Yes, but only if that's your goal. hypnosis IS NOT mind control. it works by giving you a series of suggestions that you WANT to take into your subconscious mind where your beliefs, understandings and associations of the world are located. if your goal is to remember a different feeling or taste you have associated with something like sweet = ice cream or love = cookies, then a PROPERLY TRAINED hypnotherapist can assist you with this. hypnosis works by altering your associations or belief system associated with something and because you're in a hyper-suggestible state of mind during hypnosis, you believe it. after hypnosis, you WON'T feel like you're doing something or tasting something or feeling something different against your will. remember, it's not mind control. you will feel like it's your idea and like you've made up your mind to do it, so you do it. it's because of this that some of my clients don't think they were hypnotized to quit smoking or lose weight because they didn't feel like they were doing something against their will. did they quit smoking or eat less anyway? yes, of course. because they took in only the suggestions they wanted to take in. if you're interested in hypnotherapy for any topic, it's absolutely imperative that you look into their educational and experience background. there are a lot of fakes and frauds out there.

I know not everyone can be hypnotized but I have been for weight loss. It cannot make you do anything against your will. I have had a dream that I was tasting something and it was so vivid that I thought maybe a suggestion that the tastes I remembered could be recreated in my waking state.

Hypnosis cannot MAKE you do anything.
