it's ironic that his voice is kind of hypnotic.

Like all useful tools it can be miss used. A gun in the right persons hand can be a life saver in the wrong hands a murder

Anything can be used as a weapon. Even a butter knife. Make sure that just because something CAN hurt you doesn't mean it's likely to do so.

I am a clinical hypnotherapist myself and false memories can only happen if the hypnotherapist is not careful with the questions. Never ask leading questions, example. "Is the man hitting you your father?" That is a leading question and can create false memory. The hypnotherapist should only ask open questions instead such as. "Okay, you told me that a man is hitting you. Do you know this man?" These are the types of questions hypnotherapists should ask. But even still, age regression is not 100% reliable even if the hypnotherapist is doing the right questioning.

We’re all being hypnotized daily. It’s called the news.

I disagree with many of the statements. I have had wonderful experiences with Hypnotherapy , I have quit smoking easily , when I had been trying to quit for years and couldn't. I have had TMJ go away. Hypnotherapy helped me with stress that was crippling my body. I am now fine. I am a believier in the wonderful changes that come along with the use of Hypnotherapy by a highly trained clinical hypnotherapist.

Honesty, hypnosis is completely fine as long as your in the right hands

When someone tells you that there’s massive amount of evidence against something without giving you any, don’t listen..

This video is right on. I was the victim of an abusive therapist who put me under hypnosis without my concent and would yell at me. He also made sugestions that caused me a great deal of anxiety. I think it is terrable and should be illegal for a therapist to use hypnosis without the cliants concent. I only realized that was going on when I knoticed I was having black outs during therapy and had to be walked to the loby because I would always leave his ofice disoreanted.

Im a hypnoterapist, and this is utter b... most of the statements are without proof. Everybody woking with the mind and the mindset, helping people is thrown under the bus. Everybody is in a state of hypnosis through the day, and thats also how an athletes coach will get a maximum effect on the athlete. .. in a state of full focus.

One can't deny the dangers of hypnotism without also denying its efficacy. Anything highly effective will have potential dangers. The fact that hypnotism works can hardly be doubted. Just consider the fact that it can be used in place of anesthesia in surgery. Is anesthesia potentially dangerous? Of course. Does that make it bad? Of course not. I presume that Ivan Tyrrell would agree with me.

I think he is confusing two issues here, that of the efficacy of hypnotherapy and unethical/not well trained practitioners. There have been unethical doctors who abuse their patients but that does not stop people from using other doctors who are ethical. Hypnotherapy is a tool and whether it is ethical/dangerous or not depends on the practitioner. Therefore it is important to find a reputable hypnotherapist who adheres to their professional body. Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool, which in the hands of a well trained, ethical practitioner can significantly help an individual.

This guy, who volunteered for stage hypnosis once got into an induced trance. Later on after the show, he still believed that he didn't come fully out of trance. He believed that the hypnotist somehow left him in that state though he was only awake. Unfortunately he was diagnosed later with schizophrenia. Hypnosis might be dangerous somehow and maybe it depends on individuals.

I can not make you do anything against your will. You will not do anything against your moral code. For a hypnotherapist to say these things is a really good thing. It is a suggestion. Hypnosis helps a lot of people. It is not something to fear. It can, however, change your entire life for the good.

The danger isn’t in the hypnotic state, but in an unscrupulous or uninformed practitioner. Just choose your hypnotist carefully and you should do very well.

