1 小时 2 分钟There are people who can learn to just discipline their mind because the strain in pain lies mainly in the brain.
It's an interpretation the brain makes of signals that are coming in from the body.
The fact that you can make it better with your brain doesn't mean it's all in your head at all.
It just means that you can change the way your brain processes it.
So have you ever wondered if your mind contains these untapped powers that could change your life, or, left unchecked, potentially even destroy it in different ways?
Turns out there are these subconscious scripts that run in our brains, controlling so much of our lives without us ever really realizing what's happening.
We try everything to feel better or create lasting change, only to keep failing over and over and over again, never realizing until we identify.
Until we surface and rewrite these hidden scripts, our reality remains locked into the same patterns, often fueling suffering, sometimes for life.
But what if there was a way to surface and then release and rewrite these scripts, unlocking along the way hidden abilities that let you conquer everything from chronic pain to anxiety, addiction, and more?
Turns out there is.
And it's all about a word that most people dismiss as fakery or some kind of carnival entertainment with no real value.
That game changing solution is therapeutic hypnosis.
And my guest today is Doctor David Spiegel, a renowned psychiatrist and hypnotherapist on a mission to really untether hypnosis from the realm of carnivals and late night comedy acts and reveal its true power to heal.
With over 45 years researching, practicing, and treating patients with hypnosis, as the director of Stanford center on Stress and Health, David knows its transformative potential firsthand.
He has published extensively on hypnosis to treat pain, depression, anxiety, and more.
And now his clinically backed app, reverie, brings self hypnosis to anyone with a smartphone.
Now, I have to admit, I was a little bit on the fence about this topic before diving in.
I held many of the same mistaken beliefs about this powerful healing and potential releasing modality.
But in our conversation, he pulls back the curtain on the groundbreaking and vast body of research around it, as well as addressing the mythology and mystery surrounding hypnosis.
So imagine being able to control pain and anxiety with a few simple mental techniques.
