I kinda wanted to give this a try. In my collegiate days, a psych prof of mine hypnotized me and told me I was very **suggestible** , but it has been so long ago that I don’t know if it actually “took” or not.

What is y’all’s opinion? Can it work? Know of anyone that tried it with success?

Thanks
