Uncovering Mysteries that Surround Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a communication technique that may, or may not, induce a trance or a trance-like state; it is a temporary state of altered attention in an individual. In a clinical setting it is conducted by a hypnotherapist who has obtained specialized training and certification in the use of clinical hypnosis within the context of counseling, and psychotherapy. Hypnosis also can be conducted by alone – self-hypnosis. A hypnotic trance is a naturally occurring condition wherein one's attention is closely focused and relatively free of distractions. The individual’s attention may be focused internally (thoughts or images, or both) or externally (a place, a book, or a person). The focus of attention is so intense other stimuli in the environment are blocked out of conscious awareness for a time. Daydreaming and some forms of meditation are examples of trance states.

As a complement to psychotherapy, hypnosis helps people go into a relaxed, comfortable state to achieve specific therapeutic results. In clinical hypnosis, the therapist can make suggestions calculated to help individuals put together specific internal processes (feelings, memories, images and self-talk) that will lead to mutually-agreed-upon outcomes.

Suggestions made to an individual under hypnosis influence behavior when the listener: is relaxed, receptive and open to the suggestions; experiences visual, auditory, and/or bodily movement representations of the suggestions; anticipates and envisions the result of these suggestions.

These are made possible through the use of hypnotic language patterns. Hypnosis language patterns are composed of directed visualization, stories, guided memories, equivalence, repetition, and associative statements, and cause-and-effect.

Hypnosis carries very few risks. Hypnosis however is not advisable for individuals with certain medical problems, who are actively abusing drugs or alcohol, or who are delusional or hallucinatory. In the same manner, hypnosis should not be used for physical problems, such as pain, unless a physician has been consulted to determine underlying causes.

Hypnosis is not recommended for small children since they lack the required attention span to focus their attention. More interactive treatment methods can be used, however, such as art therapy, play therapy, storytelling, and guided visualization, during which helpful suggestions can be made to the child.
Hypnosis is often used with the purpose of uncovering memories which have been selectively blocked out. Hypnosis may or may not work in this regard. When memories do surface they may be painful and distressing, but not always necessarily so.

Some individuals may feel a little disoriented after hypnosis. If this is the case, the therapist and client should work together prior to the start of the session to ensure that the client is fully alert before leaving the therapist's office.

Clinical hypnosis has been employed in a variety of therapeutic applications, among them are:

• Preparation for Medical or Dental Procedures
• Confidence Building
• Help with Life Transitions
• Treating Phobias
• Insomnia
• Interpersonal Problems
• Depression
• Pain Management
• Stress and Anxiety Management
• Habit Control
• Academic and Athletic Performance
• Removing Blocks to Motivation and Creativity
• Treatment of Grief and Loss

The Secret of Hypnosis

Hypnotism is the scientific and clinical use of hypnosis to treat patients who exhibit certain medical or psychological problems. Hypnosis, or a hypnotic state, is a temporary condition of altered attention in an individual. Scientific evidence suggests that hypnotism is useful when it is practiced by qualified professionals.

Psychologists, scientists and psychoanalysts have shown that hypnosis affects the psychological, social, and physical experience of an individual. They also affirm that there is no magic connected with hypnotism, and that the hypnotist has no special power whatsoever. The effects of hypnosis are dependent on the willingness and motivation of the person being hypnotized. In hypnosis, a change in the quality and focus of a person's attention alters his or her internal and external experience.

Although the term hypnosis comes from the Greek word hypnos which means sleep, hypnosis is remotely related to sleep. Hypnosis involves active and intense mental concentration. Hypnotized people can talk, write, and walk. They are usually fully aware of what is said and done.

A misconception about hypnosis is the erroneous belief that hypnotists could influence their subjects to perform criminal acts or actions. No clear evidence exists to show that hypnosis can induce such behavior. People under hypnosis can and do resist suggestions, they can distinguish between right and wrong. The public performances of hypnotism through a circus, magic show or movies are responsible for the generalized misconceptions about hypnosis. Such productions often make hypnotism appear overly simple and may tempt untrained people to try to perform hypnosis.

Inducing hypnosis is achieved through several techniques. The best-known technique use direct commands that consist of simple suggestions repeated continuously in the same tone of voice. The hypnotist instructs the subject to focus attention on an object or fixed point; the hypnotist then tells the subject to relax, breathe deeply, and allow the eyelids to grow heavy and to close.

