How does hypnosis work?
April 25th, 2011
My ma got hypnotized to stop her from smoking a while back and it worked. I’m just wondering how does it work. Is your mind given commands that it must follow, or is it like mind over matter, you think you have been hypnotized to stop smoking therefore you stop smoking.

It is a suggestion put into the mind.
Hypnosis puts the body in a state of deep relaxation. Suggestions are placed that indicate rewards (by feeling good about doing or not doing it). It is not a command that must be followed; so all those you are a chicken directives just aren’t going to work. =)
The suggestions during hypnosis change the rules that you use to process information and feelings. By directly changing the rules of how you respond to stimulus you actual do not want to smoke.
