Is it possible to be hypnotized to have an imagination hypnotherapist at your disposal anytime, anyplace as reference? A complete mind manifestation using your subconscious to guide you right to where you have an interpersonal connection one on one. An entirely vivid hallucination there to assist you.

It is possible, but doing so could have a downside. It's analogous
to imagining a dentist at a time of having a toothache or a surgeon at
a time of apendacitis. The imaginary presence can't do dental work or
surgery. However, a more useful imaginative reference, for some, might be the
presence of an inner advisor capable of connecting a person to needed and
helpful inner resources. There are many archetypes that people do employ
for such purposes (angels, saints, etc.) I've had clients say that they've
imagined my voice at various times outside of my office. (Their doing so
reminds me of the title of the Erickson based work, "My Voice Will Go With You.")
Despite these types of imaginings, I believe I can be of better help
with real, rather than imagined interactions with them.
By the way Curious, I enjoyed your question and appreciate your curiosity.

To an extent, yes.
But sometimes you need guidance beyond your own mind.
Perhaps knowledge you have not yourself learned yet.

What a fascinating question.
Imagine having an inner Bandler or Erickson.
Many already will, to some extent, but as others suggest, limitations will exist.

YES an excellent notion if you choose to take a course in self hypnosis first, so as to be conversant with what it can do, and how to use it. Otherwise it is called a concience, and we all have one already. terry
