I know nothing about it, but I'd imagine that if a subject is more reserved, it would be harder to achieve a hypnosis state.
That's all I got lmao

Still gave it a shot, realistically my knowledge is probably that of a novice at best, but my curiosity falls in line with other psychological interests I have. I've always had an interest in the human mind, whether it be what could go wrong with it, how it could be broken or altered, or just how it works. But yes, the more unwilling a subject, the more difficult a case. However, how resistant someone is depends on the sincerity of their attitude. Some people can put on a strong front that falls flat because they don't quite believe it themselves.

I'm interested in the philosophical aspects of the human mind and body, but that's besides the point. But your statement makes me wonder how exactly emotion plays into hypnosis, like which emotion would be the best to deal with. At first I'd think happy, but when you're happy, you disregard bad things that have happened, and vice versa with being sad. I figure it'd be anger, when you express your feelings the most bluntly, and without preemptive thought

Well, in therapy, hypnosis is usually used to uncover suppressed memories, in which cases the most prevalent emotions that arise are regret, sorrow, anger, or other negative things associated with traumatic occurrences. However, it's also implemented as a method to treat addiction, self-image issues, and other relatively minor psychological afflictions that don't require heavy medications or things such as that to treat. In those cases, the aims are positive, but relatively any emotion can surface because when dealing with a crisis of identity or letting something go, people can become a bit less than predictable. Outside of a professional psychological setting with no particular aims in mind, a typical state of trance would be relatively "blank" or neutral unless something else influenced it to become otherwise.
