At least this is what I experienced. I don't know if there are different techniques and if they cause different effects, but I believe you always remain in control of everything while you're hypnotized. This is how my psychologist explained it to me when we tried it.

Hypnosis is like described above, your in control, and all it pretty much does is gives you sugestions to follow, and puts you in a great mood so you want to accept the sugestions and really put forth the effort to achive what it is that you want to.
I use hypnosis often, I have some self hypnosis mp3's that I listen to and they really help, but it is all within reason.
The hypnosis that I use, I have a few different ones for sleeping, some for relaxing, and one for exercise motivation. I think they really work for me, the sleeping and relaxing one pretty much just get you in a nice relaxed state by doing stuff like picturing your on a beach, or relaxing certain body parts at a time. The one for exercise motivation just just has you picturing the results of your training and winning and stuff so your all pumped up to get out and exercise.
There is nothing odd about it, it is not like what you see on tv and it works and is not to complicated, just dont expect it to do miracles
