A Few Myths Cleared Up on Covert Hypnosis

There are many myths that relate to covert hypnosis and today I am going to try and clear these up within this short article. There are many misconceptions that relate to NLP covert hypnosis so I will covert four of the biggest below, so keep reading.

1. The person doing the hypnotism takes control of a persons mind and actions

This is a myth. Hypnotists do not take control of a persons and make them do whatever they want. This is wrong as a person who is hypnotised is not sleeping and has a conscious awareness that they are aware. The hypnotist cannot make you cluck like a chicken when you are in a trance like state of covert hypnosis they can only bypass your critical mind and speak directly to your subconscious level.

2. You will not remember a thing once you come round from hypnosis.

It is true that hypnosis can affect your memory, however it is rare that you will suffer total amnesia. So again this is false. You are able to come out of a trance like state whenever you want when you are under the standard hypnosis and you are aware that it is happening. With covert hypnosis you are awake the full time so will not forget what has happened.

3. You lose control when hypnotised

You can get out of a trance like state whenever you want. So this is a total misconception once again. You will be able to feel and hear. You will not be paralysed this is just a myth. Like many hypnotist television programmes on TV that show you someone being hypnotised and then they are pricked with needles you will actually feel pain.

4. When hypnotised a person can recall anything

Hypnosis can enhance your memory to some extent but it does not lead to significant memory improvement. Generally a hypnotist will use certain techniques that will help better your memory and may help you remember certain things. However with covert hypnosis your will recall everything that has happened as you are not sleeping and are wide awake when the covert hypnosis is happening.

Above we have looked at the top four misconceptions of covert hypnosis and why they are myths. Do not be fooled by these hypnotists on TV that will try and use other techniques other than hypnotism to trick you. If you would like to read more about hypnosis read some more of my articles.
