1) Don't expect hypnosis to be some kind of magical healing method that will take away all your problems with the wave on a wand. It doesn't happen that way. For hypnosis to work, you must be prepared to put in some time and effort.
2) Hypnosis is not a coercive method. In other words, if you are not a willing party, hypnosis cannot work on you. Let's say you are trying to quit smoking. But you know that you don't really want to do so. In this case, since you are not really willing to quit smoking, hypnosis will not be able to help you.
3) Hypnosis is certainly not mind control. The subject is aware that the suggestions are being made to the mind, and can refuse to participate further at any time. The ability to choose is never impaired during hypnosis.
Sometimes, on television, we see hypnotized subjects behave in ways that they would never behave in when under hypnosis. This is an illusion created by the performers. They tend to choose subjects who are willing to participate in these shows. In other words, they are all willing participants. But that's just entertainment. In a real world healing situation, hypnosis is used very differently.
