Hypnosis Facts & Fiction

Q: Is hypnosis mind-control?
A: No, hypnosis isn't mind control. It's a voluntary decision to let yourself experience the power of your own mind. The hypnotic state is one of relaxed concentration, similar to the experience of becoming so captivated by a good movie, that while the movie is playing, you agree to "forget" that it isn't really happening.

Q: Can everyone be hypnotized?
A: Yes. Hypnosis is a natural state. If you were unable to be hypnotized, you would also be unable to focus your attention long enough to perform your job, read a book, or carry on a coherent conversation for more than a few minutes at a time. You naturally enter hypnosis every day of your life.

Q: Can a person become trapped in the hypnotic state and be unable to wake up?
A: No. Relaxed concentration isn't a state that can be held without a defined focus. The length of a good movie will define how long a trance-state can be maintained under those circumstances. The Hypnotist provides this defined focus on stage. When the focus is withdrawn, the individual "awakes".

Q: Why would anyone want to be hypnotized?
A: Hypnosis is more pleasurable than the best movie you've ever seen. In hypnosis, every scenario is set up by your own mind, designed to meet your personal decision about what you would like to happen next, and better yet, you're always the star!

Q: Are there any side effects from being hypnotized?
A: Yes. One hour in hypnosis is the equivalent of eight hours of the most restful sleep you can imagine. You wake up knowing that at that moment, you could take on the worldÉ and win! Stage hypnosis is a temporary reprieve from the stresses of daily living.

Q: How do you know so much about hypnosis?
A: 17 years experience on stage and working with individuals in a clinical setting.
