Hypnosis

Hypnosis, when used in a situation wherein the "proper groundwork" of mutual trust / respect has been established, can be very powerful / helpful during an exam. I've used it successfully a number of times with my female patients.

My first wife was a certified clinical hypnotist and taught me the art. We used it many times to enhance our sexual activities. I must reiterate what 'gynhypdom' stated that it should only be used in an environment of mutual trust and respect. To do otherwise could cause irreparable harm.

If you're knowledgeable in the art of hypnosis, use and enjoy. If not, please refrain from blundering about.

I have never had any experience of hypnosis, but the idea sounds very intriguing. Are you planning to write a story or role play the situation?

I would have to experience it to believe it.

Would also love to experience the effects, does this have same effects as Sensory Deprivation?

I am personally intrigued by the "idea" of hypnosis and have thought about it's possible benefits with my absolute fear of medical professionals, but i just can't accept that it could be done to me (especially by a medical professional...lol)... which i have been told will hinder the positive results. (Catch 22, no?)

I went for 2 sessions, and i really wanted it to work but i just couldnt be put under,it was a major disapointment

First and most important thing is mutual trust.

Second is relaxation.

If both are done well, the sky is the limit.

I've been hypnotized twice at a hypnotist show. I wonder, with hypnosis and the right person, what could happen! 😉

I've been hypnotised in real life - 20 plus years ago. It helped with the issue I wanted it to, through about 8 sessions, plus a tape to play at home which the therapist gave me. Would certainly recommend it if you have cravings/issues that you would like to deal with, but make sure you do it for the right reasons, if your mind is not focussed and you think its a quick fix - it isn't. Mind over matter and trust in the hypnotist you use, check out the Associations/Boards they are members of and their qualifications first, there can be some dodgy ones around if you are not careful.

Interesting topic.. I am a hypnotherapist and have never really thought about using hypnosis as part of a play exam. Let me set the record straight by clearing up a few myths. Hypnosis is something the subject and the hypnotherapist do together.. when someone says the therapist was not able to "put them under"..that means the subject was not willing to follow the hypnotherapist directions (most of the time out of fear of hypnosis or that they are going to loose control). Hypnosis is a natural occurring phenomenon ..when someone daydreams that is a very mild form of hypnosis. Everyone can go into hypnosis if they allow themselves. When a subject has trust in the therapist and is willing to follow the therapist instruction they can be lead into very deep levels of hypnosis where the subject can actually hallucinate... that's what happens in a stage show. The subject has allowed the hypnotist to guide them into a very deep level of hypnosis. Keep in mind the subject (even in deep levels of hypnosis) still has the choice/power to end hypnosis at any time. The hypnotist has no power to hold them in this state of hypnosis. The mark of a good hypnotherapist is the ability of the therapist to work within the frame work of the subjects comfort/belief system.. helping the subject to stay in those deep levels of hypnosis. If you've ever seen a hypnosis stage show some subjects will de dismissed and sent back to there seat at some point during the show.. that's because the hypnotist has asked them to do something they don't feel comfortable doing ..so the subject begins to move themselves out of that deep level (hallucinogenic level) and into a safer - less responsive level. No one can be made to do something in hypnosis they DON'T want to do... otherwise I'd be asking my subject to go robe a bank and bring the money back to me..lol..guess that might work on some people 😃 I'm getting too wordy...

My best guess... If you wanted to incorporate hypnosis into a play session the subject would most likely have a VERY enjoyable time.. I'm going to give it a try .. I'll keep you posted ...

I would Love to be Hypnotized

I've always been intrigued by hypnosis, but have never tried it in any way at all. Though I can apparently go off on daydreams almost at a moment's notice when I don't make a conscious effort.

Anyway, when I was in my early 20's, I once attended a hypnosis demonstration, a sort of private, small group (30-40 people) thing. It was quite a dud actually. Nothing the hypnotist did or tried worked and all his subjects failed to go into any kind of trance at all. He blamed it on someone 'working against him' in the audience, even giving me some very dirty looks at the end of the show when he apologized for the lack of success. Luckily someone else admitted, with no little bit of glee and satisfaction I must add, that he was the one 'mentally working against' the hypnosis and hypnotist. And this I found even harder to believe than hypnosis itself.

I tried hypnosis years ago to quit smoking. Nothing happened. I sat there with my thoughts going 100 mph, not about smoking, about how silly I felt paying $ for this nonsense.

I love the idea of being hypnotized, I've fantasised about it for years, in my fantasy I'm made to sit a bigeather chair and the hypnotherapist carry out the induction, I'm then completely under their control, obviously after reading your post, this isn't realistic, but I so love the idea, I've watched tooany old 70's films lol.
