The dangers of hypnosis and hypnotherapy | Human Givens

People use hypnosis in order to abuse children.

Great, sir🎉
Hate Propaganda is a form of mass Hypnosis.❤

Wow, some serious misinformation here. Some stuff is simply wrong, like the REM nonsense, some of it is deliberate misinformation, like the statement about false memories. False memories don't spontaneously arise, the would have to be planted. And it's more common for false memories to be planted by well meaning family members or therapists, and it doesn't require a trance state, either.
If you go to a hypnotist, he is going to do what you pay him to do, which is try to help you. That's what you're paying him for.
We are left with two WHYs: Why do you or these people think evil hypnotists are out to get you, and why are you making these misleading statements?

His voice is very calming

When someone tells you that there’s massive amount of evidence against something without giving you any, don’t listen..

So what happens if I talk to someone who's asleep in REM sleep?

You can literally discover your past life through hypnosis

It's easy to cast negatives on to something when it suits our agenda to do so. Some of what you say is pure fantasy and I guess that's why you provide no evidence for your claims on those points.
Most often the problems you point out are not problems with hypnosis itself but of the people carrying out the hypnosis.
The big question though is this... if hypnosis and or hypnotherapy is so problematic, why is it at the core of Human Givens? Why do HG practitioners use hypnosis?

Just because there are people listening to him, doesn’t mean what he is saying is correct.
Read David Spiegel’s, M.D. research at Stanford.

People who listen to or have listened to this guy needs to walk up and slap the fk out of him for ripping people off and running around telling lies to people for his own selfish gain!
What he presents is completely against all the science and research that has been proven.
If someone did believe him it’s solely because they didn’t do their own research and prove him wrong…

Hypnosis is so dangerous its like sending a message to the brain to stop thinking which is extremely unfamiliar with our daily activities.

I want it done but I don’t want it to mess me up even tho I want it to fix my anxiety… it’s really bad but I can’t do it because of that reason tho that it will mess with me

Danger is a necessary risk for good extreme hypno.

Lots of people have remedied lots of complex issues with hypnotherapy so I respect both have opinions but some have amazing success. If people are stopping smoking then that's fabulous. I've seen pain free dental work done so I can't deny it has its positive place. Works for some not all.

I went to a psycotherapist for 6 years- started ike a wonder- in the ned the state og mind he put me in have really desturbed me - he did it because he knew I would complain aganinst hi. He brought me back to the beginning state wh I almost lovd him. Two weeks later I collapsed- only way to explane is that it wa slike stikking thinn nedles into my head- just laying on the floor - clips came backand now I know reality came back and I dont know have I survived. I did this - and he knew what he was doing.

I think this is actually about sibling rivalry. Ivan’s Brother, Mark, is the founder of an enormously successful hypnosis business that sell hundreds of self-hypnosis recordings. None of them are particularly effective, but neither could they do anyone harm. Ivan seems to have an axe to grind about the alleged dangers of hypnosis. He certainly has no claim to objectivity. The biggest danger of hypnosis is wasting money on hypnotists who are poorly trained and don’t really understand what they are doing. You can be “certified” to practice hypnotherapy for a few hundred dollars, without having ever hypnotized anybody. Buyer Beware.

Lol I guess I can't get hypnotized cause I have autism

It is so dangerous in the hands of corrupt Doctors and Such. There is a situation that occured in the Midwest and still is of Nocturnal Abuse by Doctors and Nurses. They have done HORRIFIC things to this girl. From Sexual Experiments, to ECT, to hypnosis and tube feeding her excessive ETOH and telling her to drive...it is scary stuff. Or getting her to sign documents in the middle of the night that she does not even recall....a bad Cult

And those who are prone to hypnosis are those who are prone to neuroticism and hysteria!!! A well centered person doesnt allow someone else take charge unless its their spouse or children. Possibly the chief

Listen up people! This is just informative video.

Hypnosis is just a fast route into REM state. What is our REM state for? Anyone who hypnotizes you can make you forget their commands! Have anyone seen derren browns: making a murderer?

