Can hypnotism make me tell secrets, or reveal confidential information?
No. Remember, you are the person who is in control. You won’t say anything you do not wish to say while you are hypnotized. In fact, if you want to, you can even lie when you are in a hypnotic trance. If you are engaged in hypnotherapy, though, be aware that deliberately lying may interfere with the hypnotherapist’s work of helping you reach your goals. Be aware, too, that a certified hypnotist or hypnotherapist is bound by a code of ethics set up by the certifying organization, and that anything said during therapy will be kept in confidence.
