Can a person be hypnotized against their will?
No. A person cannot be hypnotized against their will. If a person resists, hypnosis will not work. Hypnosis requires consent and cooperation—known in the trade as the “hypnotic contract”—between the willing participant and hypnotist. no hypnotic controlCovert hypnosis (as seen all over YouTube) is a mind-control myth, a fraud; so, too, is it a Hollywood movie myth a’ la Dracula; frankly, it’s a false urban legend. There is a common idea that those with ‘a strong will’ cannot be hypnotized.
