Of course Bill, the same thing happens when patients are told the fact that "all hypnosis is self-hypnosis".

PNEUMATHERAPY--THE ART OF SELF HYPNOSIS
This is why I tell pneuma~self~therapy patients who come to see me: By careful exploration of hypnosis decades ago, I got to know a few things about the art of stage hypnosis. Therefore, like Dr. Milton Erickson, I make no claim to be anyone's master. And patients are not here to be my subject--the kind depicted in the movie (1931), Trilby (the subject), which starred John Barrymore as Svengali (the master). Think of me simply as a teacher and that you are a student.
