  1. A friend would not eliminate the risk of a placebo. That is in fact the problem with hypnosis in general. In is not testable in any scientific way.   There is a reason no real doctor will recommend hypnosis .

    However, the power of suggestion is powerful.  you believe you are a pony, because you are told that you are one. Nothing really scientific happens.

    Scientific or not, it doesn't change what you believe and feel. The Placebo effect, unless I'm wrong, means that one takes a medicine, for example, that actually does nothing. However, even though the medicine does nothing, the person believes it does, therefore, in some cases, causing the effect the medicine would have had to actually happen, albeit in a smaller way. So, even if this hypnosis thing doesn't really 'alter my personality', I believe it might.. So let's just see what happens. Maybe I will feel like a pony. Wouldn't that be awesome?
