Many notable people have used hypnosis to enhance their lives, and of course. Top athletes(click here) have used hypnosis for years to improve their performance.
Here is a list of a few people that you may have heard about:
The actor, Kevin Costner became seasick while making "Waterworld". His regular hypnotherapist came to the filming location and helped Costner overcome the problem.
Orlando Bloom, actor, was so obsessed with chocolate as a child, his mother called in a hypnotist to help him.

Jackie Kennedy Onassis used hypnotherapy to deal with the tragic events in her life.
Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965) used post-hypnotic suggestions in order to stay awake all night and avoid tiredness during W.W.II.
Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud developed modern psychiatry as a result of learning about and practicing hypnosis.
Hollywood actor Aaron Eckhart has credited hypnosis with changing his life forever after he used the practice to give up smoking and alcohol.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-92) repeated names to himself like a hypnotic mantra in order to access different states of consciousness in which whole poems came to him.
Mozart (1756-91) composed the opera Cosi fan tutte while in hypnosis.
Goethe (1749-1832) writer and scientist
Chopin (1810-1849) pianist and composer took classes in hypnosis at the University of Strasbourg.
Thomas Edison (1847-1931) inventor.
Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) inventor.
Henry Ford (1863-1947) car manufacturer.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955) physicist.
Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) used trance-like states to explore the nature of consciousness.
Andy Bryant, hair care consultant, hit the headlines when he underwent a vasectomy under hypnosis without anaesthetic and, immediately after the operation, went back to work.
Paul Daniels, magician, lost his fear of closed spaces after hypnotherapy.
Rachmaninov (1873-1943). First Symphony was a total failure: The critics were vicious. Rachmaninoff struggled unsuccessfully to continue composing, and finally stopped trying altogether. He sank into a deep depression which lasted for three years.
"Something within me snapped," he said. "All my self-confidence broke down.... A paralyzing apathy possessed me. I did nothing at all and found no pleasure in anything. Half my days were spent on a couch sighing over my ruined life. My only occupation consisted in giving a few piano lessons in order to keep myself alive."
Finally, Rachmaninoff went to see Dr. Nicolai Dahl, who happened to be a pioneer in the field of hypnosis. Dr. Dahl was gaining a reputation for successfully curing people through autosuggestion, and had devoted his career to this work. Rachmaninoff, in his Recollections, described the scenario:
"My relatives had informed Dr. Dahl that he must by all means cure me of my apathetic condition and bring about such results that I would again be able to compose.
"Dr. Dahl had inquired what kind of composition was required of me, and he was informed, 'a concerto for pianoforte,' for I had promised this to people in London and had given up in despair the idea of writing it.
"In consequence, I heard repeated day after day the same hypnotic formula, as I lay half asleep in an armchair in Dr. Dahl's study: 'You will start to compose a concerto - You will work with the greatest of ease - The composition will be of excellent quality.' It was always the same, without interruption.
"Although it may sound impossible to believe, this treatment really helped me. I began to compose at the beginning of the summer. The material grew in volume, and new musical ideas began to well up within me, many more than I needed for my concerto....
"I felt that Dr. Dahl's treatment had strengthened my nervous system to a degree almost miraculous. Out of gratitude I dedicated my Second Concerto to him."
It has been 100 years since Rachmaninoff composed his Second Piano Concerto, and today, thanks to hypnosis, it remains one of the most exquisite and deeply moving pieces of music ever written.
