Can a person really be hypnotized?

Asked by Skaggfacemutt (9820points) November 29th, 2011

I have heard a lot about people who have lost weight or stopped smoking by being hypnotized. I just can’t fathom going into a trance-like state from just being talked to. I am pretty certain that no one could knock me out just from suggestion. Does it really work, or does the subject want it to work so badly that they imagine that it worked?