Others use verbal and nonverbal techniques also known as indirect inductions, usually omitting the use of a focal object. The subject is made to respond to a story or a mental puzzle presented by the hypnotist. The hypnotist does not directly tell the patient to relax or to close the eyes but instead suggests these actions through the story or puzzle – indirectly.

Hypnosis affects some people within a short time span (seconds or minutes) while others cannot be hypnotized easily. There are also different levels of hypnosis: light hypnosis under which the person becomes rested and easily follows simple directions and deep hypnosis under which complete anesthetic effect is experienced. The level of hypnosis though is not indicative of effectiveness of the treatment of medical or psychological problems.

Hypnotists may concentrate on a particular phenomenon of hypnosis to help treat their patients. One particularly useful phenomenon is the ability of some hypnotized people to remember forgotten experiences. Human beings often repress or selectively block memories from their consciousness if these are associated with shocking or traumatic experience. These repressed memories sometimes influence an individual's behavior and may result in certain forms behavioral disorder. For example, a young female victim of child abuse may exhibit behaviors of promiscuity or hatred for men as a result of her traumatic experiences. By hypnotizing these patients, doctors are able to help the patients remember their experiences, relieve the emotional tensions that had built up, and help the patients regain their personal well-being and self-esteem.

Age regression is another well-known and often used hypnotic phenomenon. The subject may ‘relive’ incidents that occurred in his or her life at the age of 7 and may appear to talk, act, and even think as a 7-year-old! In this manner, events and feelings that may have had some bearing on their present condition is recalled. The hypnotist can then guide the subject to reinterpret the situation from a different point of view with additional information, new insights, and increased coping skills.

Terminating a hypnosis session is not difficult. A person usually remains in hypnosis until given a signal by the hypnotist by counting, an indirect suggestion, or by producing some type of sound. However, there are instances when the subject ends the session even when no signal is given. Very rarely, a hypnotist may encounter difficulty ending the hypnosis session. This is one of the underlying reasons why only trained professionals should practice hypnotism.

Mistaken Beliefs About Hypnosis

First and foremost, hypnosis is not about mind control or brainwashing as most people mistakenly believe – this is farthest from the truth.

All people change our minds, decisions, actions, and behavior patterns because of external stimuli and factors in the environment. Personal change is the result of experiential dynamics, the understanding of specific data sets or information, presented through valid arguments by someone in authority or someone close to you – emotionally or authoritatively. Everybody – your husband or wife, advertisers, teachers, politicians, lawyers, entertainers, officers of the law, government officials, parents, and ministers – use methods of persuasion and influence in varying degrees. We regularly practice hypnosis in our daily lives.

During hypnosis, you are not powerless, immobilized or unconscious. You know exactly where you are and are aware of what is happening in the area around you. You can do things you normally do – change your sitting position, scratch an itch, sneeze, or cough. During hypnosis, you hear sounds around you – radio music, people talking, a phone ringing. You can respond to any situation that needs your immediate personal attention. You remain oriented as to person, place, and time – there is no out of body experience as stereotyped in the movies. You can even hold a conversation during hypnosis. You can open your eyes and bring yourself out of hypnosis at any time you wish.

Hypnosis is not sleep. However, some of us may get so relaxed during hypnosis we may fall asleep. Even if this were the case, during hypnosis a part of our mind continues to listen to the voice of the therapist. In hypnosis, we can and are able to follow simple instructions.

We all have differing reactions in experiencing hypnosis. Some experience a deep, restful feeling, while another may experience a light, floating sensation. Some people hear every word spoken by the therapist while others do not, allowing their minds to wander. Some experience brilliant and colorful images, the suggestions they hear whereas some do not. Every individual's experience of hypnosis is unique.

Hypnosis cannot and does not cause anyone to do something against their will or something that contradicts their moral or religious values. A therapist is required and bound by a code of ethics to make only those suggestions which support mutually-agreed-upon outcomes. Furthermore, subjects are not receptive to suggestions that go against their morals or values – because receptivity is one of the anchors of success in hypnosis.

