Have you ever tried hypnosis once, felt that nothing much happened and concluded: “I’m just not hypnotisable”?
That conclusion may be premature.
People genuinely differ in hypnotic responsiveness—but your experience in one particular session can also be influenced by the instructions, your expectations, how you use your imagination, the relevance of the suggestions and whether you are participating or anxiously testing yourself throughout.
In this short video, I explain the important differences between your general disposition towards hypnosis, your response in one situation, the skills you can practise and the outcome you hope to achieve. Before you permanently diagnose yourself as “unhypnotisable”, watch this.
Have you ever decided hypnosis wasn’t working after only one or two attempts? Tell me in the comments.
