Guys, I am really touched that you are so concerned for me. But let me assure you that a simple world can be a very beautiful, wonderful, colourful place. And I have no hang-ups or belief systems to come between me and the world. I can just enjoy it for what it is. And I do. I relish every minute of it, and every experience it throws up. Its not brown. Its not grey. Its a rainbow.
On a more serious note, John Tudor's post might need a bit of a look. I would share your concerns, John, but the way you expressed them clearly identifies one individual, making your post shakey in terms of defamation law. All the best, Tony.

Accusations like that are dangerous. Guess you can claim a typo error

that's interesting belief system you have Tony. The man whos belief system believes he has no beliefs or hang-ups. (get his wife on here lets find out who the real Tony is)I don't believe that for minute. And believe me I like believing. Because I believe we should choose our beliefs carefully. I think there's a difference between believing and denial. THE WORLD IS WHAT IT IS BECAUSE OF WHAT WE BELIEVE. Would you believe? |

Guys, I don't understand quite how I've been 'got' here. But perhaps I'm thick. It's been suggested before.
But on a more serious issue, John, the guy you are talking about is probably abusing his skills as a hypnotist. Anything can be abused. He will only be brought to book if one of his victims makes a complaint. Then he can be done for either assault or harrassment. You, on the other hand, can be done for libel if you do not amend your original post. It is unlikely that he reads these threads, but if he ever does he has a strong case against you now. that's advice from a former journalist with extensive training in the libel laws. Tony.

What needs amended specifically? The reference to being thrown out of two churches or what? A defrocked minister? Apart from that it could be anyone.

The person who told me he'd ben thrown out of 2 churches checked some recoreds and the "thrown out" part was exaggerated, he seems to have left where he was under some mutual agreement, at least in one case.
So consider it amended.

Guys, in legal terms the truth is NOT a defence against defamation. And you have already rowed back from the statement that he was thrown out of two churches.
Knowing that he is a defrocked minister with an interest in hypnosis and knowing your home town it would only take a matter of minutes for me to get his name. That makes your statement defamatory, and unless you have a good lawyer or you are absolutely certain he will never discover this thread (he has an interest in hypnosis so I would not take that risk) you need to seriously ammend your original post. Maybe you have deep pockets and all this does not matter to you. But please remember Americans are the second most likely people to sue (behind us Irish). All the best, Tony.

It is a shame that someone would attack someone else on rumors. There is no proof to any of these allegations. Only what John has heard (not witnessed). Why ruin someone John when you do not know?

Hello everybody,
I thought this thread is the best for posting my concern. There are so many people out there who make it hard for anyone to learn correctly. hard to decide what is wrong and right about hypnosis. people who make it hard to learn about it. which angle is correct? there are enemies of hypnosis who think hypnosis is too dangerous for someone who did'nt have studied about psychology! it causes pychosis!!! leaves subjects with headache and bad dreams. it changes them. After hypnosis gigs people were different They tell you that hypnosis is a weapon. even in this thread here They say hypnosis is a deep intrusion in someones personality. Hypnotists playing with fire. There are people who believe hypnotizing is a serious crime to human beeing. -------------------------------------------------------------- I want to be responsible for my action. I am getting confused why there is so much negative thinking about it when so much other people try to teach positive about it. I neither interessted in therapy nor then doing age regression. I want the best for my subjects. no therapy, no bad feelings, I try to not support allergies by suggestions, I am into deep thoughts about safty. I try to avoid physical risk. Making them think positive and take away there fears about hypnosis. There are trainers who say that "empty hypnosis" is'nt harmful at all. (Leerhypnose = german - like doing a concentration exercise with someone. then doing a induction and giving positive feelings followed by a wake up progress.) What can go wrong with this one? psychosis? a late nightmare for somebody? whats wrong about a cataleptic arm? I believe that hypnosis is a normal daily experienced state of mind. I am excited about hypnosis and try to stand on the opposite positive site. _______________________________________________________ Just a list of different opinions. Can someone please clarify for me and everybody who met such hypnosis enemies. What to really believe? Everybody is arguing about properness but less are helping others to avoid mistakes. Some may suggest that not learning hypnosis would avoid mistakes. this is not my way of learning. Where is a "effort to avoid mistakes with hypnosis" Thread? Can please someone tell me something about psychosis and it's REAL danger. Why you guys are hypnotizing if every second or third spectator could have a traumatically past, a deep sitting psychosis or at least be neurotic? That's how hypnosis enemies are talking about. what and how to answer? I do not want to harm people by my goodwill of making themself feel good. (for example) sorry for my groggy english! all the best, art |

You will not get a complete clarification on this forum The reason being the majority earn a living doing stage hypnosis so their views are biast. They will tell you it is completely safe when in fact it isn't. Some will tell you to read half a book then go do a show. Some will tell you to buy DVDS. Some will tell you to do training.
My personal view is if you are seriously interested in hypnosis get training full stop. While I do not think it is as dangerous as some suggestions from the psychologists and health professionals who also have their agendas for making those claims - hypnosis is not totally free from danger either. You will find that most on here claim it totally harmless. It is somewhere in between. But that shouldn't deter you from learning. Just learn sensibly and do not take hypnosis lightly. If you have respect for your volunteers or clients then get good training. |

Nothing in the hands of man is totally harmless. Nothing. Seriously.
Now as for what the actual dangers are that is another story. I think th lagest danger by far is someone falling and hurting themself in one way or another. Even from just walking up the stairs unattended. I have seen many hpnotists who could seem to care less about people getting to the stage. Non perminant staging, strange stairs and such. Heck once I saw a persons leg of the chair they were using go through a partition of 2 joined stage sections, joined wrong. So is "hypnosis" dangerous? Well that probably can be debated. Certainly a clever hypnotist knows how to avoid 99% of those dangers. BUT the environment can be quite dangerous. Oh my new favorite is those who somehow think it is dramatic to just let people flop to the stage or drop them right on the stage. Any time they leave the chair to fall on the stage is just bad in my opinion.

I think part of the problem in answering this valid question is because people tend to group a bunch of things together as "hypnosis." For example, people ask, "Will hypnosis help me stop smoking or lose weight?" Many people will answer in the affirmative, but the real answer is no.
Hypnosis, and the induction of hypnosis, have never, in thousands of years of experience, harmed anyone. Period. Full stop. Further, hypnosis and at least one induction of hypnosis can be taught in an hour or less. The important thing--and what makes a good hypnotherapist or good performer--is what you do AFTER a person is hypnotized. Although you cannot physically harm a person with hypnosis (at least there's no record of such a thing), it is possible to put a person is a position where he or she can be harmed physically or mentally. Frankly, this is greatly overstated. People fall down and hurt themselves thousands of times a day. How often does it happen while a person is a participant of a stage show? Rarely. Teachers and parents and religious authorities smash the wills and beliefs of children and adults regularly. How often do hypnotherapists cause any sort of harm to their clients? Rarely. So is harming someone something to be aware of? Yes. Is it something to have a concern for? Yes. Is it something to study and be trained in to avoid or know how to quickly overcome it? I believe so. But is it something to be paranoid about? I do not believe so. Prepare, yes. Be afraid, no. And I agree with MP (gasp!). Get a good training. In fact, take many trainings. |
