What's the science behind hypnosis?
I have a question about the episode Only 12 Minutes to Remove Stress & Pain! Professor David Spiegel Unveils The Science Of Hypnosis and this clip Understanding Hypnosis. If the goal is to diminish the physiological response, does working to change a person's physiological response immediately after being triggered also diminish the physiological response over time and break the conditioning? For example, if a person had a traumatic experience with a spider and, every time they see the spider or get activated through some trigger, immediately uses breathwork to calm the body, would that work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear? Did I miss something?
I have a question about this episode Dr. David Spiegel: Using Hypnosis to Enhance Health & Performance | Huberman Lab Podcast #60 and this Transformative Mental States. If the goal is to diminish the physiological response, then if a person works to change their physiological response immediately after being triggered, would that over time also diminish the physiological response and therefore break the conditioning? Am I right? For example, if a person had a traumatic experience with a spider, but every time they see the spider or get activated through some trigger, and immediately after uses breathwork to calm the body, would that work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear?
