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

Про цей епізод

Dr. David Spiegel is a psychiatrist, Stanford professor, and leading authority on hypnosis and stress-related health. What exactly is hypnosis?

Expect to learn what Dr. Speigel thinks most people misunderstand about what hypnosis is or how it works, what’s actually happening in the brain when we enter a hypnotic state, if anyone can be hypnotized or is there a specific “profile” of someone more likely to respond, the neurobiological difference between someone pretending to be hypnotized vs. someone actually in a trance state, how effective hypnosis is for improving sleep, the role hypnosis could play in reducing our reliance on pharmaceuticals, and much more… Timestamps: (0:00) The Biggest Misunderstandings About Hypnosis (6:00) Why Can We Be Hypnotised?
