Hypnosis is a state where your brain tends to be in a relax mood and could focus deep beyond your own consciousness. This may also result in quite unrealistic but is indeed factual method where the person being in this state could very well be responsive to suggestions given. This is now where controversy arises when the good end from hypnosis meets the bad one.
Hypnosis is being used clinically as psychotherapy, where the treatment focuses mainly on psychological aspect instead of medicinal. Hypnosis in this method could make a person seek deeper on the thoughts that is hidden, some memories or some painful experiences that when known by the psychiatrist may actually be helpful upon solving that person’s mental disorder.
On the other hand hypnosis, knowing the fact that you yourself blacking out and could potentially do what others wants you to do is a scary stuff. A lot of reports have been made about people being hypnotized and put into trance and then giving their money or any sort of important things.
So how does Hypnosis fair on your point of view?
