Brain Function and Hypnosis

Denise Billen-Mejia https://www.healandberadiant.com Martin Furber https://www.martinfurber.com Season 4 Episode 9 – Brain Function & Hypnosis This week’s episode finds Denise and Martin talking about what actually happens to our brains during hypnosis. With the use of fMRI scanning in recent years, it is possible to monitor what happens in our brains when we are in a state of mental-rehearsal. Denise and Martin discuss some of the findings from Marcus Raichle, and they talk about the "Default Mode Network". Don’t worry! This is not a science lesson; things are explained simply, in their usual conversational style. They also discuss how the protective side of our brains can be likened to the way a company functions, using something known as the ‘Ratey’ metaphor. Filled as usual with anecdotes from their respective practices on either side of the pond, you won’t find any swinging watches, BS, or 'woo-'woo'—that's not what they are about. Hosted by Denise Billen-Mejia in Delaware, USA, and Martin Furber in Preston, UK. Denise is a retired Medical Doctor turned Consulting Hypnotist. Martin is a Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist.
