Can somebody place harmful or dangerous commands in my subconscious mind while I’m hypnotized?
No. Each component of your mind—conscious, subconscious, and unconscious—contains its own built-in protective mechanisms. Your subconscious will automatically reject any suggestion not beneficial or desired by you. For example, if you really don’t want to stop a behavior such as smoking, you won’t stop no matter what anybody says to your subconscious during hypnosis. On the other hand, if you really do want to stop but simply haven’t been able to do so on your own, hypnotic suggestion is nearly 100% effective. Remember our slogan: WHEN NOTHING ELSE WORKS.
