Episode Summary
In this episode, Mike and Chris address one of the most common myths about hypnosis: Can you hypnotize someone into confessing to cheating? Spoiler: No. Hypnosis is a collaborative and ethical process that requires consent and can’t override free will.
You'll also learn practical self-hypnosis techniques for better sleep, how creatine can enhance mental clarity and rest, and how Mike’s Art Gallery technique is helping hypnosis clients break through blocks (including writer’s block) without revealing personal details.
Plus, a clever negotiation story, Mel Robbins’ mindset reframe, and the usual dose of off-the-wall humor involving donuts, steering wheels, and nitric acid.
