In a new article published in BJPsych Advances, scientists have identified several major myths associated with hypnosis.
However, the most important of them is the loss of control by hypnotized people.
The culture often depicts how a person who is in a state of hypnosis loses control of him or her and is amenable to manipulation.
However, it is not. During hypnosis, people may express resistance and even resist hypnotic suggestions. And the experience of controlling behavior during a hypnotic session depends on the expectations and intentions of the person.
