Stage Hypnosis - Is It Hypnosis?

Is the hypnosis used in psychotherapy the same kind as the one used on stage? Will I let my patients float into the thin air? Will I make them go around and bark? Some of my patients, who didn't know hypnosis asked me these questions. These are very sensible questions regarding the fact that many people only know hypnosis from what they have seen on TV or in movies.kids babies baby child
