Hypnosis is an exciting tool that anyone can learn to use to make rapid changes in their life. You can lose weight, quit smoking, stop nail biting, build self-confidence, and so much more. But there are a lot of misconceptions about hypnosis that are stopping people from taking advantage of it. This video will set the record straight!

Hello Wolfgar,
Animals and fish cannot be hypnotized, only people can. Some animals, however do exhibit symptoms that some people call hypnosis, like “immobility response.” But this is NOT hypnosis, it is instinct that helps to keep them alive in times of danger by making them appear to be dead.
Fish, well buddy, I’m no expert, but I would guess that octopus and squid may have some kind of chemical that they inject into other fish that paralyzes them. Again, this is not hypnosis.
what is the difference between deep and shallow?
my dad is a certified hypnotist but i’ve always been scared of being hypnotized but yet i still want to get a hypnosis to lose weight. i’ll be talking to my dad about it lol
The deeper that a person goes into hypnosis, the more control they can have over their unconscious. For example, a very deep subject could have major surgery without chemical anesthesia!
For most of the therapeutic uses of hypnosis, depth of any kind is not required. Light subjects can get the same benefits as a deep subject.
Thanks! These are great videos.
how come othe animals such as crabs orsome fishes get hypnotized eisily by the octopus,or squids?
Thanks for such an insightful series!
