  • We see hypnosis in movies and TV all the time - after a few swings of a watch, some poor sap starts clucking like a chicken or crying like a baby - but is there any truth to this? Can you actually hypnotize someone?

    Close your eyes. Breathe in and out, slowly. Picture yourself by the ocean. It’s warm; you can hear waves. You’re completely at ease. Now, when I count backwards from 3… yadda, yadda yadda and ta-dah: That’s the Hollywood version of hypnosis. Luckily, it’s bunk. But what is hypnosis? Is it real?
    The short answer: yes… but maybe not the way you think.
    Hypnosis is a trance state characterized by suggestibility, relaxation and heightened imagination - like daydreaming. Think of “losing yourself” in a book or movie. You’re conscious, but you tune out stimuli, including your own worries and doubts. This happens more often than you might think - in fact, by that definition, you’ve probably accidentally hypnotized yourself before.
    You’re highly suggestible when entranced, so when a hypnotist tells you to do something, you’re more likely to do it - hence the ol’ cluck-like-a-chicken bit. Fear of embarrassment flies out the window, but not a sense of safety and morality. It’s reassuring when you think about it. At least stage magicians are churning out temporary chickens instead of Winter Soldiers.
    Hypnosis is often described as a way to access the subconscious -- the part of your mind that does the “behind-the-scenes” thinking. It’s the unsung hero solving problems, finding your stuff, giving you out-of-the-blue “eureka” moments and whatnot.
    Psychiatrists think hypnosis partially subdues the conscious mind. Think of your conscious mind as an inhibitive force - the thing that hits the brakes. Your subconscious mind, on the other hands, is the seat of imagination and impulse. It that’s the case, then of course you become suggestible when the conscious part of you gets put on the cognitive back burner. The subconscious also regulates sensations & emotions.
    So if you’re entranced, a hypnotist can trigger feelings & senses via suggestion. This part of your brain also helps store memories, meaning hypnotized people can access lost memories - which also implies that it’s possible to create false memories.
    Skeptics have another explanation for this state - social pressure. Their idea is that insecure people can be convinced that they should act a certain way. And when they do, they think “oh, I must be in a trance”. Kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy or placebo effect.
    This is just scratching the surface. We haven't even talked about how to actually hypnotize people, and whether that whole pendulum thing is real. Spoiler alert: yes. It's meant to induce a state of suggestibility by making you focus on one object with such intensity that you lose track of external stimuli.

    This sounds similar to meditation. When I focus on my breathing eventually I enter this state of trance. It feels like I'm floating in the ocean. Then after I'm focused enough I can even hear my heartbeat and I sink even deeper. It's quite nice.

    My dad was a hypnotist and he practiced on me regularly as I grew up. As he described it, hypnosis just relaxes people, helps them focus and the "theatre" or "ritual" was the stimuli people percieved that gave them permission to do something they would not object to or change a behavior they already wanted to change.

    I go into deep trance and come back with a slight groggy head and red eye sometimes when I do Paul Mcenna sessions. I definitely go under and come back with results but also remember most or all of the session and could pull out if I wanted to force myself. The question for me is whether it's a long term fix as I have to repeat the session to get back on track. It lasts usually just that day, but maybe repeat ing it will form a habit. I'll try

    Good job on explaining hypnosis as used by street hypnotists and stage hypnotists (which is for entertainment purposes only). Hypnotherapy on the other hand, involves undergoing hundreds of hours of highly-specialized training and internship in order to successfully treat one's clients.
    Hypnotherapy is for treating any number of issues like fear of flying, stage fright, improving one's confidence or self-esteem, eliminating procrastination, quitting smoking and about 143 other issues.
    No one can get lost in hypnosis (you would simply fall asleep and wake up later as normal) and no one can make you go against your ethics or morals or do something you do NOT want to do. Hypnosis alone is NOT mind control.
    What hypnosis is >> Hypnosis is a focused, state of awareness that relaxes you and allows the hypnotherapist to work on a subconscious level to help you make positive improvements in your life. Hypnotherapy is "guided, self-improvement behavior modification." About 95% of the time you are AWARE of what is happening during hypnosis and can open your eyes at any time. Sometimes (5% of the time) for a specific purpose, you can be taken to the deepest somnambulistic level of hypnosis where you don't remember upon awakening what transpired. Most of the time this is not necessary.
    I hope this helps to "de-mystify" the mis-understandings surrounding hypnosis.
    NOTE: The type of CONTROL gained over another person that can happen through hypnosis is ONLY achieved with the use of other coordinated tactics: Sleep deprivation, drugs, hallucinogens, electo-shock and other highly-invasive procedures. Mind control and creating "sleepers" can only be achieved using these other strategies in tandem with hypnosis. Hypnotherapists are not covert gov't "black-ops" specialists.
    I hope this helps. By the way, I'm a certified, clinical hypnotherapist who graduated from the "Harvard of Hypnosis"... the Hypnosis Motivation Institute in Tarzana, CA in the Los Angeles, California area.

