Summary
What if you could rewrite the subconscious scripts controlling your life? Harness untapped mental powers to conquer pain, anxiety, and addictions?
My guest Dr. David Spiegel, renowned psychiatrist & director of Stanford's Center on Stress and Health, pulls back the curtain on hypnosis. With 45+ years of researching and successfully treating patients, he's on a mission to reveal hypnosis as a gentler, effective first-line treatment. We dive into the science, address the mythology around it, and learn how his clinically-backed app Reveri brings self-hypnosis to anyone seeking healing and unleashing their full potential.
