Does hypnosis make me helpless?

During the trance you are not immobilized or paralyzed. You know exactly where you are at all times. You can change your sitting position, scratch yourself, sneeze or cough. You can open your eyes and take yourself out of the trance at any moment. During the trance you can still hear sounds around you, for example the phone ringing.
You can leave the trance and take any action you want if a situation occurs where you wish to.
You stay constantly orientated about time, place and person, you can even have a discussion during the trance.
