Q: Is hypnosis safe?
A: Yes! As a matter of fact, in 1958 the American Medical Association approved hypnotherapy/hypnosis for use by specially trained and professionally responsible individuals. The British Medical Association also adopted hypnosis as a viable therapeutic technique in 1958. Scientists, medical professionals, and hypnotherapists have been using hypnosis for over 200 years and no one has ever been hurt by simply going into hypnosis. Regardless of how Hollywood likes to depict hypnosis in the movies, you cannot be made to do something that goes against your desires, morals, or values. It simply won't happen.
