A tip for hypnotists who have self-destructive or emotionally closed off subjects:

While they're under, tell them that you love them (if both of you are comfy with that), that you appreciate them, that you cherish so many different things about them. Have them swim in all of those lovely, genuine feelings in a state where its easier to pass through their walls of self loathing.

I can't claim that it'll help long term or anything, but it does feel very nice, and it does mean a lot.

Fun Hypnotic Ideas #1: Evil Fractionation

This is gonna be a series of ideas I've tried or have thought of that I don't see much elsewhere relating to trance. This is one I have done before many times, and is one of the single most useful techniques I've found.

I'm using the term "Evil Fractionation" because that is what I heard it called the only time I've seen it used outside of me (from a file just called Evil Fractionation that I cannot seem to find).

The idea is simple.

Bring your subject into trance, and have them drop very, very deep down. Do all you can to get them as focused and as deep as you possibly can. Then, set up some form of capturing that state of trance in their mind. I tend to use the idea of a polaroid camera, using the word "Snap!" to act like a flash in their mind and freeze that state of mind for later.

Then, bring up them up, counting from 1 to 10.

Every single number, use the "Snap!" trigger, all the way back up to 10, when you then fully wake them.

Then, after talking with them for a while, or perhaps after they ask what it's for, simply type or say...

8.

They'll instantly drop down to the level of 8, a light trance, due to building the association of that level of trance with that number.

Then, just start calling out numbers, bringing them to whatever level of trance you wish.

7. 5. 8. 9. 6. 4.

Be sure to do small gaps at first, and then start doing bigger jumps to surprise them.

3. 8. 7. 10. 5. 8. 1.

If you enforce this a bit more (it enforces itself by being used honestly), you can use it at any time, and even interweaving it with other induction techniques, dropping them much deeper than before.

However, my favorite part is when you start counting down slowly, slowly, going

5.

4.

3.

2.

1.

And then, when you make them think you're about to bring them back up a bit, go...

0.

-1.

-2.

...to your heart's content.

Though, fair warning, I've accidentally put subjects to actual sleep by going a bit too deep.

You can do this during random conversations, trances, really anything (with express consent from a subject while out of trance, of course).

I might post more of these if this does well, I quite like creative ideas for trance, and I have quite a few. Follow and share if you're interested (though I post a lot of puppy-specific hypnotic posts, fair warning).

Thank you.

Why are so many hypnosis files like "try to resist this trance..."

first off, if we're really testing this, i'm clearly biased

TO ALL HYPNOTISTS OUT THERE:

Put your subject into a trance, and then just start talking to them. Make it feel so easy for them to talk, to feel happy and loved. Set up triggers like Up and Down, so you can tease them a bit the longer it goes. Have times where you bring them very deep down and just keep complimenting them and loving them until they're squirming like a dummy, bring them back up and talk about any light, fun thing they want. Do anything that comes to find, prodding around at their mind and softening it up for more fun ideas later.

I do this with a lot of my puppies and my hypnotist does it with me, and it seems to make the times where I do put them under for a reason much stronger.

Hypnosis with a goal is fun, but letting your subject just exist in that mind space, entirely within your world and your control, is a deeply intimate experience in itself.

A lot of people seem surprised at how effective text hypnosis can be. In my opinion, it's because you need to actually read the words. I have ADHD, and so when I tried listening to audio files, those gaps between lines gave my mind ample to room to wander, but with reading, I always have something to do.

The two downsides to text hypnosis is that you can't close your eyes and that pacing is hard to get across, but I think those can be worked around.

Because I was a subject for 8 years before I ever became a hypnotist, the way I know I'm hypnotizing someone well is if I also start dropping into trance, lmao

I'm hypnotizing myself into hypnotizing someone, and I seem to get better at it the more in trance I am.
