Andrea Pibiri replied to Farzana's discussion Can a person in hypnosis laugh at a joke?"Hi Farzana,
I never get a point to say a joke to a patient.
For sure a patient in hypnosis can smile, like any other emotions that can arise from remembering. If the memory is very pleasant, the patient will have smile beautifully, but it never…"
Funda Kahn replied to Farzana's discussion Can a person in hypnosis laugh at a joke?"Hello Farzana,
Laughter is the best tool that a hypnotist can use for "fears" or "phobias". When you insert humor in the subconscious, fear disappears. When they start laughing to their reaction to the "fear factor",…"
docregal.com replied to Farzana's discussion Can a person in hypnosis laugh at a joke?"Susan, regarding your question on delineating the terms "subconscious" and "conscious" it helps to reference brain states. The mind is always active 24/7. Typical conscious awareness (alertness, concentration, cognition) is beta,…"
Susan French replied to Farzana's discussion Can a person in hypnosis laugh at a joke?"Well, since one can laugh in one's sleep (yes, guilty...better than snoring though), and also sing in one's sleep as well as talk, I would imagine hypnosis is the same.
If someone could actually define "conscious" and…"
"I laugh a lot when I'm hypnotized. My hypnotherapist talks really funny. (I should point that out to him...I'm sure he'd appreciate the feedback.)
But then again, I never "feel" hypnotized, even when I am. I laugh all the…"
Michael Ellner replied to Farzana's discussion Can a person in hypnosis laugh at a joke?"Okay Farzana --
Folks who are deeply entranced will find the follow 5X times as funny as people in light trances.

James Hazlerig - HypnosisAustin replied to Farzana's discussion Can a person in hypnosis laugh at a joke?"Laughing at a joke happens only when we suspend disbelief, in other words, when we bypass the critical faculty.
Making people laugh in hypnosis is a standard part of many hypnosis shows. Jame Szeles actually tells his trancers that they will laugh…"
Kelley Woods replied to Farzana's discussion Can a person in hypnosis laugh at a joke?"Since the power of our work lies in teaching our clients to experience enhanced states, I designate the state of good humor a hghly desired one.

Charlene J Black replied to Farzana's discussion Can a person in hypnosis laugh at a joke?"My experience is solely academic thus far...but...it was drilled in that WHEN EMOTION IS PRESENT, THE SUBCONSCIOUS IS OPEN. Authentic glee or laughter would be an emotion, would it not?"
Susan Diane Whitney replied to Farzana's discussion Can a person in hypnosis laugh at a joke?"One of the first people I practised on when I first qualified went into fits of giggles, which was most disconcerting for me, it has since transpire that this for this particular person giggles when entering trance, loves being in trance, and is now…"
docregal.com replied to Farzana's discussion Can a person in hypnosis laugh at a joke?"The root of the emotion that drives the behavior is below consciousness, however expectation and prediction are conscious anticipatory acts that can predetermine whether laughter will result."

Jonathan Chase replied to Farzana's discussion Can a person in hypnosis laugh at a joke?"It's complete rubbish Farzana.
The conscious brain has no process to handle the ridiculous or funny or anything emotional or illogical. You were probably talking to a relaxotherapist as any real hypnotist can get people to do anything they…"
Michael Ellner replied to Farzana's discussion Can a person in hypnosis laugh at a joke?"Hello Faizana-
Trust your gut and direct experience -- "Hypnotic" phenom has been demonstrated by highly suggestible people who were not conventionally hypnotized, let alone in so-called somnambulistic states.
Warmest regards,
Michael E."
