Hypnotism is a technique that uses psychological suggestion to communicate with the recipient's subconscious, because the human subconscious will be less suspicious and resistant to external information, so the practitioner will replace the recipient's original negative information (also known as experience, such as anxiety, fear, depression) with some positive hypnotic suggestion (also known as information, such as confidence, courage, and dignity), so that the recipient can produce a different state from the original, which comes from the name of the god of sleep --- Hypnos in Greek mythology.

To put it simply: hypnosis is: the technique of communicating using psychological suggestion.

To put it more complexly: hypnosis is: the act of bypassing the surface consciousness and entering the subconscious mind to input language or body language.

Academic definition: hypnosis is a psychological suggestion behavior, the practitioner through language, sound, movement, eye psychological suggestion in the recipient's subconscious input information, change their thinking mode and behavior mode, the recipient can close the eyes or do not need to close the eyes, and even unconsciously accept the hypnotist's psychological suggestion.

Hypnosis was originally used in psychotherapy, but in recent decades, hypnosis has begun to involve more fields, such as medical anesthesia, marriage, education, sports, workplace, police and performing arts.

In the eyes of some people who are not familiar with hypnotism, it may be considered very mysterious, similar to a kind of "witchcraft" or "magic". In fact, hypnotism was developed in ancient witchcraft. The hypnotic state is a state of mind that resembles sleep and is not sleepy. Hypnosis is a kind of psychological suggestion technique that uses psychological suggestion and other means to make the hypnotized person enter the hypnotic state, which includes methods such as relaxation, monotonous stimulation, concentration of attention, imagination, etc., to induce people into a hypnotic state.

Whether at home or abroad, there are many records similar to hypnosis in ancient times, but because the science was not developed at that time, their hypnosis was more inclined to theology, with a certain superstitious color, until the eighteenth century Dr. Mesmarck of Austria created a precedent for hypnotic treatment with the psychological suggestion technique of "animal magnetism". But his theories are also unscientific, and still have theological and religious overtones.

Braid, a famous surgeon in country Y, used scientific theories to confirm that hypnosis is a state similar to sleep, and called this method of bringing people into a state between wakefulness and sleep as hypnosis.

There are two basic forms of hypnosis, that is, "paternal hypnosis" and "maternal hypnosis". "Paternal hypnosis" is the giving of instructions in a commanding tone that makes you feel irresistible and have to surrender. In the process of hypnosis, different hypnosis methods are often used according to different objects, or the same object at different times, places, and conditions. The so-called "maternal hypnosis" is to use warmth to break through the psychological defense line of the recipient, which is also a kind of soft offensive.

Not all people can be hypnotized, and the degree of hypnosis will vary, which is mainly based on two conditions, one is that the quality and skills of the hypnotist should be high, and the other is the situation of the hypnotized person. If the hypnotized person is highly suggestive and trusts hypnosis, hypnosis can be performed.

Doctors successfully used hypnosis as an anesthetic, and even for amputation, until the discovery of an anesthetic for **, which was not abandoned.

In ancient times, some rituals in religion, such as "Dancing God", all contained hypnotic ingredients, but at that time they were mostly used to deceive or a superstitious activity.

With the development of modern science and technology, people have made efforts to explore the mystery of hypnotism, so that it is constantly scientific and systematic, so it has attracted more and more attention. Psychologists have found that hypnosis is the key to opening people's hearts, it can give people wisdom and enlightenment, and most importantly, as a psychotherapy technique, it can make many incurable diseases recover as before, so that anxiety and depression are fleeting, so as to experience the warmth and joy of life. Thousands of years of practice have proved that hypnosis has a certain application value in psychotherapy.

Unfortunately, hypnotism has long been mastered by religious clergy and used by some charlatans, which has tarnished its reputation and been criticized.

Hypnosis causes the subject's thinking to degenerate to a certain childish stage, losing the control that normal waking possesses, and falling into a more primitive way of thinking, so that he acts on impulse and produces fantasies and hallucinations.

It is thought that the subject was induced by the hypnotist to play another role overcooperatively. The subject's expectations of the role and situational factors caused them to perform certain actions in a highly cooperative manner. But many scholars insist that hypnosis is another state of consciousness, not role-playing, because even the most cooperative subjects will not agree to surgery without anesthetic.

Hypnosis separates the subject's mental processes into two (or more) simultaneous shunts. The first shunt is the conscious activity experienced by the subject, which may be distorted in nature; The second diversion is the subject's imperceptible, masked conscious activity, but its nature is more real, which Hilgard calls the "covert observer". Consciousness separation is a normal experience that often occurs in life, for example, a person who drives a long distance has some reactions to road conditions but cannot recall them, because the consciousness at that time is clearly separated into two parts: driving the car and personal thinking.
