Health and Happiness with Hypnosis Day 2022

Though I'm not the total skeptic, I remain skeptical regarding the efficacy of certain treatment modalities others promote as supposedly main stream.

One of these is hypnosis.

I say this because I am one who cannot be hypnotized. The various failed attempts have all reinforced my disdain for hypnotherapy as it is called; which I view as a subterfuge to be used upon the weak by various shysters here and there to gain some end result.

Though it is not mine to demonstrate or rant regarding those things I view as the purview of the charletain ... I'm afraid hypnosis resides in this realm as far as I am concerned.

Hypnosis may be defined as inducing a state of consciousness in which a person apparently loses the power of voluntary action and is highly responsive to suggestion or direction.

Supposedly, this allows it's use in therapy, typically to recover suppressed memories or to allow modification of behavior by suggestion. Though in use and touted by some, it remains controversial.

Far be it from me to run from a controversial opinion myself.

Health and Happiness with Hypnosis Day is observed annually each July 25th allegedly to increase the supposed awareness some benefit from hypnotherapy on health and happiness.

Sorry, but if you believe this you are a mental weakling in my humble opinion.

I will admit that I could be wrong. I just don't think so. Perhaps the "action" of hypnosis is subject specific and cannot be applied universally. In any case I'm not much of a believer in the abilities of hypnotists.

Health and Happiness with Hypnosis Day anyway.
