I have been and I am not sure how it all goes down. They take you to a relaxed state and it's the power of suggestion. You focus, not unlike Lamaze or meditation, and then you kind of follow their lead.
I have heard that it all depends on your personality type--what method they use. Empathetic people are suppose to have an easy time being hypnotized and analytical people take longer and a different method is used.
