Absolutely not fake. I dabbled in hypnotism when I was a young man. It's a lot of work. You have to be a good story teller and paint a picture with words. I used to use it to help people overcome some of their fears and also in a few cases to help people who were trying to quit smoking.
My spanish friend, who is a psychologist, although she has never learned hypnotism, she seems to be very good at hypnotising men....... somehow. When they are in her presence, they seem to be in a trance"
Yes, they do look somewhere lower but... her eyes have also a hypnotic effect - and her lips too!
Although she loves the attention she´s getting, she says she wonders why she keeps attracting the "wrong" sort of men???
Yes, I can imagine that it must complicate her patient-doctor relationships, but not her private ones. Why does she refer to these men as 'the wrong sort'? Surely most women desire to be desired?
Being honest with yourself makes it a fake. The suggestibility is based on not knowing or accepting what your true intentions are in general. The placebo effect emerges from self-unawareness.