His voice is very calming

In a sense I retract my statement below or at least qualify it. I’ve thought a lot about this and it appears to me that three different phenomena exists that we call hypnosis. While there seems to be some quality shared among them I would say they aren’t the same. When I watch volunteers for stage hypnosis I don’t see signs that there is any activation of REM state. I see no eye movement beneath closed eyelids, no change in the color of the face or muscle tone, no waxy appearance to the eye lids, no changes in breathing. I do see volunteers capable of fluid body movements which isn’t what I would expect from someone in REM state. Stage volunteers perform tasks almost as if they are pantomiming behaviors in ways that clients in hypnotherapy are hardly capable of. Take the jerky, slow, fasciculated movement of a hand levitation clients in hypnotherapy exhibit compared to stage volunteers dancing like John Travolta, for example. I do see what I take to be social compliance in stage hypnosis. It's not clear how much the conscious mind plays in stage hypnosis, but it doesn’t appear to be as suppressed as it is in hypnotherapy. When a client enters hypnosis/trance with a hypnotherapist I do see distinct signs of REM state: changes in breathing, relaxed facial muscle tone and even skin coloration, rapid eye movement, sometimes the brows are drawn together as if in concern. I take these differences to indicate hypnotherapy and stage hypnosis are very different phenomena. There is a shared quality of "trance," but I would suggest are different in kind. Conversational hypnosis might be a third, separate category as well. There doesn’t appear to be outward signs of trance. No REM state, although there is some slight indication of some changes in body movement. Consciousness is not disengaged as it appears to be in hypnotherapy. So if my earlier statement appears to be disrespectful I apologize. Calling it the dangers of hypnosis and hypnotherapy sensationalizes the issue to me, but the points are valid. Making distinctions between stage hypnosis and hypnotherapy, I suggest, helps make distinctions that are glossed over otherwise.

Where can I find the whole video?

guys, were all hypnotized now, were in the Matrix

This video is fascinating. I always took it as read that hypnosis was harmless with regards to doing things agianst your will - although, when you think about it logically, very few people would deliberately bark like a dog in front of a room full of people. I have seen lots of examples of people humiliating themselves under hypnosis. Also, to those who are getting annoyed by this video; the people in it seem to be therapists - and at no point to they claim to be anti-hypnosis.

I have to disagree with this blanket condemnation of hypnotherapy which I have found to be very precise and effective in most people. Whilst there may be some hypnotherapists who are not sufficiently trained and might potentially do harm you could also say that about any psychotherapist.- and their sessions invariably run for much longer than the standard 3 - 6 of hypnotherapy. It is true that hypnosis isn't the same as relaxation - although we tend to use this to access it but it certainly isn't sleep either - just because it shares characteristics with REM sleep doesn't make it sleep. People are awake and can leave at any time. It is very safe. I don't want people to be put off by hearing this opinion. Try it and see. It has nothing to do with stage hypnosis which is where people are made to do strange things.. and yes where is this 'evidence' he claims? The Human Givens College do some wonderful teaching. But this isn't it.

Ive hypnotized myself before and its rlly exciting and relaxing at the same time But if you do it too much it could have extremely serious consequences for you Like for a sleepover, party, or hangout, i love doing hypnosis games with friends but only do it a few times and DONT SPEAK AT ALL WHEN SOMEONE IS BEING HYPNOTIZED because it might just drive them crazy..

Lots of people have remedied lots of complex issues with hypnotherapy so I respect both have opinions but some have amazing success. If people are stopping smoking then that's fabulous. I've seen pain free dental work done so I can't deny it has its positive place. Works for some not all.

The speaker is splitting hairs and making blanket statements with no research to back it up.

The world's BEST hypnotist… is your television set. And as to false memories, YES they CAN and DO occur due to LOUSY TECHNIQUES and suggestions given PRIOR to hypnosis.

Very good indeed. Realism at last when speaking of hypnosis.

all hypnosis IS SELF hypnosis. period. you can always say no before you engage in it.

I think this is actually about sibling rivalry. Ivan’s Brother, Mark, is the founder of an enormously successful hypnosis business that sell hundreds of self-hypnosis recordings. None of them are particularly effective, but neither could they do anyone harm. Ivan seems to have an axe to grind about the alleged dangers of hypnosis. He certainly has no claim to objectivity. The biggest danger of hypnosis is wasting money on hypnotists who are poorly trained and don’t really understand what they are doing. You can be “certified” to practice hypnotherapy for a few hundred dollars, without having ever hypnotized anybody. Buyer Beware.

So what happens if I talk to someone who's asleep in REM sleep?

hypnosis is not sleep. Your completely aware of whats going on.

I went to a psycotherapist for 6 years- started ike a wonder- in the ned the state og mind he put me in have really desturbed me - he did it because he knew I would complain aganinst hi. He brought me back to the beginning state wh I almost lovd him. Two weeks later I collapsed- only way to explane is that it wa slike stikking thinn nedles into my head- just laying on the floor - clips came backand now I know reality came back and I dont know have I survived. I did this - and he knew what he was doing.

What is your purpose for hypnotizing a person, besides financial??????

