No one can force you to do something that you don't want to do. A stage show hypnotist has been trained to recognize and call upon the people who are willing participants. That means they really want to be part of the show. If they didn't, the hypnotist would never ask for their participation because the show would be compromised. In a therapeutic setting, the focus is on helping the client to overcome obstacles that stop him from reaching his goals and teaching new skills that replace old, unwanted or destructive patterns.
