Yeah, I can't be hypnotized either, but I know for me it's a trust issue. As much as I liked the therapist, I just don't have the capacity to trust anyone enough to give up control, which in my mind, is what hypnosis entails. I think that also explains why I can't fly. When I go to the dentist, I have to be knocked out because I am unable to 'force myself to hold still while someone does something to me that I find highly unpleasant', even though my dentist is extremely kind and gentle. Strangely, I don't worry that it will hurt, though, I guess because it never has, at least until after the numby stuff wears off.
