I became involved with hypnosis in 72 and I can say that it does work...
The misconceptions are what make people non-believers..
A subject doesn't lose the thought process, nor is the mind taken over.
It's a form of progressive relaxation where the subconscious comes more to the forefront; bypassing the filtering factors of the conscious part of the mind.
Any suggestions given are followed because the subject has no objection to following them. If they objected, they would either just not respond, or come out of the state.
The most potent part of hypnosis is the direct access to the subconscious whereby the 5 senses are more or less replaced with suggestions. Or to better state.. the suggestions can override the senses.
Subjects still have their morals and knowledge of right from wrong, so hypnosis, though a powerful tool when used clinically or therapeutically, isn't as dramatic of a scene as some may perceive it to be.
