People sometimes wonder if they can be addicted. Incredible, but true - there are professional psychologists and hypnotherapists today who still seem to believe that only a certain percentage of people can be relaxed, and that is what they teach through their books, courses, websites and seminars. The root of these erroneous ideas may be traced to a few measures of addiction. Two of the most popular are the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scales (created 1959) and the Harvard Group Scales (created 1962). Based on the experiments performed, researchers involved in the creation of these addictive hypotheses have concluded that 5% of the population is insomniac and that only about 10% can experience deep trance events such as hearing and sight, as well as the ability to stay deep in addiction.

If you are unfamiliar with hypnotic phenomena, hallucinations may be "good ideas" - in case you see something that is not a real thing of agreement; or "hallucination negative" - if you do not see something that may be in front of you. And it is good to remember that we often see what we expect to see. It works in the same way with the senses of hearing, which occurs when what you hear mentally differs from the reality of harmony.
Now I would like to ask you a question: Have you ever had to look for something, perhaps car keys, that were in front of you, but did not find them? That is an example of a deep trance phenomenon called "hallucination negative". Of course, if you were looking for the keys, your eyes would be wide open, and by these standards of mindfulness, you had a very deep impression. Do you feel like you are in a deep mind?
Or you may have had the experience of someone calling your name, but you happened to be so preoccupied with other thoughts that you never heard anyone call you. It often happens to children. They become so obsessed with the game of "let's pretend to be games" that for some time they lose sight of the outside world, or rather the outside world becomes part of their reality. And that is hypnosis.
Let's look at a few more addictions:
Distortion of Time - you experience a distortion of time when you experience the passage of time as if time is slower or faster than agreed time. Somehow, because it takes less time to think about an action than we do, you can accomplish a lot in your mind in less time, and then it can take us to do the physical action. You can be anything in your mind in an instant, and you can achieve anything in your mind in an instant.
We’ve all had it when time seems to drag or fly. If you just sit near a pot and wait for boiling water or wait in line at a bank or post office, it may seem like time is running out. And when you are very busy, or you have a lot of fun, and you focus on something you do not really want to end, it may seem like time is running out, and you wonder where we are going?
Amnesia (forgetfulness) is another form of addiction. Has it ever occurred to you that you did something or said something or that someone else told you something and then forgot - even if the action happened a minute ago, in the middle of a conversation you had? This happens naturally when, immediately after the action is taken, you switch to something unrelated. Your mind suddenly overshadows another topic and forgets what just happened.
When hypnotists seek to create amnesia of what happened during a session, using a form of hypnosis, they use the same natural process. Before you can fully return to your normal consciousness, they shift your focus to something else, and you forget what just happened.
If you pay attention to the experience in your daily life, you will know all kinds of natural hypnotic events - even catalepsy. Catalepsy occurs when part of the body pretends to be frozen in the atmosphere, is stiff, usually in an abnormal state, and for some time you may not even know that part of the body. Perhaps at one point you were so preoccupied with the thought that you began to focus on the outside world, wondering if your arm was floating in front of you or if you were just sitting in a certain position, perhaps lifting it toward it. Your face and you did not pay attention even when it happened.
And maybe you've had an experience when you went to another room, looking for something, but on the way to the room, your thoughts changed to something else, and by the time you got to the room, you couldn't remember what it was. Did you do it there? By now, you may be beginning to see that all of these different forms of addiction involve some form of mental disorder - it is possible that your body is doing one thing, you just make a plan of your thinking to take some action, and your mind may be thinking. On the other. If you are a psychologist elsewhere, you just do not know what is happening to your body, and you are experiencing all sorts of hypnotic phenomena.
Analgesia and anesthesia are two additional addictions. Maybe there was a time when you had a headache or felt some pain and then something happened that caught your attention - maybe you had an interesting phone conversation or watched an interesting movie, maybe a joke on television - and for a long time you were not in pain at all. You did not even know it at all in your body - and your eyes were always open.
There are many other cases of addiction, and the point I want to make is simply to point out that almost everything people can get when they are addicted by professional hypnotists when they are in a place called deep states of hypnosis.
