DAVID SPIEGEL QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW<\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u201cOne of the coolest things about the [hypnotic] state is you tend to let go of your ordinary premises \u2014 not just about what\u2019s going on at that moment, but who you are, what kind of a person you are. \u2026 People can try out being different and see what it feels like. They can let go of their usual premises, and that\u2019s where hypnosis is something like flow state.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Dr. David Spiegel<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cMost eight-year-olds are in trances most of the time. As you know, if you call your eight-year-old in for dinner, he doesn\u2019t hear you. He\u2019s doing his thing \u2014 work and play are all the same thing for kids. I don\u2019t know why we try to train them to be little adults, because they have so much fun.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Dr. David Spiegel<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cBy the time you\u2019re about 21, your hypnotizability becomes as stable a trait as IQ.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Dr. David Spiegel<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201c[EMDR is] another therapeutic technique, but I have to say that my overall impression is what\u2019s good about it isn\u2019t new, and what\u2019s new about it isn\u2019t good.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Dr. David Spiegel<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cDepression with post-traumatic stress disorder is so harmful to people because it tarnishes their feelings about who they are as people. And if you can understand the experience, but disconnect it in some ways from this default mode conclusion about what sort of a person you are, that can be powerfully therapeutic.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Dr. David Spiegel<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe good thing about hypnosis is you can turn it on real fast, you can turn it off real fast. So the worst thing that happens most of the time is, sometimes it doesn\u2019t work, so what? So you do something else. \u2026 Hypnosis has not yet succeeded in killing anyone. It\u2019s just not dangerous.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Dr. David Spiegel<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cHypnosis is like an underappreciated company that hasn\u2019t been managed well and has a lot more positive resources, and that\u2019s what it\u2019s like. We just don\u2019t take advantage of it.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Dr. David Spiegel<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cOne of the things I love about working with hypnosis is people are surprised at what they can do because they\u2019re trying out being different and seeing what it feels like.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Dr. David Spiegel<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI\u2019d love to see [hypnosis] integrated better with people\u2019s overall health and wellness care. I think it\u2019s been sort of the Rodney Dangerfield of psychotherapies.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Dr. David Spiegel<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PEOPLE MENTIONED<\/h3>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related and Recommended<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/tim.blog\/podcast\"><strong>The Tim Ferriss Show<\/strong><\/a> <\/em><span>is one <\/span>of the most popular podcasts in the world with more than one billion downloads.