Er, what is the point of this? So people who don't know what they'r doing shouldn't be doing it? Okay, yes, agree. However, if you're going to stop people going into unregulated trances, you need to stop people reading books, looking at screens, watching films, thinking about memories... and you'd better stop them staring out of the window while you're at it!

I've been hypnotized to quit smoking. It worked. I haven't smoked a cigarette in 33 years. I suppose this guy thinks it's a bad thing. While hypnotized, I was aware of everything. If I had been told to embarrass myself or do something I wouldn't ordinarily do, I would have known it and would have refused.
Hypnosis is not a magic cure all and can be misused. But hypnosis in and of itself is not a bad thing. After all, if it helps someone with something like smoking, is that not a good thing?

I am a certified hypnotherapist and this is simply a bunch of lies.

Wow

WHERE ARE THE BLACK PPL SMHHHHH

And who is this guy,is he scientist ,is he on faculty doing brain study to claim such things ? What he does in his life,I assume nothing at all,because he speak garbage..Go and listen people in science of brain on GAIA doctor JOE DISPENZA...You have to always see not
what is talking but WHO IS TALKING..

Very good indeed. Realism at last when speaking of hypnosis.

I ve never seen a sight yet with such a high level of thumbs down and I add my agreemet to each of them.

so sissy hypnos do work and are dangerous lol

Bravo. Well said

This guy, who volunteered for stage hypnosis once got into an induced trance.
Later on after the show, he still believed that he didn't come fully out of trance. He believed that the hypnotist somehow left him in that state though he was only awake. Unfortunately he was diagnosed later with schizophrenia. Hypnosis might be dangerous somehow and maybe it depends on individuals.

Where is there good help for people who have been fractionated over and over?

While many (not all) of these points are valid on some level, this is an oversimplification and misleading.

It caused my psychosis I would not suggest it to anyone hypnosis is dangerous

Eh we get hynozited with looking at wall diver cars subliminal messaging it normal DUDE

I always hypnotize myself :D

What have said is true but the way and your voice tone makes it sounds so boring and untrue. I'm sorry. I just don't feel you.

Wasted my time watching this video

This whole video is a lie.

The world's BEST hypnotist… is your television set. And as to false memories, YES they CAN and DO occur due to LOUSY TECHNIQUES and suggestions given PRIOR to hypnosis.

LOL This is a silly video. Hypnotherapy is very effective in the right hands.
As you would with any profession, do your research into their qualifications and accreditations.

I am a clinical hypnotherapist myself and false memories can only happen if the hypnotherapist is not careful with the questions. Never ask leading questions, example. "Is the man hitting you your father?" That is a leading question and can create false memory. The hypnotherapist should only ask open questions instead such as. "Okay, you told me that a man is hitting you. Do you know this man?"

These are the types of questions hypnotherapists should ask. But even still, age regression is not 100% reliable even if the hypnotherapist is doing the right questioning.

This is just superb, I have been researching "make stage hypnotist" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Andrewlon Hypnotification Scheme - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my co-worker got cool success with it.

A Hypnotist can influence to you to do things that will harm yourself, if you do not know they are using covert methods of hypnosis. I was caused to break my own ankle by a criminal using covert methods of hypnosis & influence. I should think the vast majority of hypnotherapists are genuine helpful people though & some of them are unaware of covert methods anyway. If they are just using a standard hypnotic induction you are fully aware of what they are doing & can resist suggestions if need be.

hey ,if anyone else wants to discover hypnosis to study try Skyarza Hypnotic Control Star (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my neighbor got excellent results with it.

Check out some testimonies of ex-hypnotists who turned to God and Righteousness, and how they "KNOW" and "BELIEVE" that hypnosis is demonic and evil at it's core. The Truth will set you free!

Absolutely bullshit . All though yes you are very vulnerable in trance but in trance you can also something called JUST FUCKING IGNORING THE DAMN SUGGESTIONS. Like Jesus fucking Christ people

4 minutes lost from my precious life hearing this BS.
