Using Self-Hypnosis To Change Your Thoughts & Behavior Forever w/ Dr. David Spiegel



In this episode, Aubrey Marcus speaks with Dr. David Spiegel, an expert in hypnosis, to explore the power of the mind and its therapeutic applications. Dr. Spiegel explains hypnosis as a natural mental state that can help tap into the subconscious to shift perception and behavior. They also discuss the effects of psilocybin and other psychedelics on the brain, emphasizing their ability to unlock new levels of consciousness and aid in therapy. Dr. Spiegel shares how clinical hypnosis has evolved, particularly in treating pain, trauma, and anxiety, and even highlights the fascinating practice of hypnosurgery, where patients undergo surgery without anesthesia using hypnosis.

Aubrey gets personally involved when he volunteers to be hypnotized, giving listeners a direct look at the process. They also talk about the potential risks of hypnosis when misused, before wrapping up with a look at future innovations like the Reveri app, which makes hypnosis more accessible for self-healing.

  1. This "expert in hypnosis" has the most obvious case of mass formation psychosis there is – "Trump Derangement Syndrome". Crazy that these academics can be so blind when it comes to themselves lol

  2. I used the technique of taking my consciousness to another place while I was hiking the Pacific Crest Trail on one of the sections in Oregon with the heat and lava rock.
    I took my consciousness to Hawaii and my body kept on hiking through the heat and hunger

  3. I got hypnotised to stop smoking.
    The facilitator asked me why I wanted to stop and what i didn’t like about it.
    I told her that I’m aware that the cigarette chemicals are eating through my body like maggots. She used my words in the verbally guided session.
    So now a cigarette is equivalent to a cup of maggots.
    I’ve held a cigarette with an outstretched arm for a girlfriend who was quickly going to the restroom.
    There’s no way I’m putting those maggots to my mouth.
    That was about 15 years ago 🙌
    The day of my appointment I chain smoked all day up until 5pm. I was at a very distressing family funeral.
    I was hypnotised at 5:30 and never looked back.
    I walked out of that office as a non-smoker.
    Miraculous 🙌

  4. Wonderful! I've utilized self hypnosis to amazing results. I started slow with sleep, in that I suggested that I would feel like I slept 8 hours even if it was only for 2 hours. It worked so then I applied it to cease drinking to excess, it worked and then I healed a fractured hip of mine over night. It is a truly potent tool for self healing /transformation. I learned self hypnosis techniques from youtube. I do small alterations regularly using auto suggestions to great success. Highly recommend! Thanks Aubrey, Infinite Love & Grattitude🐝🎼🐉

  5. Late Sixties, we earned a bit of $$ by being guinea pigs. First was how hypnotizable were we? I tested extra hard to hypnotize, but it was because they EEG'd us and did CCTV and this dude came out with a heavy German accent & horn rimmed glasses and swung a pocket watch & said "Your eyes are getting heavy…" And I fell out laughing. I'm easy to hypnotize if I trust you, VERY hard to hypnotize if I don't.

  6. Aubrey… you are a grifter.

    ⚠️ Danger of disinformation

    ⚠️ Sectarian propaganda

    ⚠️ This channel promote crime, fascism and spirituality all mixed together. Atlantis in bonus. You are wiser than Aubrey. 👍

  7. Honestly, i don't rather feel than guilty than helpless… that's what i (only recently) learned how they manipulated me to think 'just that'. This episode is wonderful, thank you (many wise people keep saying 'that this experience is what we choose in this life' and we'll need to work ouselves out of it, it's so harsh to hear.

  8. Dr. David Spiegel, I found you on about 3 1/2 years ago. I signed up for your app last year. I have never smoked a cigarette since the first session, I listened to. I can still go to my smoky dive bars and enjoy the music without wanting a cigarette. I’m highly hypnotizable. That’s why I was seeking your knowledge. I had just started dating a hypnotist. 🎉😂❤
    He’s only given me two sessions and both times he’s given me free will. I’ve been able to take myself out of severe pain to floating on a cloud. 🙏🙏🙏

  11. Ok. This guy is really good! As a Christian we are told not to do this practice because we would be giving ourselves over to the demonic influences. This is more like renewing the mind or think on these things, whatever is lovely, praise worthy, … think on these things. Very interesting.