The person needs to want it or not? I’ve heard conflicting opinions.The subliminal messages definitely are hard to hear for the most part. Can you be hypnotized for life as some KZfaq vids say? Any Christians have opinions? How about binaural beats, etc.? Or if you try one that doesn’t pertain to you, i.e. if I listened to one just for women? And no, I would not do it, just wondering. I’ve been really agitated lately also forgetful which I have adhd so that part I can expect at times. Also take adhd/depression/blood pressure meds and have some learning disability and has a 2 shuny surgeries for hydrocephalus well 3 the first 2, one being a revision shortly after the first as a baby the other a few years ago. I’m in my mid-late thirties. I am a para w/ spina bifida.

This is crap. I want to know the real side effects.

I have been useing self hypnosis since i was in my teens, for various purpouses. since i lost my pairents, & had to struggle to cope alone, in circumstances of severe financial hardship, i have been useing it every evening, to keep my mind focused on positiv e thoughts & ideas, & suppress the necative ones. maybe if it wasent for my soothing & inspireing self hypnosis sessions, i would have committed suicide by now!. i also watch hypnosis videos & listen to hypnosis C.Ds. i have always known that if a hypnotist makes a sudgestion, that is against your beleifs or principals, you can just ignore it. & no, you are definately NOT asleep when you are Hypnotised, this is absolute balderdash!, if you were asleep, you would be completely unconcious, & unable to either hear or respond to anything that was being said!. I have never found anything frightening, or harmful about being Hypnotised. trance is a natural function of the human brain. we go into trance, often, such as when daydreamiing, or getting absorbed in an interesting book or movie. there's nothing dangerous, harmful, or sinister about it, so just ignore this paranoid scaremonger! oh, &, by the way, the screaming & yelling technique is brainwashing, not hypnosis. that dosent put you into trance, it puts you into shock, which is a completely different state of mind. the idea is to reduce a victim to a quivering, nurvous wreeck, who will agree to anything, just to make ther tormenters stop their psychological torture. it has nothing to do with hypnosis, which is a soothing, relaxing process

hypnosis not sleep at all,even tutor confirmed it.when you sleep you relaxed,however as he confirmed hypnosis is not relaxed state.Contradiction and also my experiments showed everything to me.

Wait wait wait wait wait. Cuz i literally just saw a guy kidnap a girl from seemignly just talking to her. The fact that this guy knew there could be dangers.....goes to show how smart he is

Where is there good help for people who have been fractionated over and over?

Alchohol is just as much of an external influence on will power as hypnosis is, if not more so. As for Celebrity TV humiliation, that comes with an incentive, on the part of the person humiliating themselves. That is just an example of someone showing off for a prize, cash, attention, whatever. It is in those peoples' natures, hypnosis seems to change that nature though,

How do you make a nonconsenting person consent. Fatigue them out, with death threats to family, friends, self, then ask them if they consent to hypnosis. So, you gave consent. Now, especially since you're tired, have been given instructions to accept the hypnotists instructions without going to sleep, you accept the instructions. Input abusers add'l instructions and you have a hypnotized abuse victim. How can you say like there's no alternate way of ( look at Bill Cosby, Charles Manson, dentists...) of a person consenting, and its all completely of their own self control. The news shows everyday of people experiencing stuff that circumvents the tangent of logic you present ( as if its only up to the client). ?

I have watched this video and I still like hypnotics I love what it does and makes me feel happy! But you have ur own opinion!

All this guy is looking to do is discredit a very powerful tool that when used correctly by an honest and well trained therapist can bring dead back to life! He obviously doesn't have a clue about hypnosis and his mouth should be strapped tight. So hypnosis is a natural state of the mind like the awake state and sleep and which therefore happens naturally many times through the day. Which is why someone can be influenced in to buying something against their initial will or do something completely against their moral code, ie. teenagers do criminal things being influenced by their peers. Is this what an ethical and well trained hypnotherapist does? NO. In the past when people didn't know the ins and outs of hypnosis various kind of therapists did some damage, then we learnt from it and moved on. Nowadays you can see a good hypnotherapist and you can literally get a second lease of life: resolve trauma, build self confidence, manage chronic pain, get rid of anxiety, resolve conflicting issues, resolve intimacy issue, you name it and hypnotherapy can resolve it! I just hope no-one can be victim of hypnosis again in the hands of a "therapist" because it can be nasty alright. However, just like you go back to your GP if the drugs given are causing adverse reaction, you should go back to your therapist to tell them something went wrong and that they should fix it (for FREE). If after one-two sessions it's not fixed go to another hypnotherapist, one that is part of a WELL REPUTABLE hypntherapists associations.

