Episode Description
This is where things start to make sense.
In Part 2, Deane explains how hypnosis works in a way that feels practical and grounded. No gimmicks. No loss of control. Just a better understanding of how your mind actually operates.
Anxiety is not random. It is learned. It is your brain trying to protect you based on past experiences. The problem is that those responses do not always match your life today. That is where people get stuck.
Deane walks through how hypnosis helps you access the subconscious mind, where those patterns live. He also shares simple tools, like creating an anchor, that can help you interrupt anxiety in the moment and start building a different response.
This part of the conversation is about taking your power back. Not in a loud or dramatic way. In a steady, repeatable way that actually works over time.
G-Rex and Dirty Skittles ask the questions people are already thinking. What if it does not work? What if you have tried before? What if you feel stuck?
The answer is not perfection. It is practice.
Part 2 shows that healing is not about becoming someone new. It is about finally working with the mind you already have.

Espías: clave secreta
By shows
Hay guerras que no aparecen en los libros de historia. Se libran en silencio, en los despachos más discretos y en las calles más concurridas. Sus protagonistas no llevan uniforme. Sus victorias no se celebran. Y sus derrotas, a veces, cambian el mundo. Espías: Clave Secreta es un podcast de Vicente Vallés sobre los hombres y mujeres que operaron en la sombra durante el siglo XX. Topos que pasaron décadas infiltrados en el corazón del enemigo. Operaciones diseñadas para engañar a ejércitos enteros. Traiciones que costaron miles de vidas. Y espías que, en secreto, evitaron una guerra nuclear. Cada episodio, un caso y cada caso una historia que parece imposible y que, sin embargo, ocurrió. Créditos Dirección y guion: Vicente Vallés y Cristina de Juan Narración: Vicente Vallés Diseño de sonido: Andrés Moraleda Una producción de Onda Cero Podcast y Antena 3 Noticias
