Does hypnosis work and how long does it last?

Favorite Answer

Hypnosis is actually narrowing your focus. Being too sensitive to noises in general (people talking when you work for example) or only to one specific noise means that you are not relaxed. In the process of hypnosis you turn your attention to inside or to one object and lose your interest in anything else. When you see people looking like zombies when hypnotized there have not gone unconscious - they simply lost interest in anything but what there are focusing on. After lots of training you can even get immune to pain and go to surgery without anesthetics (this really happens). Later on you learn to connect the ability to ignore noise that you have in hypnotic sessions with a feeling that can be triggered anytime.
