Hypnosis: Transforming Pain Management and Habit Control | David Spiegel | The Proof Podcast EP

[@Reverihealth]

Thank you for having me on your podcast and allowing me to share my stance on the life-changing impact that hypnosis can have. It was wonderful to speak with you Simon. DS

I wanted so badly for this to work for me when I first heard of Dr. Spiegel’s work. I downloaded the Reveri app and gave the training a fair amount of time. I worked on this for a few months but just could not hypnotize myself. I know he’s said some people just can’t do self-hypnosis. I guess I’m one of them. 😕

The prejudice is amazing. Hypnosis deserves to be taken more seriously.

Can someone tell me the Netflix documentary about pharmaceuticals Simon recommended watching during this podcast?

43:56 He misstates this. Not all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. Hypnotists can and sometimes do make mistakes. They can and sometimes do misguide people. They can and sometimes do embarrass people onstage and elsewhere. They are not universally or beneficial. I've been exploring hypnosis, self-hypnosis and a range of different meditation approaches for many years. There are abuses. Not all of the guidance in any of these is perfect or ideal. Sometimes it is misleading and unhealthy. People are right to be wary, and they are right not to surrender their intelligence. Spiegel is lulling people into trusting him. He is not omniscient, and his advice is not the best. Some is good, some is not so great. And it depends enormously on the individual and on the nature of the opportunity costs.

Unfortunately, this episode was a marketing promotion for the doctor' pay app. When I have root canal pain, I think having sex with my ex thai gf. Suddenly, pain is forgotten. I guess I have been self hypnotizing myself often. Doc did not add anything new to the idea of self indoctrination. 😅😅😅😅
