STAGE HYPNOTISM

What would you do if you were called on stage? Would you spoil the fun, or play along and be a sport? Many volunteers are friends of the hypnotist or have been paid. Turning such a wonderful alternative medicine and self help into a circus show is in such bad taste and should be banned, or in someway controlled. The problem is that hypnosis works so well that clients don't need to return to the hypnotherapist, they stop smoking in a couple of sessions, or sleep like a log, so the business side of it suffers. I'ts hard to make a living being a hypnotherapist so many will turn to stage hypnotism to earn a living. They make people laugh, and they also convince some that hypnotism is quite powerful, so looking at it that way we can see the benefits. The problem is that the audience can percieve hypnosis to be frightening and controlling.
