Is hypnosis a medically accepted form of therapy?
Yes. The American Medical Association formally approved hynosis in 1958. Today, it is a widely accepted and successful form of treatment for many conditions.
If I'm anxious, can I be hypnotized?
Yes. Anxious individuals do very well. They may not be able to relax on their own, but with the help of a qualified practitioner, they easily attain a state of relaxation and hypnosis. Often people become so relaxed that they describe the experience as a "mini-vacation." Do I lose control?
Absolutely not. Hypnosis allows you to achieve a state of relaxation. However, you are always in control and cannot be made to do anything against your will.
