Hypnosis - Behaviour patterns or Perception?

This little gem came from Jon in answer to a question on a forum. Obvious really but gives huge food for thought (excuse the pun):-) Jane

"When someone is eating onions on stage they are not eating onions. At least not in their reality. So you haven't made them enjoy onions you gave them an apple, or a banana or a kumquat or whatever else they like. So you haven't changed their behaviour at all, you are using their behaviour for apple.

What you have changed is their perception.

Now this is important, hypnosis doesn't change anything. Hypnotists change belief patterns. Behaviour comes from those, it doesn't create them."