I've been hypnotized to quit smoking. It worked. I haven't smoked a cigarette in 33 years. I suppose this guy thinks it's a bad thing. While hypnotized, I was aware of everything. If I had been told to embarrass myself or do something I wouldn't ordinarily do, I would have known it and would have refused. Hypnosis is not a magic cure all and can be misused. But hypnosis in and of itself is not a bad thing. After all, if it helps someone with something like smoking, is that not a good thing?

I always hypnotize myself :D

The question will be. Can hypnotherapy damage be undone? And how people can feel ever safe again after meeting dangerously inadequate practitioner? It's easy and "fun" to talk about all the dangers and errors. What about the solutions.

i am a professional hypnotist, and i say what is said in the video above is true

A Hypnotist can influence to you to do things that will harm yourself, if you do not know they are using covert methods of hypnosis. I was caused to break my own ankle by a criminal using covert methods of hypnosis & influence. I should think the vast majority of hypnotherapists are genuine helpful people though & some of them are unaware of covert methods anyway. If they are just using a standard hypnotic induction you are fully aware of what they are doing & can resist suggestions if need be.

Danger is a necessary risk for good extreme hypno.

Thera are so many hypnosis, specially in this site youtube, there is hypnosis that they call meeting the devine or spiritual guide, but they dont say whos that guide is? Whos that spirit is? They say the divine in our mind, whos that devine in our mind? May be we can choose what hypnosis we are going to use or search carefully if the hypnotherapist is really profesional..

Best Hypnosis Marco Paret a real best top master ever!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow

I think that you are really far away this video is so false !!!

i kinda understand this guys point of view i mean without hypnosis and the whole mind fullness study they could manipulate those ppl who have mental illnesses with more antidepressant and muscle relaxants the whole drug administration wouldnt have to lose money and they will be happy then all this guys do is to shut our neurotransmitters with drugs when we can pretty much do it ourselves with just mindfullness

I want it done but I don’t want it to mess me up even tho I want it to fix my anxiety… it’s really bad but I can’t do it because of that reason tho that it will mess with me

Thank-you Ivan for saying what really needs to be said about hypnosis. I gave a lecture in Sydney Australia about a year ago titled myths, misconceptions and misuse of hypnosis. I believe the myths have been used to establish hypnosis as a legitimate tool in therapy and as far as I can see are about 40 years old. They started to emerge at about the time hypnosis was legitimized in the US. But they are also dangerous myths as they have allowed the totally unregulated use of hypnosis.

Bravo. Well said

thank you Trilby2020!

For example, you only need to look at dental, surgical (hypno-anethsesia), dermatological and chronic pain management, to see the benefits of clinical hypnosis. Excuse the pun people, but 'wake-up'!

For those hypno-fans below who refuse to listen to this guy because they've had good hypnotherapy experiences-- He is only saying that it's POSSIBLE for hypnotherapy to be a negative thing, and that a lot of the claims hypnotherapists make about how hypnosis CAN'T POSSIBLY be dangerous are false. Sure if you're with a trusted hypnotherapist who knows what they're doing, maybe it could be a totally good thing. But it is possible for it to be damaging, and it is possible for someone to use hypnosis to take advantage of another. This isn't a question of how trustworthy hypnotherapists are, it's just clarifying what hypnosis is capable of so that people aren't lulled into the comforting belief that trust isn't necessary because hypnosis can't possibly be harmful no matter what.

I ve never seen a sight yet with such a high level of thumbs down and I add my agreemet to each of them.

Where is the evidence? this guy didn't cite one study. On the flip side, there are literally thousands of studies regarding the efficacy and positive benefits of therapeutic and medical hypnosis. Anything can cause harm, if that is your intention, or if you're not properly trained. For the average person, taking someone down into a relaxed state of deep inner focus and telling them good things about themselves is not dangerous. The worst that will happen is that they'll "manipulate" you (I say this with tongue in cheek humor) into having more confidence, higher self esteem, being more resourceful, and feeling better about yourself overall, as opposed to you "manipulating" yourself to do the opposite.

