How Hypnosis Changes Brain & Body — Huberman Lab (Condensed)
Update: 2025-11-27
Description
Hook: Hypnosis is a practical state of focused attention that lets the brain rewrite responses to stress, pain, and performance. This summary condenses Huberman Lab’s 34-minute episode into 3 minutes. Host Andrew Huberman and guest Dr. David Spiegel explain how hypnosis and self-hypnosis shift brain networks (dorsal ACC, DLPFC, insula, posterior cingulate) to enhance cognitive flexibility, pain management, sleep, PTSD treatment, and performance. You’ll learn about hypnotizability, simple induction tests, brief self-hypnosis protocols, breathwork’s role in autonomic control, and real clinical findings (gastric response, PTSD trials). Keywords: hypnosis, self-hypnosis, neuroplasticity, pain control, PTSD, breathwork, hypnotizability. Practical takeaways include quick 1–2 minute refreshers and when to seek a licensed clinician. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
