Have you ever been hypnotized?

Do you believe it?

I believe it, my wife does it to people for weight loss and to stop smoking, plus some other problems. It seems to work, I see the people and results. She wants to do it to me but it isn't going to happen.

I've never been hypnotized, but I ran into a hypnotherapist last weekend & asked several questions about it. I told him I wanted to remember how to get to a spot I hiked to in a place I lived when I was a kid. He said regression hypnosis was easy & he would do it in a single session for $50. I'm thinking of giving it a shot.

Once about 15 years ago to quit smoking.... lasted about 45 days and then I went drinking and forgot I had quit.

I tried it a few years ago. Didn't work for me.

My wife used one 25 years ago as an aid to quitting smoking but she said it wasn't magic, she still needed the desire to quit.

Yes. It is a different thing. I agree about acting like a chicken. I made the same joke.

While I really was hypnotized, the impact I was looking for didn't happen.

Only some people can be put under, went to a comic once that did hyptnosis and he did a few suggestions to see who could be put under. I looked over at my buddy and his girlfriend and she was out. He woke her up quickly, pretty funny.

Nope. Some folks need the attention so badly they'll go along with anything.
