#170 UX Designer - The Job Tale of Steyn Viljoen

“Hypnosis leverages on the plasticity of the brain”. “The subconscious is a 7-year-old kid”. “Imagination is more powerful than reality”. “If you think about something it becomes real, because the brain doesn’t make the difference between the thought and the reality”. These and more messages emerge in today’s Job Tale dedicated to the profession of the Hypnotist.There is often a misconception about Hypnosis, and its use as a therapy. We often think of its use as a form of entertainment, when we watch staged hypnosis and the powers of persuasion. Livie Gallone is a hypnotist and she sheds light on her profession and what hypnotism means.
