    Christy Cowgill - A Nurse Anesthetist Explains the Power of Hypnosis

    This week on No More Strangers, J.T. sits down with Christy Cowgill, an advanced practice nurse in anesthesia and psychiatric mental health, and a Board-Certified Hypnotist. For decades, Christy has operated at the intense intersection of hard clinical science and the fluid mystery of the mind.In this mind-bending episode, we explore why the brain under hypnosis looks identical to a brain on LSD or heavy anesthetics like Propofol. We dive into the controversial idea that our unconscious mind might be actively manifesting our physical illnesses, the clinical reality of the placebo effect , and why the words we speak are the most powerful medicine we have.Whether you are interested in the mechanics of NLP, the healing potential of breathwork, or just want to experience a real-time hypnotic exercise (wait for the lemon experiment), this conversation will completely reframe how you view your own mind.Links to Research Documents!fMRI: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/human-neuroscience/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2023.1286336/full MRS: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-80795-3#Ack1 EEG: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010945224001461 University of Zurich, Switzerland: https://www.news.uzh.ch/en/articles/news/2025/hypnosis.htmlConnect with Christy Cowgill:Learn more about her practice and training at: EnterIntoCalm.comFollow the Podcast:https://www.instagram.com/nomorestrangerspodcast/

    UAP 101: Introduction to the Phenomenon | Brian Anslinger

    We’ve all seen the headlines since 2017, but what is actually going on with the UAP phenomenon? If you are new to the conversation, or if you are trying to piece together the leap from "extraterrestrials" to "consciousness," then come on in! Today, J.T. sits down with journalist, executive producer, and UAP college instructor Brian Anslinger for a comprehensive "UAP 101." We strip away the sensationalism to discuss the real stakes of disclosure. We explore how pop culture (Star Trek, Star Wars, etc) might be acting as "soft disclosure" to prepare people for a larger reality. We also dive into the moral dilemma of granting amnesty to the gatekeepers, and why reducing the stigma around "experiencers" is a necessary step we can take to find the truth. Guest Bio: Brian Anslinger is the Executive Producer for KOIN / KRCW Everyday Northwest in Portland, Oregon. He is also an adjunct instructor at Portland Community College, where he teaches a foundational course on UAPs and the phenomenon.
