Do you talk during hypnotherapy?

Roy Hunter, author and master hypnotherapist inducted into the Hypnosis Hall of Fame for his significant contributions to the hypnotherapy industry, has a very extensive (and long) set of FAQs on his web site. These are also the FAQs for the alt.hypnosis newsgroup.
What is hyphypnotherapy and how does it work?
Hypnotherapy is the process of using hypnosis to interact with the subconscious mind in an open-reflective process to create positive change in your life.
Is it possible for a person to be hypnotized by hypnosis?
No. Hypnosis is nothing but a state of relaxed deep focus. A hypnotized person always has control and can always hear what’s going on. It is a natural state that you enter at least twice a day (while waking up and while falling asleep!) and probably much more often than that.
What is the value of hypnosis?
Researchers also study the value of hypnosis in the treatment of physical and psychological conditions. Hypnotherapy has proved effective with phobias, anesthesia, and especially attitude behavior modifications.
