Do you believe in hypnotism? Have you seen it live, or do you or someone you know have any experiences with it? Do you think it will work on you, and are you willing to allow a hypnotist to hypnotist you?

I do believe in hypnotism. It is proven. I would not want someone to hypnotize me though.

Thanks for the response. I wouldn't let someone hypnotize me either. I wouldn't know what they would make me do, but I heard that hypnotism cannot make a person do something that they already don't want to do.

i have actually used hypnotherapy to try and cure my anxiety disorder, ican say it helped, it didnt cure it but it certainly helped, i would definately recommend it to people, my mother in law also used one for her fear of thunderstorms and now she walks the dogs in them so yes i would say they definatly work. i would go again, but i do recommend getting a reputable one, often your G.P can recommend one for you, i visited a few before i found one i was happy with xxx good luck xxx

Yes I do. I studied BS Psychology and during one of our major subjects my prof had a seminar regarding hypnotism. He made us do an exercise in which he asked us to close our eyes and stretch out our hands, imagining that we are floating. If our hands slowly went up then it means that we are "hypnotizable" but I wasn't one of them. He then asked for a volunteer among the hypnotizable ones and he just hypnotized her. I saw it for real. If someone would want to try it on me, I guess I'll pass, because my prof said that if it fails, something drastic might happen, such as not waking up for a long time or so.

I believe in hypnotism...In fact,in Psychology,some psychologist use hypnotism to trace back the events that have or may have caused an individual's personality...I know this because I am studying Psychology...I haven't known anyone who has been hypnotized before,but based on credible sources,I believe in it...
