How does Hypnosis make a person more suggestible?
This occurs first and foremost with the subjects permission and cooperation. By following the “hypnotist’s” instructions, you become more suggestible. When you are in this altered state of increased suggestibility, your mental “clutter” is cleared away so that you can pay attention to the hypnotist’s suggestions and be open to experiencing new perspectives and solutions to your problem. In this “hypnotic trance state”, you remain aware of everything that is going on, but at the same time, you become increasingly absorbed in using your imagination as directed by the “hypnotist”.
