So, can hypnosis help you feel no pain? And the answer to that is yes. In 2008, there was this guy named Alex Lenke, and he self-hypnotized himself in just 30 seconds. Then these surgeons, they used a chisel and a hammer on his hand. This guy felt absolutely zero pain whatsoever. So it's been used in the hospital sort of setting. And also there are experiments, you can look them up, where hypnotists, they'll go work with tattoo parlors, and they'll have the person getting the tattoo imagine they feel no pain, and it actually works. So there's that application as well, and then there's also the concept of using hypnosis to help women giving birth feel a lot less pain too. This is very well documented, so check that stuff out.
