DEHYPNOTIZE Meaning and Definition

1. Dehypnotize is a verb that refers to the act of releasing someone from a state of hypnosis or dispelling hypnotic effects. It involves the process of reversing the effects of hypnosis and restoring an individual to their normal state of consciousness. The objective of dehypnotization is to bring the person out of the induced trance or altered mental state that has been created by a hypnotist.

   During dehypnotization, various techniques may be employed to help the individual regain control of their thoughts, emotions, and behavior. These techniques can involve verbal suggestions, deep breathing exercises, visualization, or other methods aimed at breaking the subject's focus and bringing them back to a fully aware state. It is important to note that dehypnotization is typically done with the individual's consent and willingness, as this is crucial for the process to be successful.

In such cases, dehypnotize would refer to the process of freeing the person from the enthralling grip of the captivating concept, allowing them to regain clarity, perspective, and independent thinking.
