Why Mental Health Support Is More Urgent Than Ever
Today’s teens are under pressure like never before. From the constant noise of social media to fears around safety and future uncertainty, the challenges they face are both new and overwhelming. Dr. Anbar breaks down why emotional well-being should be prioritized just as much as physical health—and how we can help young people build tools for emotional regulation early in life.
What Hypnosis Really Is—And Isn’t
Forget the swinging watches and movie clichés. Dr. Anbar explains that hypnosis is actually a natural mental state—one we experience every day. It’s similar to getting lost in a good book or driving on autopilot. The real magic lies in using this focused state of mind to visualize positive outcomes, build new habits, and shift your mindset.
How Teens Can Build Confidence and Emotional Resilience
One of the most powerful takeaways from this episode is the idea that belief drives behavior. As Dr. Anbar puts it, “If you believe you can grow, you’re right. If you believe you’re stuck, you’re also right.” He shares inspiring stories of young patients who used self-hypnosis and mindset techniques to overcome chronic health issues and life challenges