    our school's psychologist/hypnotist conducted a hypnotism session on us to release the anxiety of university entrance exam once, he simply gathered us all in the conference hall with a light soothing music and dim lighting, and started to give a "relaxation speech", just like the one in the beginning of this video ironically , at some point he asked us to imagine a red balloon lifting our right hand, and some of us actually did that, not me though (when my hand didn't rise i had decided to check other people lol) . and he continued with how we were all gonna be relaxed and do well during the exam etc. after the session i asked some of my friends who raised their hands if it was for real and they had told me that they didn't remember anything about it, in conclusion those who seemed to be more open to suggestions haven't done significantly better job in the exam, so i know that the process is really working for some people, not the more artistic ones as it's often claimed to be though because i am an artistic person myself (painting, acting in plays for years etc) and i was fully awake during the whole proccess even though i wasn't resistant, i am just not sure of its effectiveness

    I've been put under while listening to a recording from one of my favourite hypnotist. Trance itself is very pleasant especially after a long day. Usually trance to me feels like taking a nap but being conscious through out. I listen to the sleep recordings from my favourite hypnotist and they help me sleep in under 30 minutes usually (sometimes I have to listen to two in which case it's almost an hour) which is way faster than me laying on the bed and staring for a n amount of hours waiting for sleep.

    Hi all,
    I'm a Hypnotherapist (C.ht licensed by HMI of Tarzana CA) by profession, and I have to say, awesome job on explaining hypnosis in a layman-friendly way. Steven Graham pretty much said it all, but I would add that hypnosis is a very diverse and complicated subject.
    Actually, the hypnotic state is a relatively simple subject, but the difficulty lies in using this state for maximum benefit. Everyone's different, therefore a subtly different and personalized approach is necessary to help each person.
    Listen, we could on all day explaining different theories and approaches, but the basics stay the same.
    Hypnosis is a natural thing that happens to everyone at least twice a day - when we wake up and before we sleep. Some people slip in and out of 'hypnosis' all day. It's completely natural. Wonderful.
    All the best,
    Tzvi

    Social Pressure. A person in authority wants you to act in response, and you want to respond as expected. Stage performer, doctor, sex guru - whoever is trying to hypnotize you is giving you the opportunity to play along and achieve acceptance - or not.
    Some people deeply want to meet the social pressure - but will also not accept that is what drove them to act as they did. So they'll rationalize - I was hypnotized.
    That isn't to say that the human brain doesn't behave differently when calm and focused versus distracted and overwhelmed.
    Isn't everyone more likely to positively respond to a suggestion given when in a calm, relaxed mood - versus angry or afraid?
    In the end - especially with stage hypnotists and the whole "SLEEP" or "act like a chicken" or "raise your arm / finger" nonsense - it all looks like theater, just like how "faith healers" know the "faithful" will react properly when touched - to fall into convulsions and mumble in tongues.
    I also wonder if some people actually desire to be mentally dominated / want to be told what to do and what to think - to give up responsibility temporarily - you know, the submissive sort of role in BDSM ?
    And so hypnosis is really just a way to achieve, unofficially - a power-exchange dynamic temporarily between the hypnotist and the hypnotized?

    I already know I CAN and HAVE been hypnotized, I am just trying to figure out if there is more to it then I have initially believed.

    I would like for you to reply to this as soon as possible. I'm just gonna ask a few questions. 1-in hypnosis, like let's say your told you won't be able to move your legs for 15 minutes, I know it's mental, but like is it just you thinking, and not giving physical effort that makes you not be able to move them, (I can do that without hypnosis, like I try to in my head but not physically) or is it with your head, but physically. like you can try your hardest and nothing will happen while physically trying to move your legs. that's my main question. 2-if your answer to my first question is that you physically can't move even trying to move your muscles in your legs to move them like, then how do I go into trance, I'll look up other methods, but still, as i try I just can't seem to do it. thanks in advance. :)

    I can confirm even though it hasnt happened to me, my brother and a couple other students of school and he went balls off the walls, thought he and some other boys were the Backstreet Boys and the girls were backup dancers, the girls then thought they were all Taylor Swift after the hypnotist made them forget their names and made one of them, my cousin, think their full name was Taylor Swift and made the other girls think they were Taylor Swift and then they sang Taylor Swift, I was terrified during the whole ordeal and it was 10/10 experience

    I've tried hypnotism and I found it very useful. I have a lot of social anxiety and was devastated over a objectively minor social issue. I used hypnotism to give me confidence. As I thought back on the issue. I felt a deep apathy. I thought I might have messed myself up. Turns out thats how people act when they screw up around people they don't care about. there are dangers to doing hypnotism so be careful as should i.

