How To Use Hypnosis for Sleep, Pain, Stress, Anxiety, Phobias, Trauma and MORE. With Dr. David Spiegel.

Today’s guest is Dr. David Spiegel. He is Professor and Associate Chair of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Director of the Center on Stress and Health, and Medical Director of the Center for Integrative Medicine all at Stanford University School of Medicine.  Dr. Spiegel has more than 40 years of clinical and research experience studying stress and health, pain control, sleep, hypnosis, and more. He’s published thirteen books on these and other topics.  In this interview, we talk about Hypnosis. Why are some people are more susceptible than others? What’s the difference between hypnosis and self hypnosis? How can we use hypnosis for sleep, stress, anxiety, depression, stress, phobias, pain or trauma? When I asked him for a simple definition of hypnosis he said "hypnosis is simply a state of highly focused attention. It's like looking through the telephoto lens of a camera, what you see, you see with great detail, but you're less aware of the context." I found his insights and the tools he offered extremely interesting…in fact I tried some of them for sleep and pain on his Reveri app. He’s an incredibly skilled and interesting guy.   Resources: Reveri App. TRYI IT: 30% off Discount:  Enter the code ‘UNTANGLE’ at checkout at buy.reveri.com for 30% off of Reveri’s yearly subscription *valid through 1/1/2024 An questions contact support@reveri.com Unlock 30 days of Meditation Studio for free at choosemuse.com/meditationstudio.
