Last Updated: September 16, 2026
Please read this page before you watch, listen, or participate.
This disclaimer and waiver applies to everything we offer: The HYPNOVIDEO™ Show and all live stage performances, HYPNOHELP™ programs, HYPNOPICKLE™ sessions, hypnosis audio and video recordings, Hypnosis On Demand tracks, free audio samples, courses, and one-on-one sessions. By using this website, attending a performance, volunteering on stage, or playing any hypnosis audio or video, you accept everything on this page.
1. Entertainment and Self-Improvement Only
All hypnosis content and performances from HYPNOVIDEO™ Entertainment, LLC and Dominick DeCarlo are provided for entertainment, relaxation, education, and self-improvement purposes only. They are not medical, psychological, or psychiatric treatment. Dominick DeCarlo is not a licensed physician, psychologist, or therapist, and nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition.
Hypnosis is not a substitute for professional care. Keep working with your doctor or mental health provider, and never stop or change medication or treatment because of anything you hear in a recording, watch in a show, or read on this site.
2. Safety Rules: When NOT to Be Hypnotized
Hypnosis is safe for most people when you follow a few simple rules. Do NOT listen to any hypnosis audio or video, participate in any session, or volunteer for any stage show if any of the following apply to you right now:
- Do NOT drive. Never listen to hypnosis audio or video while driving a car, motorcycle, bicycle, boat, or any other vehicle.
- Do NOT operate machinery. Never listen while operating heavy equipment, power tools, factory machinery, or anything else that needs your full attention.
- Do NOT be under the influence. Never use our content while under the influence of alcohol, cannabis, or any drug or substance that impairs your judgment, including prescription medication that causes drowsiness or altered awareness.
- Do NOT use it when alertness matters. Never listen while supervising children, caring for someone who needs you, crossing busy streets, or doing any activity that requires full attention. Sit or lie down somewhere safe and quiet instead.
- Do NOT use it without medical guidance if you have a relevant condition. Hypnosis may not be suitable if you have epilepsy or a seizure disorder, schizophrenia, psychosis, bipolar disorder, dissociative disorders, a severe mental health condition, or certain personality disorders. Ask your healthcare provider first.
- Under 18 needs a parent or guardian. If you are under 18, only use our content with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.
- Do NOT keep listening if you feel unwell. If you feel dizzy, distressed, or uncomfortable at any point, stop the audio or video immediately. If the feeling continues, contact a healthcare professional.
Falling asleep during a session is common and harmless. Still, only listen where it is safe to relax with your eyes closed.
3. Participation Is Voluntary and At Your Own Risk
Your participation in any performance, session, or program is entirely voluntary. You can decline any suggestion, step off stage, or stop listening at any time. You choose to take part, and you do so at your own risk.
You understand and agree that:
- You are solely responsible for your decision to watch, listen, volunteer, or participate.
- You are solely responsible for following the safety rules above and for choosing a safe setting.
- You have disclosed to yourself and accept responsibility for any physical or mental health condition that could make hypnosis inadvisable.
- Results vary from person to person. We make no promise or guarantee that you will experience any particular result.
