Although hypnotized people are in a state more akin to wakefulness, Hypnosis can appear to observers to be like sleep because suggestions of relaxation are frequently given as part of a hypnotic routine.

When people are hypnotized, they typically do not "see" anything unusual or out of the ordinary. Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation and heightened suggestibility, and people who are hypnotized may experience a range of sensations and perceptions, depending on the suggestions given by the hypnotist. Some people may experience vivid visualizations or imagery, while others may feel a sense of detachment or dissociation from their surroundings. Some people may feel like they are in a dreamlike state, while others may simply feel very relaxed and focused. It's important to note that not everyone responds to hypnosis in the same way, and some people may not experience any significant changes in perception or awareness.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have shown that hypnosis can produce changes in activity levels in several brain regions, including the prefrontal cortex, the anterior cingulate cortex, and the insula. These regions are associated with attention, perception, and awareness, which suggests that hypnosis may alter the way the brain processes information. Additionally, research has shown that hypnosis can produce changes in brain wave activity, with some studies suggesting that hypnosis may increase alpha and theta brain waves, which are associated with relaxation and reduced anxiety.

Hypnosis can be used to alleviate compulsive and invasive memories from distracting one from living a healthy and happy life by eliminating their emotional attachment to them. Hypnosis can also be used to develop anchoring techniques and enhanced focus and attention to details which can be used to help individuals to have enhanced memory capabilities.

While under hypnosis it is common for individuals to exhibit involuntary movements such as eye flutter or muscle twitch, similar to when someone is sleeping.

When carried out by a trained and skilled professional, Hypnosis is a safe treatment. But on occasion, a few people might experience unpleasant side effects like dizziness or headache.

The ability to recall an experience entirely rests on the individual; if you want to, you will remember.

No, not at all. Under Hypnosis, no one can be forced to do anything against their will. Under Hypnosis, your moral and ethical standards will remain intact. Your unconscious mind's role is to look out for and assist you. You won't say or do anything to embarrass yourself, say anything you don't want to say, or do more than you feel comfortable doing, just as you cannot be forced to do anything against your will. When a client's values conflict with a hypnotherapist's suggestion, the client typically "wakes up." You always have complete control over the situation.
