Hypnosis, also referred to as hypnotherapy, is a trance-like state in which you have heightened focus, concentration and inner absorption. When you're under hypnosis, you usually feel calm and relaxed, and you can concentrate intensely on a specific thought, memory, feeling or sensation while blocking out distractions.
Under hypnosis, you function with your subconscious mind, you're more open than usual to suggestions, and this can be used to modify your perceptions, behavior, sensations and emotions. Therapeutic hypnosis is used to improve your health and well-being and is different from so-called stage hypnosis used by entertainers. Although you're more open to suggestion during therapeutic hypnosis, your free will remains intact and you don't lose control over your behavior.
Hypnosis is a safe, normal "state of mind " that you have experience before without realizing, like if you overpass the exit of the highway you suppose to get out, or when you "are in a cloud or day dreaming". Hypnosis is self hypnosis, you will have the experience if you want to be hypnotized. You will remember everything, you are not sleep. You can get out of the trance whenever you want to. You will not reveal "secrets" if you don't want to. Can you be hypnotized? If you want to be, you will be.