What if you were hypnotized into thinking Ute Yube isn't just a waste of time and filled with 99% clickbait videos with no real substance. You might be here against your will. Spooky?

Hypnosis is like the force from star wars. Its not good or evil it just is.

Shall we do away with all good things that can be misused?

I'm a clinical hypnotherapist and am amused by all your false accusations about hypnosis. It never ceases to amaze me how ignorant some people can be

Was I the only one who thought it was a woman's voice until the camera showed his face?

this video is bullshit but god DAAMN it's relaxing

There are so many false statements in this video. This is one of the worst-informed, scare-mongering videos on hypnotherapy that I've viewed. It seems that the presenter has an agenda based on his own belief system as opposed to actually understanding the topic he is discussing.

The first one on each is rightly OK both because it's on you to be in control. So, I guess it was a joke, indeed because they laughed.

Iată 5 mituri frecvente despre hipnoză, demontate, urmate de promovarea hipnoterapiei ca formă de relaxare: Mit #1: Vei face lucruri împotriva voinței tale sub hipnoză. Realitate: Hipnoza nu poate forța pe cineva să facă ceva împotriva valorilor sau convingerilor lor profunde. Rămâi întotdeauna conștient și în control. Mit #2: Vei dezvălui secrete personale sub hipnoză. Realitate: Hipnoza nu te face să spui lucruri pe care nu vrei să le dezvălui conștient. Integritatea ta este respectată. Mit #3: Vei rămâne blocat în starea de hipnoză. Realitate: Este imposibil să rămâi "blocat" în hipnoză. Vei ieși din acea stare relaxată la comanda terapeutului sau în mod natural. Mit #4: Hipnoza este un somn profund. Realitate: Hipnoza implică o stare de concentrare intensă și conștientă, nu un somn adânc. Ești receptiv, dar conștient. Mit #5: După hipnoză, vei uita tot ce s-a întâmplat. Realitate: De obicei îți vei aminti tot ce s-a petrecut în timpul ședinței de hipnoză, cu excepția cazului în care ți se sugerează altfel. Hipnoterapia este o metodă sigură și naturală de relaxare profundă a minții și corpului. Prin inducerea unei stări hipnotice ușoare, poți reduce stresul, anxietatea, durerile cronice și chiar obiceiurile nesănătoase. Este o cale excelentă de a accesa puterea subconștientului pentru vindecare, schimbare pozitivă și îmbunătățirea calității vieții. Oferă-ți un moment de liniște interioară prin hipnoterapie!

Read Read the the book "Many lives many masters" Dr Brian Weiss. Gives plenty of evidence that cannot be denied.

Er, what is the point of this? So people who don't know what they'r doing shouldn't be doing it? Okay, yes, agree. However, if you're going to stop people going into unregulated trances, you need to stop people reading books, looking at screens, watching films, thinking about memories... and you'd better stop them staring out of the window while you're at it!

I tried hypnotherapy and it made me worse tbh

He is hypnotising them to believe there are dangers to hypnotism 😂 I love it. Much a do about nothing g

For a lot of those things It rilly depends on you're level of trance

It's easy to cast negatives on to something when it suits our agenda to do so. Some of what you say is pure fantasy and I guess that's why you provide no evidence for your claims on those points. Most often the problems you point out are not problems with hypnosis itself but of the people carrying out the hypnosis. The big question though is this... if hypnosis and or hypnotherapy is so problematic, why is it at the core of Human Givens? Why do HG practitioners use hypnosis?

Oh dear! not only unprofessional and unsupported by evidence, but discriminatory and derogatory(regarding the reference to "aspergery people") It appears that the dangers of labels and stereotypes are far worse than those of hypnosis. In doing just this, you have reached a new low in the credibility stakes.

Totally uninformed, vague facts. Interestingly he doesn't say or affirm that it doesn't work actually he said it works!! I had great experience with regression help me so much.The problem is he generalized I'll say 90% of people who give this service do their best to be professional, respectful and honorable. So keep in mind. Also high percentage of You Tube videos about Hypnotherapy are positive one or two is like this one, that speak for itself.

