Does anyone have any experience being hypnotised?

And even though we're on an erotica forum I don't mean it as a fetish.

I mean like actual hypnosis with a professional. I have been reading about it and I am very curious to try it out but I'm still quite suspicious and cautious. It sounds almost too good to be true.

I was hypnotised about 10 years ago, but other than saying that it's very effective, I can't explain how it works, but it really does.

At the time, I was working twelve hour shifts with only a couple of very short breaks. A lot of my colleagues smoked, and before long, I was addicted to smoking too. After standing outside in the rain a few times too many so I could smoke, I saw an advert in a local paper for a hypnotist and decided to give it a try.

The hypnotist was a middle aged woman working out of her own home. She asked me what I hoped to achieve through hypnotism, then had me sit in an armchair on one side of the room while she sat ten feet away, facing me. There was a large clock on the wall above her. She asked me if I was comfortable, then told me to put my hands in my lap, look straight at the clock and listen to her voice. I don't remember anything else.

After the session was over, I got into my car and drove off feeling a little strange. An hour later, I went outside and smoked half a cigarette before I realised I was doing it. I phoned the hypnotist and told her what I'd done, expecting her to make excuses or ask me to book another session, but she just said that if I was sincere about wanting to stop smoking, it would happen. I continued smoking on my breaks at work for maybe a week then just stopped without even trying.

What kind of "professional" are you talking about?

Like, a hypnotherapist? Or an entertainer? What's your goal/agenda here?

Yeah I went to a Derren Brown show where he attempted to hypnotise the audience. It worked on me but no one else around me

Like how the poster above described. I don't have a specific goal other than satisfying curiosity. I grew up thinking it was kooky stage entertainment but the more I read about it the more real and the scarier it seems. I just have no idea how far it really goes. Can a skilled hypnotist really just get talking to you and put you to sleep and put silly ideas in your head? From what I've seen it's only a small minority who are very vulnerable to this type but still I just can't believe that it's possible.

I think I also have a certain anxiety over control and free will and all that. The overlap between hypnosis and media like advertising and tiktok reels is also interesting to me. I'm still quite ignorant on the topic so I dont really know but some of these videos can be so mesmerising. I don't suppose that people are fully being hypnotised. More of a low grade trance to suck you in.
