I believe that for hypnosis to work the person undertaking it has to want to get the end result. So if you really want to give up smoking it will work. I know of a couple of people that went for hypnosis to stop smoking, but they did not really want to give up - and as a result the process failed.

Hypnotism is far more subtle than the cartoon mesmerising.\n\nIt is about relaxation and psychology not zapping someone ... move on this is not how you are going to attract someone.

of course it works if you believe in the axe effect. read more about placebo effect in wikipedia.

The fact is you can alter a persons state without them knowing it.  This is essentially hypnosis.  I'm not saying you are going to make them jump up and down like an animal, but you can modify their perception and if you are good enough and set the right "anchors" you can heavily influence their behavior.  This form of manipulation is very reprehensible to most people.  It would take me a long time to explain the process here but you essentially use select wording, expressions, and gestures to accomplish this.

Yes I did. It was a group session for weight loss. So far I have lost over a stone in weight and think that as long as you have an open mind, hypnotherapy definitely 100% can work

There is general agreement that hypnosis works to some extent - either because it puts you in a qualitatively different state of mind in which you are able to access different parts of your consciousness; or because it makes you very relaxed and more prone to suggestion or able to think more clearly.\nHynosis is not illegal, and is often used in therapy type situations, and occasionally by the police - however, evidence obtained under hypnosis is not admissible in a court of law.

u will not do anything under hypnosis that u would not do normally,all hypnoses does is to put u in touch with your subconscious mind.

See a therapist or a hypnotist.

If you use hypnosis to recall forgotten events you can actually create memories of things that did not happen.  It can be very dangerous unless done by truly knowledgable and responsible professionals.

It works on some people and it does not work the others. It depends on people's "biofield". Even hynotists can sense a person that has a weak field and  then they will ask that person to  volunteer. Some hypothitosts ask a group of ppl to put their hand together behind their back and whoever's hands do not untie to voluneeer.

I've done it with my therapist before. And yes, it does work. Slowly but surely. It takes time. But it trains your unconscience mind to think in ways you never thought possible. It is worth a try. seriously. What have you got to lose. I am doing much better in my therapy because of it. I've been doing it for about a year now. You'll see results too i'm sure, but you just need to be patient. if you want to talk to me about it i'm here to listen. you can email me or IM me if you want. I can tell you about my experience with it.

It doesn't work with everyone.  It tends to work with people who believe it will work and it usually fails if the person does not.  Also, the trust that the person places in the hypnotist is important because who knows what someone will cause someone else to do when they are in a hypnotic state?

My son had great success with hypnotism.  I smoke a pipe and gave up for about 7 years after a UK government poster campaign explaining the disgusting results of smoking, e.g., green phlegm.  I shudder now even thinking about it.\nHowever, I still smoke my pipe and every time I buy tobacco I curse myself when I hand over £40 and get five packets with 'Tobacco KILLS' and such printed all over them.
