Brain Software With Mike Mandel: Hypnosis | Nlp | Self Improvement

Here are the show notes for this episode: Mike has arrived from Bob Lake, because he cares about you! Hypnothoughts Live is nearly here! It’s the best hypnosis conference on Earth. Mike wants to talk about …but Chris interjects that his attention span is next to zero. (No kidding! He didn’t let Mike finish what he was saying!) Television used to be black and white with slow scenes and character development. It’s all about focus, folks! Does acetaminophen really reduce empathy? Apparently, if you take it, you just don’t care! Mike keeps trying, but somehow, just can’t seem to care! Microexpressions are not being judged accurately and we are saying goodbye to the power of mirror neurons. If we stop caring about each other…what kind of therapists will we be? Chris used to read 1,000 word articles, but something’s gone horribly wrong. Even Mike’s not immune (gasp!) It takes a couple of days for Mike’s brain to slow down. Switching on and off like a crazy monkey! It’s like a drug, and Chris is onto something… Mik

Here are the show notes for this episode: Mike begins the show by admitting that he likes LOUD! And why not? He was into Black Sabbath way back in 1970! “If it’s too loud, you’re just too damn old!” Mike saw a plastic flying saucer being lifted by heavy equipment… Our student Florian has taken the hypnotic storm to Africa…The picture of the bell is proof! Check out Caveman Lodge in Zanzibar! You can see the bell… Whenever he gets fired, Chris just rehires himself. Self-directed neuroplasticity coming up… Las Vegas is looming…Come to Hypnothoughts Live 2017. Mike’s session is filling up… Mike suspects Chris has had a stroke, but it’s only a demi-stroke. The Ryan Intervention discussed…Created by our Enneagram One friend… Don’t lend other people’s stuff! He unwinds by doing woodworking, and his wife’s on his case. He offers drugs, alcoholism, massage parlours, as alternative ways to unwind. It works, because it’s really reframey! She saw it as an annoyance and a waste of time, but he shows the benefit. Books a

Here are the show notes for this episode: Mike begins by screaming “Loochie Hi Oh!” in the background, which sets the tone for what’s coming… Are we all hypnotized? The quarter game on steroids! Chris fears this might be an intervention Using PGO spikes to your advantage – Yes, there’s sound neuroscience for this! Mike does a good Gandalf impression, which Chris doesn’t pick up on, because he hasn’t seen The Lord of the Rings The electricity intervention! Best used in a text message or in a chat room. It really sounds weird… Backgammon for blood! Shut her down! This stuff really comes out! Are you into…you know…electricity? It sounds like it might be obscene or some horrible sexual thing that nobody talks about! Mike recalls the Jack 0′ Lantern Attack in his online chess games! Chris directs us to the PGO spike – Shock, novelty and surprise! That damn guy Bryan! He’s been attacking us online without motive, and may actually be a dick… Mike gives Chris permission to Ken Sweatman the story, and naturally Chris

Welcome to Episode 83 of Brain Software with Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! The Hypnotic Hurricane is horrendous in the scope of it’s harshness! Watch out power lines and trailer parks… Check out the show notes below while you’re listening. Keep sending us topic suggestions and show feedback. We love hearing from all of you! Here are the show notes for this episode: Chris does a great introduction, welcoming all of us! But he says “glance” and it sounds like “glans” which is unfortunate. Only 2 weeks to the Architecture of Hypnosis, June training… The May class was awesome, as was Karl Smith’s amazing Kinetic Shift training. We had our first neurosurgeon in the class. We have credibility at last… Mike says “amazing” twice, which is terrible, so he wants to begin speaking in received speech. The story of the Facebook ads. Warning! Grammar violations, but Mike invokes Webster’s Dictionary… A One Star Review! WTF!?!?!? Chris was being the Good Cop, which was very nice! Better to have our friends and fans come

Here are the show notes for this episode: Chris begins badly by explaining in advance how nonsensical this podcast is. Mike can never get him to stop telegraphing or debriefing the humour… Woah! This stuff really comes out! Hilarious to us…but still disturbing. Architecture of Hypnosis training in May is SOLD OUT! There is still some space in June…Book it now! Mike sneaks in a guinea pig laugh. The Wellness Academy is better than ever. Mike is very concerned about the umbrella in Chris’ garden… Aren’t you glad the dictionary is in alphabetical order? The mail bag is in! Dan at The Bay checkout…Let’s change people’s states! We do not respond to the world, and neither do you! Our experience is framed by our language… Do you have to do something? Or do you get to do something? For the record: Chris admits he did not get beaten up as a kid! Another email from our online student John; the pharmacist who falls flat on his face. There are lots of ways to interrupt a pattern! Shock, surprise, fear, etc., can trigger

Here are the show notes for this episode: Yep! We made it to number 81! The most victorious podcast ever… If you’re going on a picnic, there’s going to be ants in your sandwiches…but no ants in your casters, thanks to the Shyzjigg Corporation! Mike is almost a knight! But no history lesson here… Mike’s a cook…not a chef, but he loves knives. Triggers! What are they and what the heck do they do to us? A bacon discussion ensues…Let’s call people “Bacon”! Chris’ daughters Staphysagria and Vorolaya will love this! Call people bacon, unless they’re Jewish. Keep it kosher with chicken bacon if necessary! As our friend Jason Linett says “We help people.” We discuss the hilarious “hide the phone” prank Mike played on Chris last week (The funny thing is, Mike did it again at lunch after this podcast was recorded!) Chris is clearly puzzled and amazed, but Mike lets him run with it. Chris actually calls Mike “you bastard” which is horrible in a family rated podcast. Such filth. The waitress stole the phone, but she doe

Mike is speaking remotely via Skype, despite his winter tires, because Toronto had 500 car crashes in one day! Chris preframes “the great content we have”… Chris and his wife Tildanna go for a walk together, despite the weather. Chris is way too interested in the subject, clearly thinking this is a promotional

Welcome to Episode 77 of Brain Software with Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! Mike has been dubbed “The King of the Hypnotic Kingdom”, which Chris admits is fairly lame.

The Trio is addressed…Mike loves the music of Dead Can Dance. You will too… Mike coughs as he says Microsoft, so nobody hears him. He’s having his DNA analyzed and wants black blood to justify his obsession with the blues and the poetry of Langston Hughes. If he has any black DNA, Mike is going to claim to be black from now on, as his personal kick into the very pouch of racism and racists ever
