fiveworlds Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Na mostly people are told to go to hypnotherapy when they are being disciplined... It is the equivalent of going to the doctor to get a day off work because you are "stressed" Edited January 24, 2015 by fiveworlds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 this is my question. You are welcome to add links to studies, preferable ones with more than just a few participants. I don't really understand the question. Hypnosis is obviously a real thing. Do you mean, has it been studied scientifically? Google Scholar lists about 200,000 results so I assume the answer is yes. http://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?q=hypnosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StringJunky Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 ...What, in the end, does it mean to be under hypnosis? Its influence resides more in a power transaction between hypnotist and subject than it does in some hypothetical paranormal state of consciousness. It's not that the claims made about hypnosis are wildly exaggerated. Many of the effects attributed to hypnosis really do occur. But packaging them under the label "hypnosis" conceals what is really going on. It doesn't even begin to suggest that they are our very own powers and there might be ways for us to get at them directly and entirely on our own. https://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200910/the-trouble-hypnosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiveworlds Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Thank you for clarifying the fact that you have no idea what you are talking about. If you believe that then that is okay. Some people believe that they can be healed by prayer and that's okay too. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 If you believe that then that is okay. Some people believe that they can be healed by prayer and that's okay too. No it isn't. because people can not be cured by prayer. That's the difference. Just because you don't believe in something- for example, stress- doesn't mean it isn't real. Are you actually qualified to address this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiveworlds Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Just because you don't believe in something- for example, stress- doesn't mean it isn't real. True. But what I am saying is that many people go to hypnotherapy to validate something that they have already decided they are going to do. Such as take a day off work or quit smoking. Largely the success of it is completely determined by what the person had decided before they ever went there. I did know one hypnotherapist though she was actually the inspector for dealing with welfare fraud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
