Why are people so quick to recommend hypnotherapy to other people for everything? Most people that seek help from a professional for mental issues are very vulnerable. Why then go to somebody that you don’t know or trust and let them have complete control of your mind? Other than using it for quiting smoking or losing weight, why do it?
I know hypnotherapy doesn’t give anyone complete control of your mind. I don’t know why I even added that sentence. The reason I ask this is because I’ve seen on here a lot of people recommend hypnotherapy for everything. I”ve even seen someone suggest that a hypnotherapist may even be able to help find deep buried memories. Which is the opposite of what hypnotherapist are suppose to do.

Hypnotherapy will not give anyone complete control of your mind. I think you need to do more research into what it actually is.
It won’t give some one “control of your mind” but hypnosis does leave you very open to suggestion (which is why it sometimes works) and eager to please. That is why there have been cases of false memories being created by hypnosis. On the other hand, some people claim it has helped them, so I suppose, like anything else, it is just a matter of personal choice.
