Why do people fear hypnosis?
Because of the negative images portrayed by television, films, and some hypnotists who wanted to impress by presenting hypnosis with false claims. People tend to think they will be controlled by the hypnotist. Not true! The hypnotist does not have powers, merely knowledge. He can guide you into hypnosis but there is nothing you will do against your will. If you look at hypnosis programs, no one is being dragged to the stage – they are all volunteers. Truth is – if a person did not want to be hypnotized, there would be no show at all.
