HYPNOSIS

By: Tara Grebenc

What’s Hypnosis? A hypnotherapy or hypnotic suggestion Trance-like state Heightened focus, concentration, and

inner absorption Concentrate on; - Specific thought - Memory - Feeling / Sensation Blocks out distractions

Against the belief of Hypnosis Learn from TV, friends /relatives/

acquaintances. “Educationally underfunded”. Convince yourself, “Free will”.

- Good or Bad Works live, Cooperation principle. Hypnosis = Self-hypnosis. Hypnotist = do bidding for them Remember false memories.

For the belief of Hypnosis Know people successfully did it. Ex: Quit smoking, lost weight, eliminated

anxiety, ridded warts, etc. Willpower doesn’t only help. Represses memory. Socially acceptable. Cures you from things Control’s pain, etc.

Myth’s about Hypnosis Hypnotized against will Won’t remember things when awoken Remember exact details to crimes Hypnotist’s control your actions Make you super-strong or athletic

My belief;In conclusion, no I do not believe in hypnosis. I believe in

self control. If you want to stop something you do or change things, you can do that by your own free will. I also believe that how they say the help heal people, I think it is just a lucky shot, because they say that if you think you’re sick, you make yourself sick. So, if you think your healing or getting better, you’ll get better. I believe people go to hypnotists to seek for answers they already know. They just want a second opinion or someone else to agree with. I believe it doesn’t really work. Even seeing it on live TV doesn’t look real. But, this is my belief of hypnosis. Now think of yours.
