Hypnosis
Hypnosis, according to our power point, is a systematic procedure that increases suggestibility. I think that hypnosis is so interesting and incredible. I do believe that hypnosis works. I believe that it works mostly because the person who is undergoing the hypnosis is open to and accepting of the changes that they are undergoing. I think that it is a healthy alternative to drugs to help to get over fears or certain bad habits. I would love go to through a hypnosis therapy for my fear of elevators and heights because I think that I would be more able to enjoy certain things. I think it would work particularly because I very much want to overcome my fear, and I think it would help me to achieve that. I also think it would help people who desperately want to quit smoking because they believe that it is going to help them accomplish it. I wonder if someone were to put someone temporarily to sleep and use the placebo effect, if the hypnosis would still work because the client believe that it will.

I do think that hypnosis can be very helpful. I like the fact that it doesn't use drugs and it can be a very powerful tool. I like what you said about the person undergoing the hypnosis is open to and accepting of the changes that they are about to get. That is a good thing, and that positivity and acceptance is something that a lot of people do not have. I agree that it is a great way to overcome fears and bad habits, but the problem is a lot of people are not able to be hypnotized, or don't let themselves be.
