It’s not like what you see in the movies.
Hypnosis is a natural state of selective-focused attention, and even though it is 100% natural and normal, it remains one of the most fascinating phenomena of the human mind.
Some people find it easier to relax than others. By the same token, some people are able to go into trance more quickly and more deeply than others. About 85% of people can go into at least a light trance which is enough for therapeutic hypnosis.
Some people after a session of hypnosis, don’t believe that they were hypnotised at all. This likely comes from misconceptions about what a “trance” really is. There are differences between the brain waves of people who are asleep and those who are in trance. In practice, people who are hypnotised often talk with the hypnotist, and can both answer and ask questions, hear everything that is said very clearly and are perfectly aware. There is no mysterious feeling to being hypnotised and our minds are not taken over nor controlled.
No. At any time a client can re-alert or choose to ignore suggestions. No one stays hypnotised indefinitely – you will always “come out” of trance within a short time.
