#350: Hypnosis is NOT What You Think! How to Control Your Mind & Body – Dr. David Spiegel
from The Gabby Reece Show
Dr. David Spiegel is one of the world’s leading experts on hypnosis, mind body medicine, and the power of focused attention. With over four decades of clinical work and research at Stanford, he explains how self hypnosis can help you reduce stress, manage pain, improve sleep, break habits, and shift long held patterns that keep you stuck. Dr. Spiegel also guides me through a short self hypnosis exercise that reveals how quickly the mind can influence the body. We explore why some people are more hypnotizable than others, how trauma and imagination shape the brain, and how to use these tools to change your internal narrative and strengthen emotional resilience. This conversation is full of practical insights about stress, anxiety, performance, grief, and the ways we can reprogram the stories we tell ourselves. If you have ever wondered whether hypnosis is real, or how the brain can change your lived experience, Dr. Spiegel offers research backed clarity and simple techniques anyone can try.
