Relationships have the power to transform people's lives - individually and collectively, positively and negatively. And this power can often be felt resonantly in the first few seconds of an interaction, through key factors like the tone of someone's voice and their non-verbal cues.

Join co-hosts Dr. Eric Spiegel and David Alter - two seasoned health psychologists, relational therapists, and hypnotherapists - as they introduce you to a wide-ranging podcast about how trance forms in relationship, and how relationship transforms lives.

In this first episode, Eric and David will provide an overview of the many forms of relationship that contain elements of trance, and with them, the capacity for transformation.

These include our relationships with...

• Our neurobiology, where the role of curiosity, discovery, the known, and the novel are explored
• The process of change, a process deeply connected to the nature of trance and entrancing experience
• Ourselves, whether between mind and body, or between parts of self
• Our partners/spouses/friends, where themes of safety, security, attachment, and connection in the presence of difference are examined
• The world of ideas, beliefs, attitudes, and fear, where the hosts explore polarization, alienation, demonization, and risk of violence
• The global wisdom traditions that speak to core truths about life, love, and connection that, sadly, we too often disregard at our own peril
• The world of nature and the larger world within which we all co-evolved, and how our evolutionary endowments still contain important keys for physical, emotional, mental, and relational health.

Join us for a journey into the transformative nature of relationships by tuning into Trance-forming Relationships, with Dr. Eric Spiegel and Dr. David Alter.
