Students enrolled in psychology at Smithtown High School West were in a different “state” of mind when hypnotist David Lawrence visited Wednesday. Since students learned about hypnosis from the class curriculum, it was only fitting that Mr. Lawrence successfully hypnotized several students who engaged in various activities on stage.
Hypnosis is a state of altered consciousness where a person is more open to suggestion and in a deeper state of relaxation.
(It’s the only time sleeping in class is allowed)
