First off, congratulations on taking steps to deal with your issue. Taking action, any action, gets the wheels turning.

So, what about hypnosis? Well, some people have posted that it’s just deep relaxation, and others have posted that it can be sued to make you do funny things, others said it’s bullshit. Actually they’re all right to a degree.

What hypnosis does is bypass your subconscious mind’s resistance to accepting new suggestions. There are actually many different ways to do that, and even many way to hypnotize, but they all do it with the idea of "bypassing the conscious mind" to help you get past those blocks. The most common way to hypnotize does use a very relaxed state to achieve it’s goal.

Can hypnosis make great changes? Absolutely, but at the same time, it’s not magic. Different approaches work for different people, so it’s also important to find a hypnotist that works well for you. No matter how experienced a hypnotist may be, dealing with the subconscious mind can be a little tricky, and while most people get results almost immediately, it may take several sessions to really put the process in gear. You should begin to get results quickly, though. If you don’t, that particular hypnotist may not be right for you.

Do the recorded programs work–the ones they sell on the internet? Yes, to a degree. Since they’re not tailored to your specific needs, its a bit of a hit or miss affair. But if you’re not familiar with hypnosis, that’s a great, inexpensive way to start. If nothing else, you’ll get a feel for what hypnosis is like. You’ll find it’s not as exotic or unusual as you might have thought.

Is hypnosis dangerous? Generally no. All hypnosis is really self hypnosis–the hypnotist guides you, but you do it. If a hypnotist tells you to do something that doesn’t feel right it’ll "spoil the mood" and you’ll usually come right out of trance. A hypnotist can’t make you do against your nature.

Hope that helped. If you have any more questions, I’m happy to help. You may find some useful info on my sites listed below.

Hypnosis – no – it does virtually nothing but relax to a very deep level

It is hypnotherapy which will help you change. It will reduce shyness, develop confidence. However, for the skills bit, you will need NLP. This because you need to learn a skill it does not just come instantly and NLP has to help gain them.

Umm, no, no it does not do what you claim it could have done. Hypnosis is basically unlocking your unconscious, not your interpersonal skills or motives.

If you wanna get rid of the shyness, acting lessons is good. You are surrounded by a group and get to interact. Sociology is about interacting with a social group than by yourself. You may be a better learner by yourself but may be a difficult learner when surrounded by a peer group. It doesn’t mean that you will be better being alone, it just states that your environment can also affect how you perceive yourself.

But nope, hypnosis does not break the gentic code in personality. I mean, unless you want someone to find out what you did in the past, then go right ahead. But nope, it doesn’t improve any of that.

It could help if you let it. It comes from your sub- consciouse. L read a book on it once and hypnotised my nephew into believing his hands were glued together. He smiled at me as if to say sure jokingly, and then the look of shock horror as he found he couldn’t move them apart till l released his believe. People ‘s nature underneath is to be trusting and if this can be accessed, which is the INNER choice of that person to be open, Then they can also let themselves be helped also with a skilled and trusted only therapist.
l used to be the shyist child, but now l am the opposite ,because somewhere along the line [around 17 yrs old] , l saw that really there arent 100′s of people out there watching your performance, just ONE [ at a time, in different flavours of your self]Seperation of self is a self made illusion that we can grow out of by expanding our understanding of what we really are.[ Not just a body in space]
Hope this doesn’t sound to spacey as l can see how it could do to some] It’s like talking to a mirror to me now.No-thing to be afraid off but self.Good luck with your acting

Charisma, shyness as any other character trait is a result of learning or conditioning. Personality traits are not genetically predetermined as color of our eyes or hair; even though they depend on our type of nervous system that is predetermined by our genetic makeup. We LEARN how to be shy, how to like or hate something or someone, how to afraid of something or someone, how to be successful or not successful, etc. Usually, we learn that during our childhood. These traits, preferences, likes and dislikes are very strong and stable.

However, they are just products of conditioning. ANYTHING we were conditioned to, can be reconditioned. Hypnosis may be very helpful with that if you find a highly qualified hypnotist. It is not a simple task.

You, probably, will not achieve your goals with a hypnotist who will try to have you relaxed, sleepy, etc. You will need someone who can do that without relaxation or sleep induction, even though this approach can be useful sometimes but can take too much time. A good hypnotist will correct or develop new personality traits when you are awake and, at the same time, in a deep hypnotic trance.

By the way, hypnosis is not the only technique that deals with conditioning and reconditioning, but it is the most traditional method.

Therefore, the answer to your first question is : Yes, hypnosis can make you less shy, etc. To answer you second question "How?", I would refer you to books or professionals who know how to do that. As I have mentioned – it is not easy task to find such a professional. But, do not be disappointed, if you take acting lessons, they really can be helpful in correcting your personality traits if you try to put your acting skills into real life situations.
