Run away from hypnosis. It does far more harm than good. Plus, who knows what the operator is going to plant in your subconscious? “Vote Rat.” “Sign up for my expensive (and worthless) treatment program.” “Go crazy and kill your family” so we can demand more $ from the govt to “solve” societal violence.
Once someone allows someone to hypnotize them, they can easily be hypnotized again. That is a fact, no my opinion. Very dangerous.
I tried hypnosis for smoking about 7 times.
The last one was this “Hypno wizard” in Leesburg VA, who everyone claimed was undefeated and could fix *anyone*.
On my fourth and final visit, after sitting there listening to her rambling “hypnosis chant” *again* for over an hour, she paused and snapped her fingers, to see if maybe I was “under”, *this time*.
And that point, I observed, “you know, you have a really nice library of books, many of which I also own”
[for all the sessions, I’d been sitting there looking at the titles and mentally comparing them to my own library, noting which ones I had and which ones I thought I’d like to add, later]
She told me to go home and not come back...just like the others did.
