In this episode we talk about:

• What hypnosis actually is — and how it does or doesn’t differ from the mainstream conceptions (ie stage hypnotists)
• The types of people who are — and aren’t — hypnotizable. And why. 
• We go over the steps of self-hypnosis, so you can do it at home
• We talk about the differences between hypnosis and a flow state
• The difference between hypnosis and meditation 
• What happens in the brain during the hypnosis
• And what hypnosis is helpful for, including stress, anxiety, and panic (sidenote: Dan agreed to do the interview because he really wanted to see if hypnosis could help him with his ongoing claustrophobia on airplanes and elevators. You’ll get to hear him try…)
