The simple answer is no, especially if you do not want to be hypnotized. However, studies have shown that approximately 15% of the population can be hypnotized very easily, 15% are unhypnotizable, while the remaining 70% fall in between.
Now what makes this research interesting is that it overthrows a popular misconception, because it shows that the more creative and intelligent a person is, the easier it is to hypnotize them. And here the key word is "easier" because those who fall in between these two extremes can still be hypnotized. It just takes more work on the part of the hypnotist.
The other interesting thing is that the ability to enter into a state of hypnosis is like a muscle. The more you train and work on accessing this state, the deeper you will go.
Now the only real way to know for certain how deep you can go into trance is to book an appointment with a hypnotist who has the right background and training to deal with your specific concerns.
