Saskia

I liked being a mom of four and we were a family.

I wish I could say that we had a happy end to our story, but that wasn't reality.

What if mind control is real?

Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car?

Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you?

Can you get someone to join your cult?

NLP was used on me to access my subconscious.

NLP, aka neuro-linguistic programming, is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics, and psychology.

Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain.

Mind Games is the story of NLP.

It's crazy cast of disciples and the fake doctor who invented it at a new age commune and sold it to guys in suits.

He stood trial for murder and got acquitted.

The biggest mind game of all?

NLP might actually work.

This is wild.

Listen to Mind Games on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

A year into dating, Mike was staying at Saskia's apartment most nights.

And then my lease was getting ready to be up.

And Mike and I both felt like it was just the natural progression to rent a place together.

So we started looking and it was really exciting.
