It can't change your personality. It can't make you do something that is outside of your character. The CIA studied the possibility of getting people do something against their will under hypnosis but it was shown not to be possible.



With that said, it can influence your behavior subconsciously. It's been used to stop smoking, lose weight, treat depression, things of that nature. Things where the suggestion of changes in your life are something you can incorporate.



Depending on what you are looking to treat some people find it works after one session others take multiple sessions over months.Can hypnosis change personality - if so, in what way? And how many sessions will it take to do this?
Hypnosis is a heightened state of suggestibility, that's it. It can not cause personality changes or open doors to ghost worlds.
Hi Kurvine,

Hypnosis can change personality in a way that it can stretch you to become more of who you want to be.If a person lacking confidence, becomes more confident, then they have changed in that area, though they are still themselves, just evolved.

There is not real answer to how many sessions, this depends most on the skill of the hypnotherapist.
