People often fear that being hypnotized will make them lose control, surrender their will, and result in their being dominated, but a hypnotic state is not the same thing as gullibility or weakness. The main thing to remember is that hypnosis is a collaborative process. In order for it to work, it relies on you joining in with it, rather than allowing it to be done to you. While hypnotized you are not only fully aware, but also in full control. It is impossible to be made to do anything that you don’t want to do while in a hypnotic state, and you can come out of hypnosis at any time you like. Hypnosis is a fundamental and perfectly natural human experience, and a powerfully effective way for us to gain more control over our lives.
