Susi Vine is joined by Dr. Gary Sprouse, a retired primary care physician who now uses hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming to help people reduce stress and access their “happy place.” The author of ‘Highway to Your Happy Place: A Roadmap to Less Stress,’ Dr. Sprouse describes “stress blindness,” distinguishes stressors from stress responses, and outlines “happy place” rooms, such as gratitude, pleasure, anticipation, fulfillment, that you can decorate as you desire. He explains how perceptions arise from a “perspective prism” and how reframing can transform trauma, panic, and low self-esteem to end cycles of overwhelm and victimhood. Dr. Sprouse pokes holes in the prevailing addiction disease model, sharing his “stress reducer loop” concept that recognizes coping mechanisms and resolves the source of stress to help his patients successfully free themselves from the habits that sabotage their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
