There are different types of hypnotism. You are more than likely thinking about the hypnotism that you see on Saturday morning cartoons where a guy waves a pendulum in front of someone else's face then their eyes start swirling around... No!
Really hypnotism is just to make someone more suggestable. They will obey people who they would not normally listen to. In that case, yes, I have been hypnotized. "Brainwashing" is more what most people refer to it as. Ask any member of the armed services who knows about hypnotism, and they can tell you all about it.

I had this great job back in the 80s. Once, they gave us a "training" which featured stress reduction techniques, etc. The trainer told us he would hypnotize us, to help us relax....
The next thing I remember is waking up from a deep sleep! I was leaning over in my chair, and my chin had drool on it. As I came out of it, I saw my co-workers--a room full of them--waking up from sleep. It was amazing. I felt relaxed, but some of my relaxation was compromised by my complete, shocked amazement that I had completely fallen into a deep, hypnotic state in a conference room at work. I have absolutely no memory of the hypnotic process, or what happened when I was "out".

I did it 3 times for smoking,( found out later that if you really dont want to stop it wont work) I did it for my husband. It was great! I was so relaxed I rememberd most of it when she brought me out I was so refreshed and full of energy I felt great! best I ever felt without drugs or alcohol. I had ZERO urge to smoke for 4 days then all of a sudden I wanted a smoke RIGHT NOW> MY aunt and girlfreind went to the same lady right after I di about 20 yrs ago and never smoked again.!!

It was underwhelming, for me. I'm not very susceptible to it, though. I did it to overcome my fear of flying. And it DID help, a bit, anyway.
Like a deep, deep meditation.

For smoking, and it was horrible. It sent me into a huge depression. And then, didn't even work!
