In hypnosis, you are fully aware of what is going on. First off, a hypnotist will not ask you to do anything of that sort (unless you are involed in a stage show & you are aware that you will be asked to do that sort of thing), You are fully in control and will do only what you want to do.
Myths about Hypnosis
Hypnosis is not mind control or brainwashing. People change their minds and actions throughout their lives. When changes occur as a result of exposure to specific information, it is because this information has been presented in a persuasive and influential way. A hypnotherapist uses communicative methods of persuasion and influence for therapeutic purposes.
