There are huge amounts of scepticism and a significant number of misconceptions around hypnotism – yet evidence would suggest that it has definite effects, practical applications and real-world impact (although there are arguments about whether or how much the placebo effect may be a factor). Regardless, Hypnotism Day aims to tackle misconceptions head-on, explore case studies and educate about modern applications of hypnotism. Have you been hypnotised or have you hypnotised anybody? Any first hand experiences to share?