Hypnosis is not a solution or magic arrow to solve every problem. It is not a magic potion. Even with hypnosis, it is necessary for an individual to do hard-work planning, research and preparation about the types of changes you want to achieve in your life. You must still take necessary action to get the desired results. Hypnosis is not a cure-all. Although hypnosis is effective in general there are no guarantees that hypnosis will work for you in the same manner it did for another individual. Hypnosis is a tool, and like any other tool it can only function to the optimum based on the capability of the individual using it.

Hypnosis, Religion and Society

Hypnosis is derived from the Greek word hypnos, and is described in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as an induced state that resembles sleep and in which the subject is responsive to suggestions of the inducer (hypnotist or hypnotherapist).

Going by the definition, hypnosis is brought on artificially either by external (another person) or internal (self-hypnosis) means. Presently, hypnosis and its underlying effects on mental and physical improvement of man is the subject of experiment and methodical study by men of science, physicians or physiologists.

Passages in the Bible and the Talmud indicate that the phenomena of induced sleep states, visions of spiral wheels, cures by Rabbis (known as sorcery) in early Christian era, miraculous cures which could be due to suggestion, and creation of illusions by rabbis as reported in the Talmud are recorded references of hypnosis – more than 2,000 years ago. Biblical and Talmudic references to hypnosis (hypnotic phenomena) are intermingled with treatments of psychiatric illnesses.

Even Eastern religions and philosophies have their own recorded references about hypnosis. A Nepalese shaman drums himself into a trance state, demonstrating an ability to enter and leave an altered state of consciousness and control experience; the meditation of a Buddhist monk is a training awareness to examine experience as minutely as possible, in effect a heightened awareness (Vipassana); a yoga practitioner engages in concentration, focuses on a fixed stimulus and holds it unwaveringly, until a sense of unity with the object and ultimately with the Self is achieved.

A comparison of the recorded references of hypnosis from both Western and Eastern cultures reveal that Western experience is primarily derived almost exclusively from the waking state; Eastern experience draw their view from induced dreams, meditative, or contemplative states. Interestingly, most Eastern references can be termed as self-induced (self hypnosis) while Western references are mostly externally induced hypnosis.

An analysis of East-West recorded references on hypnosis can bring about a better understanding of hypnosis because experiences can be compared and analyzed based on indetified and quantifiable phenomena of control, awareness of environment, concentration, mental energy, emotion, identity, out-of-body experience and content of experience. In recognizing the common elements in of different religions and philosophies, we also recognize multi-state psychologies and philosophies.

Easterners who practice hypnosis have learned to manipulate and build on an individual’s inherent ability to bring about self-resolution of life's problems and alleviation of suffering through altered states of consciousness such as dreams, trance states, dissociations, and mystical experiences of various sorts which are cultivated for therapeutic purposes. They claim that an individual’s healing mechanism develops spontaneously and reaches its peak when an individual is distressed but it has to be directed from without.

The Catholic Church, since the mid-19th century did not contravene the advantages of hypnosis but rather warns the faithful to be prudent on the matter. "The…mere act of employing physical means otherwise permissible, is not morally forbidden, provided that it does not tend to an illicit end or one which may be in any manner evil" – Response of the Holy Office, 2 June, 1840. ‘Hypnotism is tolerated, in theory and in practice, to the exclusion of phenomena which would certainly be preternatural.’ This is the opinion of most theologians of the Catholic Church, and it is the utterance of reason.

However, aside from the Church, civil authorities are also concerned in order to preclude accidents resulting from the use of hypnotism. Most western countries have passed laws that effectively limited the practice of hypnosis per se. Denmark and Germany even passed laws making the diploma of Doctor of Medicine a pre-condition for the practice of hypnosis.

Cool Hypnosis Technique - The Handshake Induction

The basic form of the Handshake Induction is that of confusion induction. In plain words, your target expects a certain set of circumstances to happen and is confused when what occurs does not match what they expect.

This fact, combined with pacing and leading causes a rapid trance induction that can be deepened by rapid use of hypnotic language.

Here's how to do it:

Walk up to your victim confidently, make eye contact, raise your right hand towards them as if to shake hands and say:

"Hi, I'm pleased to..."

Break the handshake pattern NOW by doing something unexpected:

* Adjust your cuff-link
* Scratch your nose
* Reach for a drink
* Grab their wrist and lift up their hand
* Grab your ankle
* Raise your hand up to your nose
* Do something unexpected!

But DON'T BREAK EYE CONTACT!

As you do this, pretend to slip into a trance, just let your mind go blank and let your facial expression follow. They will follow you!

