SAN FRANCISCO, March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Reveri, the world-leading self-hypnosis app co-founded by Dr. David Spiegel�Associate Chair of Psychiatry at Stanford University�announced compelling new findings from an analysis of 100,000+ users, revealing that 60.3% of individuals are hypnotizable, with 35% falling into the "highly hypnotizable" category. In parallel, recent genetic research from Dr. Spiegel's lab shows that hypnotizability is influenced by specific gene variants�particularly in the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene� explaining why some people respond more quickly to self-hypnosis.

Developed from 45+ years of research and backed by 400+ peer-reviewed studies, Dr. Spiegel's self-hypnosis methodologies help people achieve fast, drug-free relief from pain, stress and insomnia, and conquer detrimental habits such as smoking or vaping. Central to this approach is his interactive hypnotizability test, a 10-minute interactive audio-guided session that leads users through steps and questions designed to challenge their consciousness to determine how hypnotizable they are.
"Our research shows that self-hypnosis, when grounded in rigorous science, can make a profound difference in people's lives," said Dr. David Spiegel.
