Come and gather to discuss the phenomenon known as hypnosis!

Discussion on all methods are welcome, along with all things psychology. Many of the posts might delve into Magic(k), Fiction, and seemingly common human interaction, but they are all part of hypnosis as a whole. Lets keep the flames doused with the cool, clear, water of respect.

This is a young group, and still growing! Come join!

I have provided some links below as a starting point, they are not the best, nor the worst, just the ones i happened to have in my bookmarks relating to hypnosis and the like. Many/most of the links are commercial sites. In other words they may be trying to sell you somthing. I neither endorse nor encurage any particular site. Please feel free to suggest links to be added or removed. This is YOUR community, I am here only to keep things organized and to answer questions, spark debate, and seek new answers.

Here are some informative Links:

And the proverbial "bottom of the barrel", Links that provide misleading, misunderstood or just plain wrong ideas on the subject. Many of these seem to be radical fundamentalist christians equating hypnosis with mind-control and cult abuse. I provide these links to give some sort of balance, and to show you the kind of attitudes still heald by many people.
