If you’ve ever seen a stage show of a hypnotist you may think they make you quack like a duck or bark like a dog.  But the truth is that a hypnotist can’t make you do anything you don’t consciously want to do.  If you wouldn't do something, consciously, in a waking state, you would not be able to do it under hypnosis.  Anything a therapist says that goes against your ethics, morals, and values, would immediately arouse you back to a completely conscious state.  Hypnotherapy is simply a direct way to speak to the unconscious mind, where all the conditioning and programs run.  It works best when both conscious and subconscious mind work together to help you achieve your goals.  In reality hypnosis gives you the ultimate control over your life.
