Hypnotizing Yourself. When you think of hypnosis, two images probably come to mind. The first is from a B-grade movie where you see some Svengali-like doctor — usually deranged — dangling a pocket watch in the face of some innocent victim. The second is of some hypnotist on a stage with a dozen or so audience volunteers who are either dancing with brooms or are clucking like chickens. Fortunately, neither image is accurate. Actually, hypnosis is less mysterious and far more mundane than you may think. No, you will not be turned into a clucking chicken Probably no other psychological technique for stress reduction is as misunderstood as hypnosis. You are not asleep.You are not unconscious.You won't lose control or be under someone's spell.You won't do anything that you do not want to do.
