Hypnosis?

[asianeko]

I would never let anyone hypnotize me.

Why not? It's very relaxing. It's not like on TV where they have control over you or anything like that, it's just like having a conversation while daydreaming.

Oh... Ya my image of being hypnotized is having a person re-program my mind. I just don't trust people changing my personality.
If it is not like that than I wouldn't mind.

Yeah, it's nothing like that at all, it's all stereotypes. A hypnotist can't make you do anything against your will, or feel anything you are completely against. You need to be willing and open for it to work and happen.

I think that's why many (Though not all!) emets find hypnotherapy useless, to be honest. You need to be open to every idea the therapist suggests. Mine didn't have me recall events or anything traumatic, he just gave me mental imagery to clear my mind and memories of all fear and panic associated with V. I didn't have anything to object to, so it worked fine. However, if I was frightened of what I may discover, or scared that he may try to make me V (even though he CAN'T) it wouldn't have worked.
