Hypnosis is a comfortable state of relaxation where your mind is more open to accept suggestions to make the changes YOU WANT TO MAKE in your life.
The reason for many of the misconceptions regarding hypnosis can be found in the movies and with stage hypnotistm. When you see a stage hypnotist, it looks like the hypnotist can MAKE people do "crazy" things.
This works because the people who volunteer are already willing to do crazy things in front of an audience. The volunteers are in a hypnotic trance, but all that means is they are very open to accepting and believing any suggestion the hypnotist makes that they are willing to accept. If the hypnotist were to suggest something contrary to their morals or ethics, they would either ignore him/her, or they would emerge from hypnosis on their own and walk off the stage.
In hypnosis, you are in complete control. You are not asleep, you are not unconscious, you hear every word, you may even laugh or cry, and you won't do anything you don't want to.
However, what you can do is make positive changes that you cannot easily make without hypnosis.
