A. No! You will not lose control over yourself during hypnosis. In fact, the only way you can go into hypnosis during a hypnotherapy session is by choosing to do so. You cannot be hypnotized against your will. And you can choose to come out of hypnosis at any moment simply by opening your eyes. The hypnotherapist does not exercise control over a client, and she cannot make you do anything you don’t want to do. Hypnotherapy is about you learning to have control over yourself - your own thoughts, reactions, and behaviors.
