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.
