Can Your Reality Turn on a Word? — with Anthony Jacquin

Can hypnosis be a tool to help us see how our minds are being
shaped and manipulated more than we realize? Guest Anthony
Jacquin is a hypnotist and hypnotherapist of over 20 years,
author of Reality is Plastic, and he co-runs the Jacquin
Hypnosis Academy. He uses his practice to help his clients change
their behavior and improve their lives. In this episode, he
breaks down the misconceptions of hypnosis and reveals that
despite the influence of hypnotizing forces like social media, we
all still have the ability to get in touch with our subconscious
selves. “What can I say with certainty is true about me — what is
good, true and real about me?” Anthony asks. “Much of what we’ve
invested in is actually transient. It will change. What is
unchanging?” Anthony draws connections between hypnosis and
technology and the impacts of both on our subconscious minds but
identifies a key difference — technology is exploiting us. But
maybe a little more insight into one more dimension of how our
minds work underneath the hood can help us build better, more
humane and conscious technology.
