Anyone Ever Been Hypnotized?
Permalink  

I'm thinking of trying it to see if it could help me quit smoking.  It would be a do-it-yourself type thing.  My daughter found a book at the library by a trained therapist that includes a cd you listen to; it supposedly puts you into the hypnotic state and she places "suggestions" into your subconscious to help you quit.  I've read the book, but haven't tried the cd yet. 

I wonder if it would work?  confused

Can't help you there.

But good luck with quitting smoking however you are able to do it.

Be careful with that stuff Ghost.

Do you know anything about the author? How do we know he's not trying to build an evil army through hypnosis.

One day he'll say the buzzword on National television and all the people who read his book will fall under his control.

I'd stay away from it just to be safe.

AC and I went to a hypnotist show in a comedy club one time, I was chosen to be hypnotized with 7 other people. Although I was in a translike state for a few minutes I think I snapped out of it because there were too many noises around me. But for that few minutes it was a weird feeling! So I think that it is possible it could help. The guy to my left was really cold to the touch and had a blank stare so I think he might have been pretty heavily under.

I dont remember if I have ever been hypnotized, but every time the phone rings, I cluck like a chicken...

I would get it checked out but we need the eggs.

I have not been hypnotized, but I have a lead on quitting too- my boss' wife went to a stop smoking clinic. Check this out, it worked for her I swear!


It was through Lifeline, here is the local site. I might google it for your area. It was all legit and even covered some by our insurance.

Thanks guys; I think I'm gonna give it a try and see what happens.  I don't think it can hurt; hopefully, it would help.

I'll have my family watch out for any side effects, such as clucking like a chicken or army marching.  wink

I did the comedy club thing like Sparky. There were about 5 of us on stage. I tried really hard to go under. I knew as soon as he counted down though that I wasn't. I just went along with it like the others on the stage rather than screw up the act and tell him that it didn't take with me.

They make you do some weird things in those acts. I am one of those people who would hate to be under and have to do things as part of the act. No thank you, people laugh at me w/o me being hynotized.

I tried three times.

I am one of those that cannot be hypnotized. My shrink says it is control issues?

I thought: YA THINK?

I hope that it works for you. go for it.
