Has anyone ever been to a hypnotherapist/been hypnotised?

Question

Was it to try and stop you from doing something, like smoking for example, and did it work?

I'm not actually trying to quit smoking it was just an example : )

Answer 1

My parents were hypnotized to quit smoking about seven years ago (I think). My dad had been smoking since he was 14 and my mom since she was 18 or 19 (with the exception of being pregnant) and they are still smoke free. I think it all depends on whether or not you can actually fall asleep.

My husband was hypontized a month ago as part of a show. The hypnotist told them that if you would refuse to do it under normal circumstances, that they wouldnt be able to make you do it while you're hypnotized. For example, she had everyone get up and dance while under and he refused. So, I think all you need is to have a want to be able to do it and once hypnotized it'll work.

Answer 2

I went to a hypnotherapist show once and did not think that I would be able to be hypnotised. Buy was I wrong. He had me doing some crazy stuff to entertain the people. It was weird because I was totally aware of everything, I just couldn't stop myself from doing what he said.
I'm sure if your open to it, it would work for you for other things.

Answer 3
