Can a hypnotized person be made to do something he or she doesnt want to do?
No, as hypnotism is something a person does himself or herself, it is logically impossible for someone to do something they refuse to do. As a demonstration of this, reflect that hypnotism has existed as a body of technique for more than 200 years. If it were possible to use hypnotism to make people do things they didnt want to do, hypnotists would be running the world. The fact that we are not indicates that hypnotism cannot be used for coercive purposes. What hypnotism can do is enable a person to overcome resistance to doing what needs to be done in order to achieve what that person wants to achieve. It can help you get out of your own way and become successful, and it can help you stimulate your own natural healing power by soothing away the worries that interfere with that power.
