How many people looked at a shower curtain completely differently after watching Psycho? Fear is created through the power of the mind, and being on the roller coaster is completely safe by most standards. Despite the safety, many roller coaster passengers become manic and sweat, allow their heart rates to increase, and can even feel terror. If you are a person that dislikes roller coasters, and simply just image yourself on a roller coaster, you may also experience these sam effects. On stage during a hypnosis show, a hypnotist can create the same roller coaster experience through the use of mental imagery, and the subject will feel genuine fear. The words we tell ourselves or the words the hypnotist utilizes can influence or “hypnotize” to believe these unrealistic situations.
