Rachel PearceGUEST
But yeah, I tried everything under the sun.
Rachel PearceGUEST
Hypnosis, CBT, antidepressants, many, many magical mushrooms, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in Oslo.
Rachel PearceGUEST
Um, like I've tried.
Niall GrimesHOST
Any of them have any impact?
Aalap AsurlekarHOST
The competing account from Nicholas Spanos and others is socio-cognitive theory.
Aalap AsurlekarHOST
that hypnosis is better explained as genuine, motivated role enactment and heightened compliance, not a distinct altered state at all.
Aalap AsurlekarHOST
Hypnosis does have some legitimate clinical uses, but the evidence varies a lot depending on what it's used for.
Aalap AsurlekarHOST
IBS is the strongest case.
Aalap AsurlekarHOST
NICE guidelines list gut-directed hypnotherapy as an option for irritable bowel syndrome that hasn't responded to other treatments.
Aalap AsurlekarHOST
A Cochrane review found there isn't enough evidence that hypnotherapy beats other stop smoking support or quitting unassisted.
Aalap AsurlekarHOST
It's a useful reminder that not every claimed clinical use carries the same weight of evidence.
Aalap AsurlekarHOST
Hypnosis also has a real controversy attached.

BradoVOICE_ACTOR
So up here in Meaford, my hypnosis practice is thriving.
BradoVOICE_ACTOR
I've hired Duder and Erder, whose latest venture into getting rich quick has naturally failed.
BradoVOICE_ACTOR
So I'm paying them each 75 cents an hour to go door to door with flyers telling people about my hypnosis skills and my upcoming certification from Mike Mandel Hypnosis Academy to drum up business.
BradoVOICE_ACTOR
But here's what I wanna know.
Ollie HillGUEST
But hypnosis, it's a catalyst moment.
Ollie HillGUEST
Just like that was a catalyst for me.
Ollie HillGUEST
Hypnosis is like condensing these catalysts so that we positively move forwards because you can either get sabotaged by the events that go on or you can use them as your inspiration.
Daniel BucknerHOST
Yeah, and that's what I'm trying to find out.
Daniel BucknerHOST
You're kind of using it to fuel you, I suppose.

Ollie HillGUEST
Realize in the background while that's happening your subconscious is doing at least a Billion times more than that all of your thoughts your brain is doing a billion times more than that in the background, right? So you're picking up my accent you're noticing when it goes to New Zealand or when it goes to English or when Ozzy comes out right if you think about the conscious mind 150, 250 bits of information, that's about a license plate while you're driving.
Ollie HillGUEST
So the letters, the color contrast, the distance away it is from your car, that's about all the conscious mind can hold at one time.
Ollie HillGUEST
Hypnosis, we so thoroughly occupy the conscious mind, it's basically, its job is the gatekeeper.
Sharon CurtinHOST
Yeah.
Michael AylingGUEST
It is, and it's probably worth just backing up into what to define hypnosis and to distinguish it from stage hypnosis because it's the only area of healthcare that has an entertainment arm.
Michael AylingGUEST
And so it's quite unique in that, you know, I think it was Hull said in the 1930s that all science started as magic and superstition and hypnosis has been the one that's clung the longest to those sorts of notions.
Michael AylingGUEST
And it draws people who are...
Michael AylingGUEST
It attracts people who are drawn to magical thinking, both patients and therapists.
Michael AylingGUEST
So why does stage hypnosis work? Well, what is hypnosis in the first state? Okay, it's not a state of sleep.
Michael AylingGUEST
The Scottish physician James Braid invented the term and then two years later regretted it.
Michael AylingGUEST
He named it after Hypnos, the god of sleep.

MattHOST

Evan GambardellaGUEST
It was from an act of desperation of trying to preserve myself and to save myself from my depression and anxiety that this thing came about.
