Would I be asked to do something against my will?

No! This would be the most common misunderstanding associated with hypnosis. This is probably tied in with another misconception that the hypnotherapist has control over the client. This is not the case. People will not do or say anything under hypnosis that they would not do normally. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis – you cannot be hypnotised against your will. This fear probably comes from the TV shows and performances by stage hypnotists.
