Hypnotism is used to affect the subconscious mind while a person is in a state of hypersensitivity to suggestion. For example, someone may use it to help with someone to stop smoking, it will be suggested that they hate the taste or smell.
What hypnotists in the making should know is that a subject cannot be hypnotized against their will and that fear or doubt will act as a block preventing it working. Even in a hypnotic trance the subject is in a state of what is termed 'wakeful consciousness' and will remember everything that happened during the session.
Successfully using hypnosis to control another begins with the relationship between the hypnotist and subject, going deeper than just a rapport and establishing a foundation of trust. The hypnotist should clearly explain everything that will happen during the procedure and dispel all doubts and fears.
In order to successfully hypnotize someone, and this is usually practiced to help some fight an addiction, emotional healing, anger or rage management, pain management and so on, the hypnotist has to have total confidence. Also, the subject has to be made to feel completely relaxed and comfortable in the presence of the hypnotist. This will only come with complete trust in the person and their capabilities.
One very effective method of using hypnosis to control a person's behavior is to convince the subject that the hypnotist is not doing the hypnotizing. This method invariably produces a very pleasant and relaxed state in the subject.
Hypnosis is a good technology, not a cure all for everything. Nevertheless, it certainly has helped many people. The only way you know if hypnosis will work for you is to look for a hypnotherapist in your area. Chances are you will be glad you did. Hypnosis has changed many lives for the better and it can change your life too.
