Can a person in hypnosis be controlled?
• Absolutely not! The only time it looks like that is in stage hypnosis, where the hypnotist asks for volunteers out of the crowd. These are people who want to act like they do on stage. Clinical hypnosis is quite different. A hypnotherapist is there to help you with your issues and needs your cooperation with the process. If the hypnotherapist were to give you suggestions that you didn’t agree with or were morally against your beliefs, you would either refuse them or you would stand right up and walk out of that session.
