    How to Live in a World of Fear & Anxiety: Part 1

    In this episode, we discuss why we are vulnerable to trance states when we are anxious, worried, afraid, and uncertain. We discuss our deep hunger for safety and security and how that hunger makes us vulnerable to overt or indirect manipulation.  This episode also prepares us for our upcoming interview of Dr. Carolyn Daitch, a best-selling author and renowned expert on the effective management of different anxiety-based conditions. She will focus on why the use of clinical hypnosis is especially useful in learning to effectively manage all manner of fears.  If you care to share your thoughts, reactions, or questions, please contact us at tranceformingrelationships@gmail.com.    More info on Dr. David Alter:   General Info: www.drdavidalter.com For Couples: www.partnersatcrossroads.com Natural Healing Resources: www.natures-medicine.com   More info on Dr. Eric Spiegel:   General Info: www.ericspiegelphd.com Group Practice: www.therapistsinphiladelphia.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/drericspiegel

    Episode 1: Welcome to TRANCEforming Relationships

    Relationships have the power to transform people's lives - individually and collectively, positively and negatively.  And this power can often be felt resonantly in the first few seconds of an interaction, through key factors like the tone of someone's voice and their non-verbal cues. Join co-hosts Dr. Eric Spiegel and David Alter - two seasoned health psychologists, relational therapists, and hypnotherapists - as they introduce you to a wide-ranging podcast about how trance forms in relationship, and how relationship transforms lives.   In this first episode, Eric and David will provide an overview of the many forms of relationship that contain elements of trance, and with them, the capacity for transformation.  These include our relationships with... Our neurobiology, where the role of curiosity, discovery, the known, and the novel are explored The process of change, a process deeply connected to the nature of trance and entrancing experience Ourselves, whether between mind and body, or between parts of self Our partners/spouses/friends, where themes of safety, security, attachment, and connection in the presence of difference are examined  The world of ideas, beliefs, attitudes, and fear, where the hosts explore polarization, alienation, demonization, and risk of violence The global wisdom traditions that speak to core truths about life, love, and connection that, sadly, we too often disregard at our own peril The world of nature and the larger world within which we all co-evolved, and how our evolutionary endowments still contain important keys for physical, emotional, mental, and relational health.
