Dispelling The Myths of Mind Control

Brief Explanation

‘Hypnotherapy’ enhances ‘self-control’ yet this seems a far cry from the notion of ‘mind control’, which ‘Stage Hypnotists’ promote as entertainment.

Some clients still arrive for therapy, with concerns about the ‘myths’ that surround hypnosis.

This ‘false air of magic and mystery’, is how ‘hypnotic trance,’ has been portrayed, in the media.

‘An all-powerful figure dominates a weaker person, by some irresistible mental force.’

‘The exaggerated mystique surrounding hypnosis is, however, unwarranted.’

‘There is absolutely no question, of anyone being manipulated, brain-washed or controlled against their will.’

‘Stage Hypnotists,’ foster this notion of ‘all-powerful control over their subjects’.

Yet, ‘Stage Hypnotists’, never put ‘everyone’ in the audience into a trance!

Far from it!

They work only with a small number, of the ‘most highly suggestible’ audience members.

They sift out the few, ‘most responsive’ volunteers.

Those ‘chosen’ are, therefore, much more ‘willing’ to go along with the illusion.

In essence, therefore, they are still ‘agreeing’ to accept the suggestions they are given.
