Hypnosis, Brain Hacking, & Mental Mastery - Dr David Spiegel - #985

What do you think most people misunderstand about hypnosis, what it is, how it works? Well, there are sort of offsetting misunderstandings. They either think it's really dangerous or it's useless, or maybe it's both. And The biggest fear and misunderstanding is that it's a it's losing control.

And I'm here to tell you that hypnosis is a way of teaching people how to enhance control of mind and body. And so the very thing that people see, you know, I I don't like stage hypnosis very much. I don't like making fools out of people. But when you see the football coach dancing like a ballerina and you think, what the hell's going on here? You're watching somebody who's willing to let go of his old assumptions of who he is and what he is and should be and trying out being different.

And one of the great things about hypnosis is you can try out being different. And sometimes it works in a hurry. And that's what I do with my patients, and that's what we do with Reverie. Is there a marked difference in what's going on in the brain of somebody who's dancing like a ballerina on stage at a sandals resort in, you know, Jamaica.
