Episode 3 of the The Human Nature Podcast covers the core element of trance. It features Jeffrey Zeig, PhD and an introductory conversation about trance and PACT with Stan Tatkin. Jeff has an encyclopedic knowledge of not only hypnosis/trance but also the history and people that have created psychotherapy as we know it today. He is the perfect guide into the world of hypnosis which he describes as, "the mother of experiential approaches to psychotherapy."To borrow one of Jeff's words, this episode is "dense." Jeff references the mechanics of art, science, sports and the card game bridge to describe the underpinnings of trance states. With his help, we turn our attention to the ways PACT "promote[s] relational states" to evoke in couples the feelings and experiences of secure functioning.Time:Jason Into: 0:00-00:01:45Stan Interview: 00:01:50-00:36:30Jeffrey Zeig Interview: 00:36:36-0:1:37:08 Links:Erickson Foundation: https://www.erickson-foundation.org/Jeffrey Zeig's website: http://jeffreyzeig.com/
