1. A common myth is that a person under hypnosis is out of control. The exact opposite is true. You don't lose control while under hypnosis, but rather take control. It has been discovered that all hypnosis is basically self-hypnosis. The hypnotist is just a guide leading you into a state that you are capable of achieving.
2. Too often, people associate hypnosis with a polygraph or truth serum. With hypnosis you are aware of everything around you. You have the choice to answer or not to answer a question. You also have the ability to tell the truth or fabricate a lie. You are always in control.
3. Myth number three is that only certain people can be hypnotized. In reality, any person with normal intelligence can be easily hypnotized. It has been proven that a strong-willed person actually goes into a hypnotic state quicker than a weak-minded person.
4. In movies we see people who are hypnotized becoming stuck in hypnosis. It is an impossibility to ever be stuck in a hypnotic state. It has never happened, and it will never take place in the future.
