The Power of Hypnosis: Insights from Dr. David Spiegel

Introduction to Hypnosis

In a recent episode of the Huberman Lab Essentials, neurobiology professor Andrew Huberman hosts Dr. David Spiegel, a renowned expert in clinical hypnosis and psychiatry, to explore the fascinating science behind hypnotic states. Hypnosis is described as a state of highly focused attention—similar to looking through the telephoto lens of a camera, capturing intense detail with diminished context. This heightened concentration can make one feel immersed in an experience, akin to being part of a movie rather than just an observer.
