How does self hypnosis actually work?
I've been doing self hypnosis for over 2 years with success, I'd love to know how it actually works however, how does it change the brain? And can someone change their physical body with thoughts? I know you can simulate a tiger attack, I'm not sure what that does exactly I'd have to look into it, maybe you can shine a light on this?
Anterior Midcigulate Cortex Growth
Will power has been a topic on the podcast recently and it was expressed that doing something challenging and particularly doing something you don’t enjoy will actually grow the AMC as fascinating as that is. I’m curious if there is any evidence that the anterior midcigulate cortex grows when we refrain from doing something we derive delight. As a recovering alcoholic, willpower, discipline and self-control are very attractive behaviors. The phenomenon of craving is often very uncomfortable but let’s say one refrains from their DOC(drug of choice), would this then grow the AMC contributing to one’s willpower in addiction?