And then continue:
"Sorry , I know what you're thinking, you're out of it... we all think that when this happens. So just RELAX. Just SLEEP. It's great that you're taking time to really think harder about it. It's as if you're unconscious mind, right now, is making atrance for you to SLEEP through.

You're drifting. Relaxing. Listening. And breathing deeper ... as you go into trance ..."

To release this type of trance, you might use a script similar to the one below:

OK ... as I count from 1 to 5
you'll awake, refreshed, relaxed and fully alert ...
one ... two
beginning to feel wide awake ...
three ... come back now ...
four ... wide awake ...
and five ... wide awake ...
you are wide awake
mind and body have returned to normality

Elements of Basic Hypnotic Induction

The basic hypnotic induction follows a classic form, is easy to perform and therefore great for beginners. Here are the elements of this type of induction:

a. The Truism

The statement at the start of the induction is the basicelement of a linguistic technique called pacing and leading. Pacing is the practice of meeting the subject's own experience. By commenting upon this, the hypnotist can useit to lead them into hypnotic trance.

At the start of this particular induction, the subject's eyes are elevated above the normal position. The eye muscles will inevitably tire because they are in an unnatural and strained position. The hypnotist anticipates this with the comment about the eyes becoming tired and the eyelids becoming heavy. This suggests to the subject that the hypnotist is actually producing the effect. Further commands will now be more readily accepted.

b. Rhythm

When hypnotising a subject, I would normally observe their rate of breathing and synchronise my speech and own breathing pattern with their breaths. This is done by watching the chest rise and fall or observing the nostrils. It is most effective to coincide suggestions of relaxation with the client's exhalations.

As the breathing rate decreases, so the hypnotist's speech rhythm decreases to match. This is a process of feedback since by slowing the speech rhythm, the hypnotist can also decrease the subject's rate of breathing. The hypnotist begins by speaking at normal speed and then gradually decreasing their rate of speech and breathing as the induction proceeds, until it is about 30% of normal.

c. The Hypnotic Voice

There are two kinds of vocal delivery used for hypnotising. The first is the monotone delivery, where there is very little inflexion to the voice. The conscious mind becomes bored by the hypnotist, while the unconscious mind accepts the hypnotic commands.

The second type is the undulating delivery, where the voice gently modulates and soothes the client into trance.

Your hypnosis voice will emanate from the unconscious and there is no 'secret' to this, it will evolve spontaneously. Just use a quiet but authoritative voice that suggests you are confident and know what you are doing. The words should flow smoothly and easily with no uneasy pauses. It would be best to memorise the induction so that you can speak easily and fluently. Eventually, you will discover your own style.

d. Occupying the Conscious Mind

The counting down from 300 is a simple but absorbing task for the conscious mind to perform. Because it is occupied doing this, it is less able to spot the hypnotic suggestions being offered. The critical faculty is being bypassed. This counting down technique can be enhanced by asking the subject to visualise each number as they count down, making each number a different colour. Any technique that occupies the conscious mind is useful in hypnosis because it assists the subject in becoming more inwardly focused and ignoring the stimuli around them.

e. Overloading the Conscious Mind

Despite being occupied with counting down, the conscious mind can still occasionally 'listen in' on the induction. In this induction, confusing combinations of words overload the conscious mind. When tied to suggestions that it is easier and easier to relax, this just seems the best way out. Relax, go with it, suspend conscious thought...

f. Embedded Commands

Commands such as 'relax' or 'your eyes are becoming tired' are preceded by a slight pause. This has the effect of subtly separating these commands from the rest of the text, although this is only perceived by the unconscious mind.

g. Using the Imagination

Remember, the imagination is rooted in the unconscious mind. By encouraging the subject to visualise, the hypnotist encourages the subject to abandon the analytical, critical conscious mind in favour of something more rewarding. The 'message' contained in the treasure chest is entirely personal to the subject rather than being imposed by the hypnotist.

h. The Release/Trance Termination

It is important that the release be performed correctly if the trance is to be of benefit to the subject. Don't worry about taking your time with this part because you cannot bring someone out of trance too slowly. Bringing them out too quickly is another matter entirely. For a subject in a very deep trance it's like being violently woken; disturbing and traumatic. Too quick a release will destroy the effect of the trance, so just take your time.

