Hi A2Z1341234,
Snappy name. No, hypnosis isn't bad, it is a psychological tool. Like most tools it can be used effectively or less so and it can be used for many different things. But it isn't magic and it isn't absolute like the "mind control" seen in cartoons, comics, films and such. It is just another tool. Like most tools, it can be used for bad purposes or good ones and it pays to be aware of this. The same can be said about a hammer, a car or even a computer.
But unlike a hammer, car or computer, hypnosis only uses what the body provides - there are no extra chemicals or forces involved. It is simply a matter of using parts of the brain that we are otherwise too busy to notice. The survival instincts that regulate our behaviour apply just as much here as anywhere else. It is no more dangerous than going outside, talking to people you don't know, driving down a road you haven't driven before, etc.
Isn't this site a bit weird? Yep. People come here for all sorts of reasons and looking for all sorts of things. If those things could be bought in Wal-Mart, then they probably wouldn't come here.
