How exactly did they hypnotize you? What tools or methods did they actually use?😕
Carol James said:When I was a kid, I had a close encounter with a car, and the shock left me stuttering. I tried everything under the sun—including going to this one guy (won't name him) who claimed he could "cure" stuttering. Honestly, I can only laugh at myself now while writing this. 🙄
Basically, his whole setup involved cramming about 15 people into a tiny room and telling them they were "lesser" people, or that their kids would end up stuttering too... Among other things, he’d make you stand in front of him while swinging a watch left and right (I know, sounds ridiculous, but it really happened) and "hypnotize" you into believing the stutter was gone. I put quotes around that because while it worked for some, he just ended up yelling at my parents and me because we wouldn't play along. I walked out because staring at a clock and listening to that nonsense made zero sense. His attempt at hypnotizing me failed completely. He’d then bring out someone he supposedly "cured" to perform in front of everyone, and that person would act like the stutter was gone. But here's the kicker: my mom told me she talked to other parents outside, and they said people were actually coming back more frequently. For a while, the stuttering improved, but then it got even worse than before.
So, what's the deal? Clearly, that kind of hypnosis creates some sort of effect—positive or negative—but once that wears off, things can spiral and get way worse.
By the way, I fixed my stutter a different way... I still struggle occasionally, and I can usually tell when a bad couple of days are coming, but it doesn't stop me from living my life. 👍
Anthony Harris14 said:To be honest, I don't know anything about hypnosis from a legitimate medical standpoint. I was just comparing it to homeopathy because, clearly, homeopathy works as a placebo. In my view, homeopathy is just a placebo. I might be wrong, but that's all I know for now. I didn't say actual health issues are caused by low self-esteem, though if you go by the WHO definition of illness, low self-esteem could technically be considered a health problem—but by that logic, there wouldn't be a single healthy soul on this planet, unless they were caught in a fleeting moment of bliss or dreaming.
Kyle Nelson2 said:A buddy and I used to hypnotize people back in the day, and we once sent a girl straight back to a past life. It was wild—she doesn't know a word of English in this life, but she started speaking perfect Cockney like she was some London streetwalker in the 1800s.
Man, if my friend hadn't pulled her out of that state after a week, she might've actually gone back to her old trade for a bit.

Kyle Nelson2 said:The usual routine... just lie down... tell them to relax... you know, that whole bit where you ease into an alpha state and then focus on specific things and all that.
Kyle Nelson2 said:The whole idea is just focusing your awareness on specific body parts, relaxing, stuff like that. You hit that alpha state by level 6 of hypnosis (out of 30).
hehe... anyone want me to hypnotize them??
Kyle Nelson2 :
That’s just plain wrong.
Hypnosis is actually a natural state of mind. If you leave a "client" in that trance, they’re either going to wake up on their own or just drift off to sleep.
dustyranger40 said:Honestly, those things kind of freak me out. Just the thought of someone poking around in my subconscious—brrr... Who knows what they might dig up or wake up? I'd much rather just live in blissful ignorance.
