People ask me that question all the time. Or they say, "I don't think I can be hypnotized" ... "there's no way I can go under". The truth is, just about everyone can be hypnotized. If you drive a vehicle and arrive at your destination and notice that you cannot remember any of the drive there, then you have experienced a mild form of hypnosis. We often call this 'highway hypnosis'. Same thing with watching a movie or television show. We all know its fictional - with a director calling the shots, actors, and a script. But often, we get lost in the story, buy into it, cry, laugh, get angry, or demonstrate some emotion. Again - its a mild form of hypnosis. One of my best success stories was a guy that thought he would have trouble 'going under'. I told him "we are not going 'under' anything, rather, we are going to relax you and soon after you'll go into a hypnotic state." He did awesome and went very far into the hypnotic process. Now he has been off of a 2 pack a day smoking habit for nearly a year and he is super pleased with his new healthy lifestyle. So if you are reading this and you think you cannot be hypnotized - think again!
