Sure…it works, but now what?

As I tell some of my clients, of course hypnosis the idea of going into hypnosis is the easy bit for me (and no doubt stage hypnotists)

The much more interesting and exciting bit for me in clinical hypnosis is is what to do with that positive and resourceful trance state once they’re there, that unique state where all the work and magic happens.

Former Skeptics Are Revealing Their Brutally Honest Hypnosis Experiences

I went to a hypnotist show back in high school, and was one who got picked to go up on stage. I’d say I sort of got hypnotized. The initial parts where we were getting sleepy and such happened quite naturally to me. I generally followed along with what I was told to do, but part-way through, I realized I wasn’t really hypnotized, but continued to just play along with it. I was friends with a few of the other hypnotized people, and I tried quietly asking them questions that might gauge how actually hypnotized they were. My conclusion was that yes, it worked."
