Questions and Myths

Belief

The truth is:

When a person is in hypnotized, the person apparently loses the power of voluntary action and becomes highly responsive to what is suggested or directed.
When in hypnosis, YOU (the client) are in full awareness at all time.  Hypnosis is equivalent to deep relaxation or deep sleep.  Your mind is fully aware and awake.  Your mind is still yours.
The hypnotist can make you do / say / think ANYTHING he / she wants you to
The hypnotherapist can NOT make you think / say / do anything that YOU do not want to think / say / do. YOU (the client) are in full control of yourself / thoughts / ideas / body functions at all times.  You share only what you want to share.
The hypnotist can make you cluck like a chicken, behave inappropriately, turn into a comedian.
Hypnotherapy and clinical hypnotherapists are not truth serums or wizards or magicians. You can not be forced to do or say anything that you do not agree to. 
Hypnotist will program you to forget, have amnesia, re-program your mind so you are no longer yourself, especially when going deep into trance or deep relaxation - you have no idea what went on.  You will be like drugged.
Change does not happen because you were programmed or forced to change.  No one can change you.  Through realization of past events, memories, beliefs - you gradually initiate the change within yourself.  You realize (on your own) that your old beliefs or memories were distorted and you know how to look back from a dissociated point of view.  
The strong-minded or analytical minded are not easily hypnotized or can not be hypnotized.
It will be challenging but not impossible.  There are different techniques and ways to approach various types of people who wish to bring on their transformations.  Each person, each event, each issue is unique.  What works for you, might not work for another.  Hypnotherapy is customized for each individual.
Hypnosis is brainwashing
Brainwashing requires entrenchment with deprivation. If a client could be manipulated in trance, all hypnotherapy sessions would be 100% effective. Unfortunately, this is not so. Plain downright hypnotherapy, if properly applied, is still only 70-80% effective.  The remaining 20-30% depends on the client's own commitment and dedication to reach his/her goal.
WHAT IS “HYPNOSIS”
Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation of the mind, similar to deep meditation or deep sleep, that yields numerous healing benefits generated from the subconscious level.
