I would love to try it but not sure that it would really work.

Has anyone ever used hypnosis to treat a problem? ie, weight loss, smoking cessation, pain management?

Yes, Sara. I learned to self hypnotize in 1980. I was put into the trance state by a dear friend from the same class, about 6 mo. later. She was a guide or operator. You discuss what you want from the experience beforehand. Always, I am aware and always I decide to comply with suggestions. I "awake" or come up when through with the agenda. I use this and meditation and prayer to clarify my goals and to change attitudes or heal past wounding. Read a bit of a few books on self hypnosis. Take one out of the library or buy one. Techniques have not changed. You can personalize your experience. Some people can not be hypnotized. I can, only, guess why. I am happy that I am able to make use of this tool. It is worthwhile.

i have and it really works...i did it so i could do self hypnosis then for stress relief and relaxation...still works if i do it after not doing it for a while!!
In conventional hypnosis, you approach the suggestions of the hypnotist, or your own ideas, as if they were reality. If the hypnotist suggests that your tongue has swollen up to twice its size, you'll feel a sensation in your mouth and you may have trouble talking. If the hypnotist suggests that you are drinking a chocolate milkshake, you'll taste the milkshake and feel it cooling your mouth and throat. If the hypnotist suggests that you are afraid, you may feel panicky or start to sweat. But the entire time, you are aware that it's all imaginary. Essentially, you're "playing pretend" on an intense level, as kids do.
In this special mental state, people feel uninhibited and relaxed. Presumably, this is because they tune out the worries and doubts that normally keep their actions in check. You might experience the same feeling while watching a movie: As you get engrossed in the plot, worries about your job, family, etc. fade away, until all you're thinking about is what's up on the screen.
In this state, you are also highly suggestible. That is, when the hypnotist tells you do something, you'll probably embrace the idea completely. This is what makes stage hypnotist shows so entertaining. Normally reserved, sensible adults are suddenly walking around the stage clucking like chickens or singing at the top of their lungs. Fear of embarrassment seems to fly out the window. The subject's sense of safety and morality remain entrenched throughout the experience, however. A hypnotist can't get you to do anything you don't want to do.
But what is it that makes this happen? In the next section, we'll look at the most widely accepted theory of what's going on when you become hypnotized.

Yes, I have ... at a comedy club where the "act" was a hypnotist ... and am embarrassed to say that I did some humiliating things at that club while under hypnosis.

It does not always work. Some people are more susceptible than others.
I was hypnotized one time. I was not aware of the time passing or the suggestions made at all!

I think it only works on certain people. Not everyone CAN be hypnotized , especially if you are not certain that you want it.
