    Timing is critical in instant inductions. Hypnosis is a wonderful tool to help people overcome non-conscious issues like anxiety, depression, addictions and phobias.
  • Why are so many people making assumptions that hypnosis is fake?I, myself have been hypnotized before. You can't just assume stuff about something without knowing anything about it!

    We are hypnotized all the time. A good example is when for example you are on a long drive home and you get close to home or even will pull your car in your driveway and then you didn't remember driving home. If you have done that in one degree or the other means you have and can been hypnotized.

    It's funny how so many people think hypnosis is fake... There's so much evidence that it's a real thing. I'm not talking about any claims of hypnotism, only that it can & does occur.

    I find slightly funny that TED flagged this talk that's showing a physiological phenomenon for lacking "legitimate scientific support", while the guest stated clearly that researchers are working at it though still can't explain it clearly. I don't get the ethical argument here: virtually the whole scientific research lacks explanation until it's finished, but luckily that doesn't make scholars shy away from presenting their thesis. Being in the process of studying something new it's not a shame.

    Feel that this info should be reserved for the trained therapist...

    The ad it starts with is just so amazingly irrtating.

    Love the jacket! Where do you get something like that? Very futuristic, but also very classic. I can't put my finger on it--it has elements of traditional Chinese clothing as well. Sorry, I was distracted. What were we talking about? :)

    What? 48K views for one year? TEDX has more than 34M subs. What a pity to this hypnotist and he uploaded this video in his channel while the comment section is OFF. Afraid of the bashers I guess.
  • @Madhuwellness
    Hypnotherapy is very helpful in many mental conditions. Addiction, phobia, trauma etc
  • @allenreed5350
    A terrifying aspect of hypnosis is the recall of horrific events. Research Betty and Barney Hill…
