This doctor is hilarious. His dad jokes are amazing!

I’m so glad I found this. As a person who suffers from fibromyalgia, anxiety, and depression, I’m willing to try anything!! Life has to be better than this!!

This was so good!!! We need more psychologist/ therapist type of hypnotists, instead of the basic hypnotists for quitting smoking.

[amandaswan]

Thank goodness hypnosis is being used in this way as I see so many of my clients benefit from hypnotic trance as part of their psychotherapeutic journey. I never went into psychotherapy with a view to use hypnosis but it’s now part of my integrated practice and I wouldn’t be without it. Thank you to all those pioneers before us for their perseverance with it🙏

Very good and very interesting presentation of clinical hypnosis with clinical cases and a portion of humor. In my opinion, he is a good doctor!

[jessierose]

Excellent presentation!! But there's one thing I must quibble with, based on my own experience as a hypnotist and my observations of master hypnotists: your assumption is that because some people have a profile that makes them difficult to drop, that that means they can't be. That's a logical error. Give me your toughest subject, and I would tap them out mentally--using a combination of confusion & eye-fixation--then when they're just about to overload (like literally stand up and stop the induction because you're pushing them to the limit of mental stress), that's when you yank that hand, SLEEP, and it's lights out. You should watch master hypnotists, such as Michael White or Anthony Jacquin: they'll show you this thing called hypnotizability is subservient to operator expertise.

Powerful messages here. I'll definitely look at buying some of Dr. Spiegel's books.

[esriettescoachinghub]

Very useful and interesting. I absolutely believe in Hypothesis and it's value to human kind. Although I am a Christian and don't have any negative comments on your excellent work. Thank you reminding me how to use this tool. Much appreciated.❤️❤️

[CarolynsLoveRickshaw]

I find it amusing that this distinguished doctor sniffles throughout the whole presentation. Hahah 🤣 But also it’s super informative and entertaining.

[latifamoumen]

So, this is the real Dr Spiegel and not the one in the Johnny Depp Amber Heard trial.

Hypnosis start : 29:30
Hypnosis end: 31:47

[mmm]

Interesting and entertaining. Thank you.

There is also especially during hetrohypnosis a decrease in activity in the Parietal cortex & I would suggest a shift from left prefrontal cortex beta waves to a more symmetrical alpha-theta activity resulting in an increase in parasympathetic activity.

[martinwilliams]

So you could suggest that negative symptoms are decreasing etc & becoming more distant & that positive sensations are increasing & becoming closer, in order to stimulate different areas of the brain.

I couldn't stop laughing when he said the dark side of hypnosis and showed the picture of the animals stuck to that guy. I've been watching/listening to hypnosis for wait a year, but in the past three months I have really been addict to watching/listening to YouTube videos, well in this past few months, the animals were I'm staying at have been "" UP MY BUTT" as I call it. And the two dogs tend to lay right next to me when I'm doing a hypnosis videos.

You can shut off a very precise region of the brain depending on what you say to the patient :wow:

[lonanderson]

Hypnosis can be used to stimulate one's own stem cells to transform themselves into other cells, such as neurons.