During the release, you should gradually increase the rhythm of speech and increase volume until you are back to normal levels, as you were when you began the induction.

Understanding the Basic of Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a communication technique that may induce a trance or trance-like state in an individual. This hypnotic trance state is a natural occurring condition where the individual's attention is focused, relaxed and relatively free of distractions. Hypnosis can also be conducted alone or what is commonly known as self-hypnosis. Usually subjects in this hypnotic state of mind have an attention that is directed internally (feelings, thoughts, etc.) or externally (physical objects, person, etc) and their attention can be sometimes quite intense that other stimuli in the environment are blocked out from their awareness.

Similar to the psychotherapy, hypnosis can also help people to enter into a comfortable, relaxed state which in turn will generate specific therapeutic results. In clinical hypnosis, the hypnotherapist will make hypnotic-based suggestions to help individuals arrange specific internal or mental processes, such as thoughts, memories, and feelings, which will eventually lead them to more positive outcomes.

Suggestions that are made to people under the influence of hypnosis can actually change their behavior especially when the listeners are receptive, relatively relaxed, and open to the suggestions. Similarly, the equivalent effects can also be experienced when the subjects are influenced by the auditory or visual representations of the suggestions and also if they actually anticipate and envisage the result of these hypnotic suggestions.

In addition, hypnosis can also sometimes be used to actually uncover memories that have been selectively blocked out by the individuals. Hypnosis may or may not work in this regard but sometimes when the memories do come back, they can sometimes be distressing or unpleasant even though that's not always the case. Some individuals may also feel a little confused or disoriented after undergoing hypnosis. If this is the case, the hypnotherapist and subject may work together earlier before the start of the hypnosis session to actually ensure that the client is fully alert when leaving the hypnotherapist's office.

Finally, the hypnotic induction states can be initiated to an individual by using specific hypnosis language patterns that are usually composed of repetitive speech, guided visualization, associative statements, directed stories, equivalence, and also cause-effect relationship.

Reassuring Reasons why Hypnosis is your Friend

Believe the hype or think for yourself

For too long hypnosis has had a bad or 'difficult' press. If a person doesn't understand something they have 3 options open to them.

1) They might be sceptical and therefore save the trouble of looking further and possibly benefiting.
2) They may conclude it is dangerous and to be avoided at all costs.
3) They may spend time discovering the truth behind the hype.

If you don't know much about a topic it's easy to be suspicious. Some people assume hypnosis is akin to a carnival side show, others consider it mystic mumbo jumbo or 'mind control.' For those who look beyond the hype the truth is far more illuminating.

The most powerful tool you possess

There are potentially huge benefits for those who use hypnosis as part of everyday life. When you understand hypnosis you start to see its potential to improve human performance in the physical, emotional and intellectual realms. For me, rumour, gossip and suspicion weren't good enough.

I determined to learn all I could about hypnosis - I learned every fact and practised every technique under the sun. I took several training courses - some good, some terrible. I invested thousands of hours of devoted study to hypnosis and discovered just what is possible. I hypnotised friends, neighbours and work colleagues. Hypnosis greatly changed things for me on a personal level

How hypnosis helped me

I used to be shy. Thanks to hypnosis I can now talk to thousands at a time and can approach anybody calmly and confidently.

I used to have poor concentration and procrastinate; thanks to hypnosis I can instantly motivate myself.

I used to find physical work outs and exercise exhausting but because of hypnosis I am now in the best shape of my life.

Incidentally I also stopped myself blushing with hypnosis. Now if ever I have a difficult call or conversation coming up, something I may naturally feel reluctant to do (you know the kind of thing) I spontaneously self hypnotise and rehearse the upcoming situation feeling good, with myself remaining calm. In this way I habitually set my own emotional 'blue prints' for up coming situations. Having said that it's naturally that some people have concerns or half digested 'hand me down' ideas regarding hypnosis. A common one is the one about 'mind control.' However what does this really mean?

Why you are more in control of yourself in hypnosis

If someone expresses concerns about being 'controlled' in hypnosis what they mean is they don't want to be like a robot, an automaton that is forced to obey the every whim of the hypnotist. We can't help but influence others but we don't control them. To understand why you need to understand hypnosis better.

So what is hypnosis like?

