Hypnosis allows you to gain greater control of your own mind. This allows you to change unwanted and negative behaviours. Through Hypnosis you will gain greater willpower to make the positive changes that you desire. Contrary to the misbelief that hypnosis can control you and make you do things you do not want to, the opposite is indeed true. Dr David Spiegel, professor and associate chair of psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine states that “It’s actually a way of enhancing people’s control, by teaching them how to control aspects of their body’s function and sensation that they thought they couldn’t.”
