Hypnotic Phenomena

Hypnotic phenomena refer to the various responses and experiences that occur when a person is in a hypnotic state. These include changes in perception, memory, or sensation—such as feeling detached from surroundings, experiencing altered senses, or having suppressed memories. During hypnosis, the mind becomes more receptive to suggestions, allowing for focused attention and heightened imagination. These phenomena demonstrate the brain’s flexibility and how consciousness can be altered temporarily. They are utilized in therapy, entertainment, and research to explore and understand the mind’s potential and processes.
