complexity of Flow State
The speaker explores the overlap between trance and hypnosis, discussing the nature of the flow state and its relationship to consciousness. They highlight the challenge of differentiating between various experiences of trance, such as mindfulness and meditation. The speaker suggests that while there may be trance states across different contexts, there is also an overarching experience that goes beyond these individual states. They mention how people can be easily tranced out in everyday situations like watching TV or having conversations. The debate within the hypnosis community revolves around whether a trance is necessary for hypnosis or if a committed social contract is enough. The speaker also mentions ongoing neuroscience research to identify unique brain states during hypnosis and differentiate them from other states like mindfulness and flow.
