What is the difference between clinical hypnosis and stage hypnosis?
Clearly, clinical hypnosis and hypnotherapy are used to create desired changes in the person’s condition. On the other hand, stage hypnosis is used for entertainment purposes. On stage, the performer will select a group of willing participants, who, when given tacit permission to let go of their inhibitions, will do foolish and crazy stunts. They have a perfect excuse for whatever they do, because they claim they have been hypnotized. Whether the entire group on stage was hypnotized or not dowsn’t really matter. If they choose to, people do incredibly absurd things without being hypnotized.
