Hypnotherapy. Is it all just swinging watches and unconvincing past-life regression, or does hypnosis have a clinical basis that can help with mental health issues? (Spoiler: yes. Yes, it does.) This episode's guest is clinical hypnotherapist Dr Steve Carey PhD, Head of School at the Academy of Hypnotic Science in Victoria, Australia. Steve offers some sharp insights into why anxiety can feel so profound and crippling, and how to reframe it and take back control. Also: • Tim explains how a mood tracking app has helped him realise he might not be so persistently miserable after all. • Andy goes on about a George Lucas film and how it relates to mental health. (Not the one you're thinking.) • Listener feedback and the usual desperate pleas for reviews and support and recognition. And - during one bit, there's a weird audio glitch that sounds like a ghost speaking. Jesus.