Hypnosis isn't like a coma. It's not unconsciousness - more a subtle shifting of consciousness. In hypnosis, you can still think logically but you also have access to the 'software' of your mind so that you can update instinctive emotional and physical responses. In fact the hypnotised subject (not the hypnotist) calls the shots. When I hypnotise someone I need to go at their speed and respond to their needs and expectations. Hypnosis will give you more control in your own life because of what it enables you to do.

How can I be so sure?

Because over the decades I've seen all kinds of people, all ages and from all backgrounds turn their lives around thanks to hypnosis. When you use hypnosis for yourself it improves confidence in all kinds of ways. When you use it to change other's lives it just blows you away. This is what I mean.

When I first hypnotised someone to feel no sensation in a painful arthritic arm it was an incredible feeling. When I first cured life long phobias quickly and comfortably I was astounded. When I stopped hardened alcoholics from drinking and even got a heroin addict off the stuff and back into mainstream life again I started to feel angry that people could just associate hypnosis with entertainment.

With the aid of hypnosis I (and many people I have trained and worked with) have helped severely depressed people feel strong and positive again. The rewards and satisfactions are hard to describe. I'm going to take a stand against ignorance and short sightedness around hypnosis and here's why.

Why you need to reclaim hypnosis for yourself

Hypnosis is your birthright. It's nature's optimum learning tool. In fact to learn and perform anything well you need to experience a natural focussing of attention, a natural kind of hypnosis. To be successful hypnosis needs to be your companion and friend.

Successful people use it naturally all the time because hypnosis is natural. It's the way we learn new responses. Unlike medications its side effects are purely positive - one expectant mother I worked with to feel relaxed during child birth later reported that she was also more relaxed when flying!

Hypnosis is easy to learn and every body can benefit. Hypnosis is a safe environment to 'try out' new behaviours and emotional patterns before you experience them for real. So the young man can ask a woman out for a date many times in calm relaxed hypnosis so that by the time he does it for real it feels real and natural and relaxed. Sports people who use hypnosis learn new quicker and more accurately. So hypnosis gives you more control of yourself and your life, it's natural and gives you instant benefits and it's a way of 'trying on' and establishing new patterns of emotional response and behaviour, Hypnosis enables you to develop yourself as a human being.

5 Hypnosis Myths Exploded

OVER the years, hypnosis has picked up all sorts of weird associations from stage hypnotists, the media and superstition. This is a great shame, because in reality, hypnosis is your single most effective tool for change. Hypnosis is your birthright, and you should know how to use it so it doesn't use you. Here we dispel the biggest hypnosis myths.

Hypnosis Myth 1) All hypnosis is the same

As with anything, hypnosis can be good, bad or indifferent. The most common is old-style authoritarian hypnosis of the type "You are getting sleepy, you are feeling confident". Unsurprisingly, this sort of hypnosis doesn't work well with many people. Good hypnosis uses subtle psychological principles and advanced communication patterns

It's like the difference between a football coach who thinks you'll perform best if he yells at you, compared with the more elegant style of a great leader who knows that to get the best from his people, he needs to understand motivation, to cajole, encourage and reward.

Hypnosis Downloads.com offers hundreds of sessions using the best type of hypnosis.

Hypnosis Myth 2) Subliminals work

Subliminals are words that you can't hear. Common sense says they shouldn't work, and there's no research proving that they do.

Hypnosis Myth 3) Some people can't be hypnotized

The only reason you can't be hypnotized is if you are incapable of paying attention due to extremely low IQ or brain damage. That's not to say that every hypnotist can hypnotize you however. The more flexible the hypnotist, the more effective she will be with the largest number of people.

Hypnosis Myth 4) Hypnosis is something weird that other people do to you

If you couldn't go into hypnosis, you wouldn't be able to sleep, to learn, or get nervous through 'negative self hypnosis'. (You know when you imagine things going wrong and it makes you feel anxious? Well that's self hypnosis!)

Hypnosis is simply a deliberate utilization of the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) or dream state. We're not giving people medication here – if it wasn't a natural ability, hypnosis wouldn't work!

Hypnosis Myth 5) You lose control in hypnosis

Crazy news stories, stage hypnotists and gossip have created the illusion that you lose control in hypnosis. In fact, when hypnotized, you are relaxed and focused – and able to choose to get up and walk away at any time. You choose to give your attention to the hypnotist, and you can withdraw it at any time.
