This relation must be fully of trust and understood from both sides. When hypnosis started be popular people treat it like a magic trick not like a treatment. The purpose of hypnosis is still helping the people in need. There were many people which used hypnosis in circus. They hypnotized people and have told them to do things which were scoff for them. Audience was satisfied but hypnotized person embarrassed after trans. Until this day people are organizing hypnotic nights just for fun. In my opinion is really unprofessional. If someone can do hypnosis for fun, for popularity can do lots of harm to the people. Another very dangerous aspect of “hypnosis” which is present in models, fashion and beauty world. Girls from the earliest age are learned about size 0, nice skinny body and perfect face. Every single girl in the world want to be perfect, wants to be slim.

    The therapist needs to engage the client with their subconscious mind in the most effective way possible, in order that the client may gain an awareness of, and be able to access, their own potential. This highlights the essential view of the therapist as a skilled helper, enabling the client, rather than an all-knowing and all-powerful practitioner. As *Sandor Ferenczi so eloquently stated in 1916: …' the unconscious mental forces of the patient appear as the real active agent, whereas the hypnotist, previously pictured as all-powerful, has to content himself with the part of an object used by the unconscious of the apparently unresisting patient according to the latter's individual and temporary disposition'. Ferenczi not only developed an awareness of the complications associated with client conformity in his work (another important consideration), but also clarified the then termed 'Maternal' (permissive, warm, supportive) and 'Paternal' (authoritarian, direct, aggressive) styles of hypnotherapy (now termed 'Permissive' and 'Authoritarian') by recognising their associations with traditional parental approaches.…

Talk therapy was almost the exact same therapy as if you went to a therapist to talk about your mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety.…

    This process for Synesthesia includes eliminating either the unconscious mind or conscience mind by several sessions of deep hypnosis, including, but not limited to, methods such as the magnetic hand method and the Betty Erickson method. Most Synesthetes who undergo hypnosis often choose to remove the unconscious mind, simply because this could possibly eliminate dreamlike perceptions; however, there are both benefits and detriments associated with Synesthetic hypnosis. If the Synesthete chooses to remove their conscious mind, he/she would have to eliminate sense either partially or in its entirety. The possible loss of a sense proves why most Synesthetes chose to remove either strictly the unconscious mind or choose to cope with Synesthesia, rather than undergoing hypnosis. The other rumored, but not confirmed, forms of treatment include gene therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy; however, many experts consider ridding of the unconscious mind to cure Synesthesia exceedingly risky, and many Synesthetes opt out of hypnosis and find multiple ways to cope.…
