E-PrincePeter Hummon GS trained for three years to be a hypnotist. But when he tells people at parties that he’s a hypnotist, they often “cover their eyes, change the subject, or dash across the room,” he said.
Now, those ...

Can you really go to this group and get hypnotized?
weird. my best friend got hypnotized once and was totally doing whatever the hypnoguy told him to do. so funny. always wanted to try it.
I dared my roommate to go to this but she didnt go, big chicken. I want to know if I can be hypnotized to stop procrastinating
me too. i should be studying right now. I don't see how hypnosis can help with procrastination.

I've worked with Pete extensively at his New York workshops. He's one of the best.
Hypnosis can help with procrastination if you use your mind to focus on the rewards of getting things done ahead of time and the pain and stress of waiting 'til the last minute. You can train your brain to be triggered to get into action early on so you can avoid the discomfort and stress of being under the gun. However, if you like the feeling of being under the gun, you might have a struggle on your hands.
Catherine R Smith is either deceptive or uninformed when she says an unqualified AMA endorsement of hypnosis has existed for 50 years.
In 1958, an AMA advisory committee did publish a report which stated that hypnosis "is a useful technique in the treatment of certain illnesses." Ms. Smith fails to mention this important qualification.
Also omitted is the fact that the AMA rescinded the 1958 hypnosis report in June 1987. Current AMA policy does not include a general endorsement of hypnosis.
I'm also a certified Hypnotist and I can attest to the fact that we don't control anyone. The reason most people think this is due to stage shows, but you remember one thing. What does a hypnotist usually ask before people come up on stage? He ask for people who WANT to come on stage and have a good time. These people are giving permission to the hypnotist so they can be hypnotized. They never do anything beyond their will. Think about this, have you ever noticed how some hypnotists send a person back.
The reason is they may have agreed to come on stage, but when a certain suggestion was given they didn't agree with they decided not to follow it. Hypnosis isn't mind control, but some people would like you to think it. All hypnosis is self hypnosis. People enter it all day long. Have you ever zoned out while driving on the highway, have you ever been so involved in a book or movie you didn't hear someone calling you. These are all naturally forms of hypnosis we enter into day in and day out. Is hypnosis a cure for everything? of course not, its nothing more than a tool to add to your toolbox. Hypnosis is nothing more than bypassing that part of your mind that is judgmental and analyzes everything.
