Hi Len, Hope you didn't hurt yourself! I had to check my spelling when you said that 'cos I know it's one of my weak spots. Anyway I'd rather have a massage than be hypnotised mmmmmmmmmm

Viv Hypnotism is not very good with giving up cigarettes - or any other drug habit. The trouble is that the subconscious develops a liking for nicotine. The conscious mind might say "give it up, its bad for you" but the right hand side of the brain needs a lot of convincing that something it likes should be given up.. Aversion therapy may work better. Len

Viv Actually I type very slow. Because I do it with two fingers. I also read through what I type and correct any mistakes I may spot and that slows it up even more. What does lol mean ? Len

Tina There are a lot con-men about who pretend to be hypnotists. If you saw a real one, how do you know he didn't pick your pockets or raid your handbag? Len

Hypnotism is a technique for inducing deep state of relaxation. Although a person who has been hypnotised may appear to be asleep, he or she is actually awake and alert but so relaxed he/she is able to tap into feelings and memories deep in the subconscious. The defences are lowered so he/she is more open to suggestion. Disadvantage of hypnotism is that client can become dependent on the therapist. There are techniques for self-hypnosis which may be used for recalling memories. Len

It would be kinder to get her an electronic organiser. Don't mess about with hypnotism, it's dangerous. Regards Terry
