Question by Dior: opinon about hypnotism?……………?
A friend of mine got hypnotized for quitting smoking. She said it actually worked – to my surprise she has infact quit smoking!! I am VERY skeptical about hypnotism. Do you think it works or is it the power of suggestion or someting? Apparently what a hypnotist does is put you in a dream like state kind of like that lucid state you have just before you wake up in the morning – an in that state you are very relaxed but also hyper concentrated – thats why ppl claim to rememver lots of stuff about the past when hypnotized. What do you think?

Best answer:

Answer by Mu1
the idea is to get you into a very relaxed state where your subconscious is in “control” and you are highly suggestible…it seems to work well on some but not others…the key is that you have to want to quit..if you do, hypnotism seems like a good method.
