Is it true that I can get permanently "stuck" in a hypnotic trance?

John McGrail, C.Ht. (Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist) gives expert video advice on: Is it true that my hypnotherapist has control of me when I am under hypnosis?; Is it true that only weak-minded people can be hypnotized?; Is it true that I can be put under hypnosis without my consent? and more...

People actually, if they are traumatized enough, enter a state that is very similar to hypnosis. The most obvious example of people getting "stuck" in a hypnotic trance would be someone that goes through something like a war zone, a battle fatigue. When the conscious mind is so overwhelmed by something so traumatic that it literally shuts off, they enter what is sort of a catatonic trance-like state. However, in terms of practicality with hypnotherapy in a clinical setting, it is impossible to get "stuck" in a hypnotic trance. I sometimes have clients who come in, who have been in hypnosis for a long time, and what we do is de-hypnotize them because you can become hyper suggestible through a environmental effects like a traumatic experience, but it's very rare to get stuck in a hypnotic state.
