Hypnosis...Would You Ever Be Willing To Go Through It?

You may call it a trick if you wish to. However, the ones who are doing this are professional medical doctors who have had a special training on this hypnosis thing. Most will advise, the one who is going through the process, to have someone trusted along with them during the treatments. It is important to have full knowledge on what the doctor has been doing to the patient during the entire procedure because, the patient goes into a state similar to a deep slumber.

Is hypnotism-a trick? I dont think so

@trinidad: I would definitely agree with this. That way if the hypnotist started to do anything unprofessional or unrelated to the treatment, the hynotized person would have help. @Edna: Some people may use it as a trick to entertain, and I'd stay away from those for sure. But it is no trick. It is very real. It puts the mind of one person very much under the influence of another person. In my study on the subject I learned that a person cannot be hypnotized against his will, not made to do anything that is totally against his values -- like killing someone-- while he is hynotized. But the trick here is that some people may be fooling themselves as to their true values. Let's say a person is really quite greedy, but knows stealing is wrong, so he doesn't steal because he doesn't want to risk getting caught. Then under hypnosis, the hypnotist plants the suggestion that at a certain time and place he will steal a certain object that he really would like to have and tells him how to do it. It is very likely that person would do it, because he doesn't really have any moral scruples about stealing -- he just is afraid of getting caught. If a trusted friend were present, he could stop the session right there and demand the hypnotist change the suggestion and bring the person back to consciousness. But no hypnotist would probably dare to pull anything funny if there were a witness there.

Yes, the process is actually a good process to unveil your inner self. That self which you fail to understand because, the experience took place while you were still a baby. Unearthing the subconscious is very easily done through hypnosis.

I agree with you, celtic. Hypnosis can only be effective if the guy who performed the hypnotism was successful enough to get to the subconscious of the one he is hypnotizing. And not all can do this effectively. I am sad for you though that it didn't work. However, it simply means that you are a person whose subconscious is not that easy to explore and take hold of through hypnotism.

Thanks for the reply, and you're very right. Some hypnotists can squeeze through people's barriers, and others can't. I think I put up too much of a resistance to things like that. Have a good day! :-)

Yes, indeed, he is creepy. I hope that I will never have the chance at all to meet someone like that.

I believe that it can do a lot of good when done on a person who really deserves to go through it. There a point in the documentation where they showed a very much troubled person who truly got cured after some sessions of treatment. It is only through hypnosis that what he went through from his young age until the present can be made known. If I am the relative of that person, I would also allow him to go through hypnosis to make sure that he does not go mentally deranged later in his life.

Self hypnosis, that might be a little too risky to do. Perhaps auto suggestion or self conditioning will be a much better one. I am not well informed about these ones though. I have been told to telling yourself over and over about the need to change something in yourself or to make oneself work harder to achieve a goal, is a type of hypnosis. Actually, I usually do this to myself and I make it a habit to do this in my prayers, too. Asking God so that I will be brave and strong enough to work for those things which I must have and those that I must change within myself.

I am not talking of hypnotism for fun. Here, the doctor delves into the person's mind in order to know what has gone wrong. What has caused the problem. Then, at the proper time, the doctor will give a suggestion to the patient that will make the patient know and accept through his subconscious mind the best thing to do so the person will be finally rid of his problem.
