Anthony Galie joins me today to share a revolutionary new theory of hypnosis, based on the role of mutual inhibition. He reveals how consciousness is always competing with trance-like behaviors and identifies the types of people who are most likely to respond to suggestion. Anthony describes the role of chemical switches on the hypnotic trance and shares how the hypnotic induction narrows a person’s consciousness.
Anthony is the founder of the Corporate Hypnotist Masterclass and the Anthony Galie Seminars, where he promotes his talks on the subconscious aspects of doing business.

I have listened to many of these podcasts and I always learn something new. However, this podcast is a mindblower. Jason, you often refer to this era as being a renaissance in hypnosis and the research that Anthony Galie references certainly shows that. It is something that every hypnotist needs to know, if only for their own professional knowledge.
