It was very interesting to see how Hypnosis became bigger over time and how it all started. There were a few names mentioned that I knew of things they did in life, but none relating to Hypnosis; makes me wonder why they didn’t teach this part in high school history classes.

I found it amazing everything i learned. I love to know that hypnosis was something that was discovered in a time where there was no technology or information about this topic, just them understanding their own mind a true connection was developed. Something that is so hard to do in modern times because of all the distractions. And also all changes and development throughout history is amazing.
