What Does Hypnosis Feel Like?
Being licensed to practice hypnosis, I often get questions over what it feels like to be under hypnosis. People ask with understandable fears since hypnosis not typically a subject we learn in our education or everyday lives. What most people relate to when they think of hypnosis is a man swinging a pocket watch saying "you are getting very sleepy" or an unlucky volunteer on stage unknowingly acting like a duck without any control. It is generally believed that the person on stage was really a volunteer, but they were truly just an actor acting. Hypnosis is actually more common than you might think and can be used in so many areas of one's life including p ain control, h ot flashes, b ehavior change, insomnia, bed-wetting, smoking, overeating, anxiety, phobias, and post-traumatic stress. The applications are virtually limitless.
