The Brain Health Revolution Podcast

The neuroscience of hypnosis, with Dr. David Spiegel


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re joined by renowned psychologist Dr. David Spiegel — co-founder and chief scientific officer of science-backed hypnosis app Reveri — for a discussion about the use of hypnosis and hypnotherapy in clinical settings.

We talk about:

• The research-supported neuroscience of hypnosis • How hypnosis can help focus your attention and hone self-control, rather than causing you to lose control, as is often misconstrued by the spectacle of theatrical stage shows • The ways hypnosis is used to manage pain, reduce stress, and address issues like phobias and sleep problems • How hypnosis may be used during medical procedures to alleviate pain and reduce dependence on opioids • How the Reveri app is helping to make hypnotherapy more accessible
