Frequently Asked Questions
What is hypnosis?
A state of relaxation and/or a level of concentration that the average individual reaches daily. Self-hypnosis is accomplished most often when one is “absorbed” in a TV program, experiencing repetition (highway driving), or daydreaming. “Hypnotherapy” is a form of guided relaxation using concentration where the ideas expressed (suggestions) by the hypnotist are generally experienced more clearly, which in turn creates new awareness. Depending on one’s motivations, there may be a shift in attitude about specific subject matters (habits and stressed). The only requirement for getting therapeutic results is that the person has a conscious desire to change, or in other words, is in agreement with the suggestions. Answered by Dr. Allen S. Chips DCH
Can a person's memory be erased?
No. If one undergoing hypnosis wants to remember, he or she will. In some cases, if the client wants to forget something, amnesia can be produced with a post-hypnotic suggestion, but it wears off as quickly as the subject wishes. Although, a certified hypnotherapist can help a person transform a memory which may be causing problems. The mind contains unconscious memories, which generally are responsible for our decisions, attitudes, feelings and behaviors. Answered by Dr. Allen S. Chips DCH

Can anyone be hypnotized?
Yes, provided one has normal physiological and psychological functioning and therefore the ability to concentrate and relax. As long as a normal human being is willing, he or she may undergo hypnosis. Insusceptible people are simply not willing. There is a positive correlation between one’s willingness to relax and concentrate and the ability to undergo hypnosis. Answered by Dr. Allen S. Chips DCH
Do people do things under hypnosis that are against their morals or values?
No. As a general rule, if the client were given a suggestion he or she did not agree with, he or she would simply refuse, laugh at it, or awaken (regain normal awareness). In stage hypnosis, the volunteers are usually under the influence of alcohol and have come to the show for the purpose of relaxing, acting silly and having a good time, therefore, they are easily encouraged to do so. Because inhibitions are often reduced under hypnosis, the subject is more likely to experience their inner character traits and motivations. Answered by Dr. Allen S. Chips DCH
