What is Hypnotism, Does it Really Work?
Can anyone tell me about hypnotism, and does it really work? Or is it just another con? Modern day society is more polluted with "professional" criminals than ever in history. I have a strong suspicion that this is another scam.
Ahaha, seriously, hypnotism is true. I felt the same way you did, that it was bullshit and they just did it to scam people. But I am in grade 12, and my math teacher is a professional hypnotist, and one day he decided to half hypnotise us. He convinced our brains that if we put our hands together, we wouldnt be able to take them away. Hypnotism is just another word for mental manipulation. But it is true though.

Yes it works just not in the way you are thinking. Hypnotism is used to search through a person’s subconscious. What it does is creates a dreamlike state. You are still awake just it is WAY easier to suggest things to you. Hypnotism can actually be used to stop pain and search why and how you work on a subconscous level. Some people can use it as a scam, but it is also a real thing used in psychology. Hope that helped.

I think the above answers have explained what it is so I won’t waste your time or mine explaining that. However, it can work. I know someone who used it for weight loss and lost a bunch of weight. I also know someone who was hypnotized to improve their bowling score and it worked. So it has it’s merits. Like anything else though, you have to be willing to let it work if you want it to help.
