How Does Hypnosis Work and What Happens During Hypnosis?

Great questions. Hypnosis is guided relaxation. When relaxed enough you move into a trance-like state. You naturally go into trance-like states every day. It is similar to being completely absorbed in a book, movie, music, or even one’s own thoughts or meditations. In the trance state, you control all of your actions, you can hear everything around you, and you cannot be forced to do something against your will.
