Mind Games
KaleidoscopeWhat if you could hypnotize yourself into a better you? Or…. secretly hypnotize others into giving you anything you want?
That’s the promise of NLP, which emerged in 1970s California and then took over self-help… in spite of its connection to a gruesome unsolved murder in the late 1980s .
NLP is the secret sauce connecting life coach Tony Robbins, Wolf of Wall Street Jordan Belfort, pick-up art... more

- Schnazzy is not a word
I think the content is interesting but I wish that the host would stop adding CH to words that begin with S. She pronounces words like snazzy as schnazzy. It’s very difficult to get into listening when she repeatedly mispronounces words.

United States18 days ago - So interesting!
This is the exact kind of topic I love to learn about. I know a lot about cults and have listened to a lot of podcasts and seen a lot of documentaries and I don’t think I’ve ever encountered this topic before. As a side note, I’m so tired of reading reviews where listeners take issue with hosts’ feminine vocal patterns. Boring, misogynistic take. There’s nothing wrong with the way the hosts talk.

Canada21 days ago - Mostly just a true crime podcast
I hoped this would be more informative about NLP, hypnosis, mind hacking, and essentially other common manifestation principles that overlap with NLP concepts. However, I felt it was primarily instead a “true crime” feeling saga (I’m not a true crime fan at all) about some terrible people and the awful things they do and get away with-including murder, drug abuse, threatening children at gunpoint, and various other things that instead left me feeling even more depressed about the world full of m... more
Apple Podcasts3HdggggggggUnited States24 days ago - Could have been good
But the hosts are just so hard to listen to. Their banter makes it sound like they think this is all a joke. Many of these are real patients struggling and There ate real proven therapies woven into this technique. And instead of teasing out the truth from the fiction they just make light of it all and call it all weird.
Apple Podcasts2FerppppppypantsUnited Statesa month ago - interesting podcast but was so frustrated at the lack of scientific investigation!!
episode 5 claims that EMDR’s use of eye movements haven’t been proven as being beneficial — it has. it’s neuroscience. bilateral stimulation (activating both sides of the brain) is essential to healing broken neuro pathways or creating new ones. this is why it works so well with people who have experienced trauma — the trauma has essentially been trapped in their body with nowhere to go. rapid eye movements and bilateral stimulation of the brain allow for the release of trauma. the same concept ... more
