People often ask whether energy healing is "just the placebo effect."

In this episode of Life Made Easier, Tiffany Hunter, PhD and Karen Janes, DClinPsy explore what the placebo effect actually is, why researchers are paying closer attention to it, and what it may reveal about healing, belief, the nervous system, and the body's natural capacity for change.

We discuss surprising research showing that placebos can work even when people know they are taking them, the role of trust and safety in healing, and why understanding the placebo effect may actually help us better understand how healing works.

✨ Topics include:

• What the placebo effect really is
• Open-label placebo studies
• The connection between belief and healing
• The nocebo effect
• Nervous system regulation
• Reiki and acupuncture research
• Self-healing and recovery
• Why relationships matter in healing
• How change may begin before it appears physically
