Is there anybody who should not be hypnotised?
To a large extent, it depends on the sort of therapy being employed. Some argue that anybody suffering from epilepsy should never be hypnotised, however no literature has cited an epileptic fit being triggered by hypnosis. That said i f you suffer from epilepsy, then I do not advise hypnosis other than under the supervision of your medical doctor or a psychiatrist. Where psychotic individuals are concerned, I am not skilled or experienced to work with them. Regression/analytical therapy is also best avoided with pregnant women and heart attack/stroke victims.
To a large extent, it really depends on the sort of therapy being used. Some say that anybody suffering from epilepsy should never be hypnotised but there is no hard evidence to prove that hypnosis has ever triggered an epileptic fit. Care definitely needs to be taken with psychotic individuals, and Regression/Analytical Therapy should definitely not be used. This type of therapy is also best avoided with pregnant women and heart attack/stroke victims.
