At no time are you not in control or not able to return to a waking state if you so wish. You cannot be made to do anything that you would not normally do, or carry out a post-hypnotic suggestion that is in conflict with your own values and beliefs.

Hypnosis is a means to harness the power of the sub-conscious mind to overcome fears and difficulties and enhance your own willpower.
