Article: "Objectification and Passive Suggestions" Objects don't move. Objects don't think. We can use the framing of objectification to create extremely potent trances -- using suggestions that allow a person to succeed by being passive, like an object. www.patreon.com/posts/151811...

You can talk about all sorts of techniques and concepts that are meant to increase suggestibility in hypnosis, but the thing that makes a person most suggestible is when they really feel like they are allowed to respond completely naturally without filtering or worrying about "getting it right."

Will it ruin my mystique if this hypno musings account just suddenly turns into fawning affection for The Pitt?

Being into hypno kink is just an infinite Matryoshka doll of "Hypno is fake" inside "Hypno is real," alternating between them as fast as you can until you finally reach a state of quantum superposition.

TWO HYP CHICKS PODCAST S2E3 Types of Utilization and Charmed '26 Recap 10 minutes talking highlights from Charmed, and a cool little 10 minute exploration on a few definitions of "utilization" -- my #1 concept for hypnosis (from Erickson)! twohypchicks.simplecast.com/episodes/typ...

Working on my class for Charmed next week and I present this slide, with 0 context:

"Those damn sexy catboys are taking back their toys and using them to further their control over your minds!" Thanks @xlyph.bsky.social!!! I'm over the moon with how my commission turned out.

Here's to a year of better, deeper, and more profound hypnosis

Nothing like a week without privacy to make you eager to melt some minds and wash some brains.

I'm a sucker for fun hypno pranks. One of my favorites is putting a volume dial on folks, which tends to be especially satisfying for the brats.

We're very lucky to get so much unique stuff out of virtual and video hypnosis but I have to say that physically feeling my sweetie's finger pressing into my forehead and dropping me deep is just like. The best. So many years of hypnosis experience and a simple trance trigger does not get old

"I asked chatgpt--" Shut the fuck up. I asked the Lady of the Lake, and she said you are unworthy of the sword Excalibur. You will never be king.

Had a wonderful #hypnokink discussion with a friend about ✨internal experience✨. Since tists aren't mind readers, we can never really tell what's going on in a partner's head. Sure, there are signs and we can debrief later, but for most people...

Every time I hear Michael Buble's "Santa Buddy," I just want to shake him and say that you don't get to no-homo findom Santa. If the internet has taught me anything, it's that if you want the sugar, you better be prepared to post feet.

"Make Some Noise" was always just a long con to boil the frog on getting people to watch improv.

Already missing Hypnovember; should I do more of those threads?

#Hypnovember 🧵 #30: Eye-Opening Trance For a lot of folks, heavy eyelids falling closed is a bit part of the assumed nature of trance--but I love helping partners expand their definition to include trancing eyes-open (or doing so myself). Let's talk about it!

#Hypnovember 🧵 #29: Learn to the Love the Tist's Trance If you're a Switch, chances are good you have more opportunity as a tist than a subject, just by the numbers game alone. But even hypnotizing is a kind of trance. Let's talk about it.

#Hypnovember 🧵#28: Dream Logic and Double Think There's this thing that happens in dreams, where you can imagine something one way and yet know it's something else? It's a common experience and super useful in hypnokink. Let's talk about it!

#Hypnovember 🧵 27: A Curriculum for Tists A really brief one, since I'm in a turkey trance today, but I thought I'd take a second to think about some of the skills, hobbies, and practices that a 'tist can derive a lot of benefits from. Let's talk about it!

#Hypnovember 🧵 26: Brainwashing Play "Brainwashing." If you're into it, there's a pretty good chance it's one of the juiciest words in the hypnokink vocabulary. It's definitely one of my favorites, with everything (non-abusive) that it implies. Let's talk about it. 👿

#Hypnovember 🧵 #25: Extrapolation A lot of my play gives the subject room to let their mind go...well, wherever it wants to go. I think there's a lot of fun you can have by letting your subject extrapolate a suggestion to its logical conclusions. Let's talk about it!

#hypnovember 🧵 #24: Sound Effects Today, something less theoretical and a lot more personal: I've found, from play with a friend, that a lot of sound effects hit me in trance like a fucking brick. Let's talk about that.

#Hypnovember 🧵 #23: Work and Play I think I've touched on this before, but it's on my mind so away we go: I try my hardest to say that I'm "playing" with my partners, not "working" with them. Let's talk about it!

#Hypnovember 🧵 22: Necrotrance-y One of my favorite inductions is to ask someone to describe how they ✨feel✨ when they go into trance. Some folks struggle, but we walk through it, step by step...and they almost always end up traced out again. Why? Let's talk about it.

