Hypnosis?????????????Ever happened to you???

I’ve been hypnotized many times and I’m also a certified hypnotherapist although I only do it on family and friends. I think it is a really powerful tool

Once, decades ago. I wanted to quit smoking and the hypnotherapist told me to imagine the most soothing, unstressful location I could remember. I chose a scene from Utah of a grove of aspen trees surrounded by a field of tall green grass.

At the end of the session, the woman told me when I wanted a cigarette, I should rub index finger and thumb together, and I would BE in that calm place and not need nicotine.

It all worked and still does, except for the quitting smoking part. I quit much later. But to this day, if I rub forefinger and thumb together, I see that aspen grove.

Maybe I should have chosen another state.

I have been hypnotized, many years ago. I don't remember what it was for, but I remember I enjoyed it. It was a very comforting feeling.

What does it feel like? Do you know what you are doing? Does it all make sense at the time. I've always been fascinated to know.

I have tried a handful of times and it doesn't work on me for some reason

I have been, once a long time ago

Doesn't work on me

i did the hypnotizing back in the day.

Why?? You go into hypnosis ,usually several times a day

what was so embarrassing about it?
