The cure is explainable - an authority telling you something about your mental state that changes it is hypnotherapy. It helps to write it out that way. It's just someone suggesting you do something and then you agree to do it. The difference is you don't feel like you agreed.

Recursively, some people occasionally end up with stuck habits from trying hypnosis that they don't "actually want" (ie consciously), and one thing that works to fix this is saying to yourself "that's just my imagination and I can stop if I want to."
