I mean the serious one, not the one used in shows to make people bark, or stuff like that. I am talking about removing traumas, insecurities, addictions, etc, do you think it works? Has anyone tried?
I heard a doctor say that hypnosis only works on those people that are not strong willed.
My other half and Iwent to a show not long ago and at the end of it he said he can do all that carry on to help people with addictions, weight loss, stop smoking, bla bla bla.
My other half wanted to do it to stop the gambling on horses so he asked the man.
The man told him something, and to this day i still don't know what he said, but my other half hasn't placed a bet on a horse since then. Something must of worked.
I think you have to have a certain amount of belief in it for it to work. If you're totally sceptical and adamant you wont fall for it, you're less likely to
Hypnosis doesn't work. But I may have been hypnotized to say that.
A friend of mine used hypnosis in child birth. She said it helped her get through the pain without any anesthesia. I'm a bit too cynical; I don't think it would work for me.
i too think that you have to really want it to work and something you want to do (even subconciously)
if you do, than i can see how someone with comminucation and soothing skills could get you feeling comfortable enough to do what you really wanted to anyways
is it hypnosis or persuasion? ... im inclined to believe its skilled persuasion
jedi mind tricks do not work on me :P
