Can you be hypnotized with a strong or controlled will?

In fact, anyone can be hypnotized, this is because the hypnotic trance is a state of the brain that we know anyway. For example, when we are on the threshold of being awake and asleep, such as falling asleep or waking up. Daydreaming is also a form of hypnosis, as is focusing on something, for example when reading or driving.

It is easy to conclude that only people with a weak will can be hypnotized. But this is absolutely not the case. On the contrary, people with a strong will meet the optimal conditions for hypnosis. This is because they have a very good imagination. This, in turn, enables them to enter hypnosis or trance more quickly. They can better imagine what to expect and have a good ability to relax quickly. The rapid adaptation to a new, still unknown situation also plays a role here.

For hypnosis or trance, your willingness is the absolute basic requirement. No one can hypnotize you against your will, whether you have a very strong or rather weak will. You are completely lucid during hypnosis and are not asleep or unconscious. It is possible for you to intervene, give a signal and end the hypnosis at any time. So you do not need to worry about anything on this point.
