Sharpen your focus today and join thousands boosting productivity with self-hypnosis

Imagine a medicine in capsule form. The medicine is what makes a chemical effect in the body, but in order for it to do its work, it must safely reach your stomach. That’s why it’s administered in a capsule. An empty capsule would do nothing, and pouring the contents of the capsule onto your tongue might reduce the medicine’s potency. Together, the two elements provide the relief you seek.

In this analogy, hypnosis is the capsule. It’s the instrument that allows the safe delivery of content to your body. The hypnotic suggestions offered by Dr. Spiegel (or your licensed clinical hypnotherapist) are the contents of the capsule. These suggestions are the “essence” of the hypnotic experience, but they are nothing without their delivery system.

Yes! Self-hypnosis is safe for nearly everyone, as long as it is done with the help of a licensed clinical hypnotherapist. In the case of Reveri, all hypnosis sessions are facilitated by Dr. Spiegel, renowned psychiatrist with 45+ years of hypnosis clinical experience and research.

Three brain networks are particularly relevant during hypnosis:

The Salience Network (SN), which is responsible for monitoring information the brain receives and deciding how important it is.

The Executive Control Network (ECN), which manages more complex cognitive abilities like problem-solving, reasoning, and working memory.

The Default Mode Network (DMN), which is most active when our brains are not focusing on the here and now (such as when daydreaming).

Hypnosis involves highly focused attention that can be mobilized to problem-solve by attending to novel aspects of an experience and putting aside more troublesome ones.

Meditation is less problem-focused, more designed to keep people from fighting an unpleasant experience.

Hypnosis and meditation also have different effects in the brain: hypnosis separates the Executive Control Network from the Default Mode Network (DMN), which involves self-reflection, while meditation turns down activity in the DMN.

Yes! In Reveri we combine two things: a positive way of approaching the problem – paying attention to what you are for rather than what you are against – with the intensity of focus that comes with hypnosis.

With hypnosis you can intensify your concentration, disconnect from habitual ways of approaching it, and enhance your cognitive flexibility – openness to new points of view.