It caused my psychosis I would not suggest it to anyone hypnosis is dangerous

Just because there are people listening to him, doesn’t mean what he is saying is correct. Read David Spiegel’s, M.D. research at Stanford.

People who go to counsellors and are regressed to childhood, are given suggestions by counsellors there family abused them, or other horrible things happened? Suggestions that implant these things can be leading questions such as what situation caused you to lack self esteem or saying things like why do you suppose you have this problem now or leading statements such as we normally find people with eating disorders felt unloved as a child! Then the person will think what was it, and remember a situation where they were upset as a child, and start to fabrication or with suggestions of the therapist a whole situation of memories, false memories and after that tears and traumas, issues even court cases of things that never even happened. Or situations that were a small thing, and the person has compounded the problem. Hypnosis is unreliable in recalling memories and any work of regression should be seen as a metaphor or symbolic! Therefore remembering abuse whilst under hypnosis does not mean the person was abused by there teacher or so, it might mean they had a fear about the person, but is not reliable, however it could lead a person to falsely believe abuse occurred that did not happen. The idea of repressed memories and cellular memories is junk science, there is no science of it other than mumbo jumbo quakery, people who do this these "therapists" are abusers they are harming their clients and breaking up families. Where situations have occured the person will have a hard time not to forget! They may well be haunted by the experiences, so as for forgetten memories stored in the body in some hidden secret engaine is nonsense. We should look at things in a logical way! I went to a hypnotist and was regressed had floods of tears, and was starting to create abusive situations, which never happened! I did a mindfulness course and my memories were breaking down I could remember more and more abusive and traumatic situations, which I never had even thought about before. I never remembered them thought of the, the more "therapy" I had the more types of abuse and bullying, traumas, I could remember, and in a way experience during nightmares and even to an extend flashbacks. I was experiencing some sort of PTSD, all cause of people who were not actually helping but doing harm, and taking my money!

Hypnosis teaching about hypnosis

LOL This is a silly video. Hypnotherapy is very effective in the right hands. As you would with any profession, do your research into their qualifications and accreditations.

The presenter might want to READ a few books on this topic from REPUTABLE sources and not the obviously biased and misinformed "sources" that he is evidently relying upon. Confabulation (false memories) can occur easily in the waking state, for example (see Stanford U's work in this area). This presentation is utter B.S. and I do not mean the university degree.

Lol I guess I can't get hypnotized cause I have autism

Hypnosis can be extremely dangerous. I know firsthand because its nearly killed me.

What have said is true but the way and your voice tone makes it sounds so boring and untrue. I'm sorry. I just don't feel you.

The danger is humans. Anyone can behave in the most terrible ways due to the context (social pressures, ideologies, opinions, leadership...). Just look at History - wars, genocide, politics, religions, fanaticism, etc.

Hypnosis is so dangerous its like sending a message to the brain to stop thinking which is extremely unfamiliar with our daily activities.

People who listen to or have listened to this guy needs to walk up and slap the fk out of him for ripping people off and running around telling lies to people for his own selfish gain! What he presents is completely against all the science and research that has been proven. If someone did believe him it’s solely because they didn’t do their own research and prove him wrong…

Mk ultra :v

Eh we get hynozited with looking at wall diver cars subliminal messaging it normal DUDE

I am a certified hypnotherapist and this is simply a bunch of lies.

While many (not all) of these points are valid on some level, this is an oversimplification and misleading.

And who is this guy,is he scientist ,is he on faculty doing brain study to claim such things ? What he does in his life,I assume nothing at all,because he speak garbage..Go and listen people in science of brain on GAIA doctor JOE DISPENZA...You have to always see not what is talking but WHO IS TALKING..

And those who are prone to hypnosis are those who are prone to neuroticism and hysteria!!! A well centered person doesnt allow someone else take charge unless its their spouse or children. Possibly the chief

WHERE ARE THE BLACK PPL SMHHHHH

Bollocks

Very disappointing video. Lots of errors. Human Givens uses a lot ideas from Milton Erickson (one of the greatest hypnotherapists) and uses Guided Imagery in most sessions, which is full of hypnosis techniques. Misleading. Huge amounts of peer reviewed research shows how well hypnosis can work. The presenter just has a gripe with his son, who is a famous hypnotherapist and hypnotherapy trainer.

This whole video is a lie.
