The Neurobiology of the Limitation of Talk Therapy with Christian Skoorsmith

Hypnosis and Therapy: Implicit & Explicit Memory and Healing the mind.

I'm excited to have award-winning hypnotist Christian as my guest today. We talk about his unique approach to hypnosis and how our professional relationship thrives despite differing viewpoints. We discuss the profound impact of hypnosis on people's lives and explore the roles of implicit memories and procedural memory in shaping behavior. Whether you're curious about hypnosis or interested in how Christian supports the transgender community, there's something here for you.
