Term: Stage Hypnosis

DEFINITIONS

Stage Hypnosis: The use of hypnosis (or an imitation of hypnosis) for the purpose of entertainment. Although there are some similarities with the professional use of hypnosis to help people make changes in their lives, the differences far outweigh the similarities and have given many people a completely false impression as to the nature of hypnosis and hypnotherapy. As a result, hypnotherapists need to spend time with clients explaining the myths that surround hypnosis as a result of such shows.
