Alright so the title might sound a little cheesy, but if you have a minute I'l explain it further.
I am a 16 year old Norwegian boy, I see myself as brigter than most and a hell of a mathematician. My entire life I've been interested in the mysteries of the human mind and it's secrets. I was facinated at how certain actions of mine would induce actions from other people, and they would always be the same. This might sound like the thoughts of a madly manipulative child, wich I was, but as I grew my facination at how it worked grew with me and it wasn't long ago that I found out how closely related my interest in the human mind was to hypnosis (something I had thought of as silly and artistic before)
Today after spending well 5 hours straight reading till I thought my head would explode I confronted my parents about how I could gain knowledge from actual professionals. Their answer astounded me, they blindly refused me to learn hypnosis, thinking I was still the young boy wanting to "play with peoples heads" disregarding the consequences. They refused to support me in any way with my quest for knowledge. They said that only doctors and psychiatrists had any use of such a "tool" and since I was neither and would probably end up an engineer I had no use of it.
tl;dr: I'm young, I crave for an understanding of hypnosis and my parents refuse to support me.
So I have a few questions for those of you with the answers:
Why did you learn hypnosis? Was if because you needed it as a tool for the job? Or out of sheer curiosity?
If any of you are familiar with the nordic countries perhaps Norway in particular, is there any decent courses I could take?
What do you think of the reaction of my parents? Am I simply being a child not seeing the futility of this?
Is there any way for someone like me to satishfy my needs of knowledge?