Flowers and candy and fanfare, comments on looks etc can be seen as ingenuine. More high maintenance, possibly less independent women on the other hand like the showmanship. Know what to say comes with practice, and knowing who you want. That's my unsolicited advice.

    Literally yesterday I accidentally hypnotize myself while staying at a friends house. Now for context it was late about 2am, we stayed up doing nerd stuff and after we hit the hay I was so exhausted and I had to sleep in the most uncomfortable cot ever without a pillow. Now because of that I was curious and in a way bored because I couldn’t fall asleep and what I did was pull out a pocket watch I recently got from temu😂 and just kinda spinned it back in forth and just kept track of it and my vision got extremely blurry and I kinda lost track of what was going on around me and my friend who was reading on his phone next to me but I think I self hypnotized myself and only because it felt really weird and I felt extremely exhausted afterwards like all my tiredness hit at once and kinda fell asleep but also now that I woke up even though I only probably got like 4 good hours of sleep I for some reason feel pretty refreshed. I don’t know why or if I’m just really resilient but yeah that’s my story. I also had coffee when I woke up so maybe that contributed idk but yeah this happened last night

    I have once read books stating that there could be some dangerous situations like for example that a woman was made to believe that her husband was a lion- and she attacked him. One man was amde to fall asleep via the word "super". This happened when his girlfriend said this, and the man fell into this deep state, so that the stage hypnotist had to come back saying that this had been the third time.One German therapist made a woman act like a child and told her she should not wake up again- meaning that he had to get deeper into that before the brain had enough by itself. And then I saw a stage hypnotist making a man forget his name and stick his arms to his head. This all frightens me...

    Hi can you make a video about "the truth" because its very complicated issue for me, because in science they even saids that ther is no such thing as truth in science" but we believe in science more than anything, but through them they dont even believe that "truth" exist so what to believe now huhuT.T , anyways nice video though

    • @BrainStuffShow
      @BrainStuffShow  7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      That'd be an awesome topic for a video. Basically, the problem is that science can only prove or disprove things based on actual evidence. And there are plenty of things that we've got a LOT of really strong evidence for. But scientists are always willing to accept new evidence and to revise their theories based on that evidence. So when scientists talk about not being "sure" about something, or not knowing the "truth", that's because there's always a possibility that new evidence will come to light and change what we currently think we know.
      Does that help? I'll definitely add the idea to our potential topic list. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    I doubt that I've ever been hypnotized really deeply on purpose. You need a lot of focus for that, which I lack. However, when you give me a good book, I'll be entranced by it before you know it. I could spend hours reading a book, sitting on the same chair in the same position while the world goes on alround me. I won't even hear you if you speak to me. Same goes for archery: When I aim, it's just me, the bow, the arrow and the target. Nothing else. Not to mention that sometimes, the bow becomes me.

Daydreaming is never vivid for me, and hypnosis supposedly can cause vivid visuals, yet is similar to daydreams? Idk, maybe there's something affecting me which prevents me from going that deep. Maybe a mental condition.

    "The Hypnotic State and the Sleep State are different levels of brain function and they serve two entirely different purposes. Just like your body needs to expend energy in order to burn calories and make a physical change, your mind must be in the right state to optimize and experience the suggestions you are giving it. In other words, hypnosis requires your active participation. "

I suffered from deppression and anxiety, every night i can't sleep, i listen to music, everything but it just keeps me awake even more then i installed this app hoping it will work. And surprisingly it worked, Just in 2 minutes i feel asleep. I listen to it everynight but there's one thing that i noticed, i sleep now at 8 that's my routine and i often woke up at 12 midnight, the sound already stopped. It makes me wonder why? i mean of course it will stop but why i also woke up every 12 am, was it just a coincidence? and then when i listened to it again i didnt skip the biginning in which it explains the hipnosis as i used to. And that's when i realized that the reason why i always woke up at 12 is becuase i didnt set it into an overnight. It was set for 5 hours so after 5 hours the voice would say something like 'wake up' and that's why i woke up.
