The method of hypnosis is defined as a state of sleep because it is known that it is named after Hypnopsis, the God of Sleep. It is interpreted as managing one’s consciousness by putting someone to sleep, especially among the people. However, in reality, hypnosis is a method that aims to focus the person being treated.
What is treatment with hypnosis?
The hypnosis application, which must be performed by a specialist doctor under appropriate conditions, is performed with the aim of providing the person’s concentration. The person does not lose consciousness. Rather, it focuses on a single point. In this way, it is aimed to raise awareness of the person. The people being treated are in a state of open mind to hear and perceive everything the hypnotist says. This is proof that people do not lose consciousness. Because, in a situation contrary to their characters, the people who are treated give the same reaction during hypnosis as they react when they are not under hypnosis. People who have no obstacles to benefit from hypnosis treatment have hypnosis with the possibility of curing the following problems:
- Loss of sexual desire
- insecurity
- sleep problems
- Eating disorders
- Various fears
What are the harms of hypnosis?
As with any application, there may be some side effects for hypnosis. The dangers of hypnosis can vary from person to person. There are no known and officially announced serious consequences. However, no one can be hypnotized without a clear conclusion about whether the person is suitable for hypnosis.
In order for hypnosis to be performed, the person must consent to it and have it done voluntarily. The trust in the person who will do the application is also extremely important. However, in some cases, people are never hypnotized. At the beginning of these situations are the elderly and people who have a definite and clear diagnosis of psychological diseases.
In general, it is said that the first of the hypnosis damages is the inability to wake up, especially among the people. However, it is said that such a record has not been found anywhere in the world. Some of the most known and possible side effects are as follows:

Although it is not certain that these situations will occur, there is always the possibility of negative situations. In order to avoid any problems, this application should not be used without a doctor’s recommendation or guidance.
Who cannot be hypnotized?
Some people are not prone to hypnosis. There may be multiple reasons for this situation. In order for a hypnosis practice to be performed, it is extremely important to volunteer along with the ability to focus and imagination. Not everyone can be hypnotized, but hypnosis cannot be practiced unless the person is willing to be hypnotized.
As the age progresses, the susceptibility to hypnosis decreases at the same rate. Children are most susceptible to hypnosis. The susceptibility state can be related to the personality traits as well as the mental state of the person.