#Hypnovember 🧵 #21: "Hypnosis Can't Make You Do Anything You Really Don't Want to Do" Hoo boy. Infamous phrase. Common one. Load-bearing in hypnokink and hypno more broadly. I hate it. Let's talk about it.

The Two Hyp Chicks Podcast (a queer hypnokink podcast) is BACK after 4 years. This time, we're starting off with some live trance and then breaking down a couple of techniques that I used. We're shaking the rust off, but so happy to be back. ❤️ twohypchicks.simplecast.com/episodes/reb...

The years: *start coming* Me: great The years: *don’t stop coming* Me: oh no The years: *stop coming* Me: OH NO

#Hypnovember 🧵 #20, for real this time: The Pre-Talk is for Mindreading By pre-talk, I mean all the interactions that happen before a hypno play scene begins with a partner, but especially negotiation and framing. This sets them up to listen to your meaning, not your words. Let's talk about that.

My answer to your question isn’t just about my YouTube Shorts Hypnosis Education series. It’s about ALL hypnosis education. TL;DR: It’s for everybody. Find out why in the comments. Thank you for the question! youtube.com/@visiblerest... [continued]

#Hypnovember 🧵 #20: "Fake It Til You Make It" Today, I'd like to discourse a little less and instead open it up for thoughts and comments, because I've got a fairly solid stance, but I'm far from convinced that it's one-size fits all. So let's actually talk about it.

#Hypnovember 🧵18: The Coven Working with multiple people in a hypno scene can be a lot of fun, especially when multiple tists are in rapport and a little trancey themselves. It's witchy hypno story time tonight! Let's talk about it.

#Hypnovember 🧵 #17: Permissive Language I've danced around this before, but I think this time I want to illustrate it with a fun example: Good hypno is often bad writing, because it benefits from ambiguous language that lets the subject co-create the effect. Let's talk about "villain mode." 😈

I think this actually is normal. Unfortunately, when a lot of people can't find a healthy dom they turn to fascism.

#Hypnovember 🧵 #16: The Words Matter, but They're Not Magic When it comes to hypno kink, people are justifiably choosy about the wording of inductions and suggestions. That's a good thing! It's important to make sure you're leveraging all the tools in your box, and language is one of the biggest

A very brief #Hypnovember #15 from the woods: Subject Agency 🧵 Subject agency isn't just about safety--it can make your scenes even hotter. Let's talk about that.

Flirting's gotta come first. I ain't your Sir, Master, or any other such. Build rapport, flirt, see what happens.

#Hypnovember 🧵 #14: The Dreadful Gaze So, go with me, because it's an old trope: You look into the hypnotist's eyes and slowly feel yourself dropping. It's hot. It's fun! It's possible. I love doing it. Let's talk about it!

Curious about other Dom-type folks: How do you feel when someone's first DMs are loaded with honorifics? I understand they might be trying to show respect, but for me, it ends up feeling like they're trying to jump into a dynamic I haven't consented to yet.

I forgot to header this as #Hypnovember 13: Shifting Attitudes!!! Truly, my penance will be dire.

Once, I gave someone with a fairly stubborn gag reflex a brand new fetish for gags. (Consensually, obviously.) Let's talk about that! (Because he definitely couldn't 😉)

#Hypnovember 12: Theory, Courage, and Getting Messy I think it's probably obvious that I'm super into hypno-kink theory. It's fascinating! It's invigorating! It fills up my cup and replenishes my spell slots. But nothing replaces ~doing the thing~. Let's talk about that!

#Hypnovember 11: ✨The Penumbra✨ You know that feeling? The one where you're coming out of trance, but still feeling trancey? That lovely, floaty, quiet, foggy feeling? I like to call it the Penumbra, because I'm a fucking dork, and it's one of my favorite hypnotic phenomena. Let's talk about it.

#Hypnovember 11: The FAFO Ethos When it comes to my guiding principle for hypno-kink, I really like Fuck Around and Find Out--but when I say it, I simultaneously mean it enthusiastically and solemnly. Let's talk about that.

#hypnovember 9: Triggers, States, Juice, and You Triggers are a lot of fun. For many folks, they're a key element of the hypno ✨aesthetic ✨, just like spirals. I love 'em, you probably love 'em, but sometimes folks struggle with 'em. Let's talk about it.

Just remembering the time I gave someone a gag kink just by having him reframe the experience hypnotically. Fun is fun.

This exercise is SO GOOD. Do it with your friends. Do it with play partners!

#hypnovember 7: Words With Friends (With Benefits) I've got a weird little game/exercise/experience I like to run kink partners through to help them explore their internal processes. Let's talk about it!
