Taking a much needed break from writing for the website. There's a lot there, Binaural Histolog has better grounding in academic perspectives, and sleepingirl has excellent Patreon articles if you want to figure out how to apply it.

I'm tired of my amygdala feeling like a punching bag.

Introductory talk on human volition. (Talks on agency from academic perspective coming soon.) yourinductionsucks.fyi/talks/patric...

Mourning the loss of my mom. I'll be fine. Lend me your patience. I have a bit to think about.

Hella weird to go to FC after being in the hypnosis community for so long. It’s peaceful here XD

Been reading through some takes on method acting and this shit is all just self hypnosis for role-enactment. WTF.

People really need to separate self-diagnosis from autosuggestion. Not sure how to approach that one.

Binaural Histolog just dropped another banger, this time about improving hypnotic response and troubleshooting. Worth a read for all skill levels. Straight and to the point. binauralhistolog.com/newbie/sugge...

Website is back up in case you noticed a blip. Also posted some notes on hypnosis tropes. Timestamped to the reference video, even. yourinductionsucks.fyi/talks/devon-...

In 2026, I will consume less youtube slop and video essays.

Dug this out of Isis Revelata - An Inquiry into the origins, progress, and present state of Animal Magnetism from 1833. It's on archive.org. Might be worth a shot if you're into old inductions like some people are into vintage cars.

I too see a lot of homoaction

Binaural just added a flowchart for "am I hypnotized." Super helpful and clarifying for beginners: binauralhistolog.com/newbie/getti...

Fuck off Rossi I'll come up with my own bullshit

Mystic Dickey is my favorite hypnosis file creator, hands down

A: "Okay we got the brainwashing rig set up, ready to go!" B: "Uh... is this safe? This is all just supposed to be recreational." A: "Oh yeah it's fine, the headsets are all set up on Valve Index Trident cables. There's no way they can last for more than a few months."

What the fuck is going on with these bots on bsky

Man, I suck at chess (400 elo on a good day), but the metaphor *does* neatly fit with hypnosis. - Inductions/openings - The first thing people get excited about, often don't matter - Tactics/techniques - Biggest bang for your buck but people don't want to study it

I’ve considered offering hands-on mentorship as a side gig but I don’t think anyone would like the homework enemas

Hypnosis is easy*! *after you've done 500+ sessions, the process is automatic, you know how to create the alterations you want, you realize most responses need to be shaped and are out of your control, and you can gracefully recover from failure

eh_circlejerk is my emotional support subreddit

... Why the fuck is hypno-gloving not a thing? Like - unironically.

Aforementioned pocket watch. Them reminding me that it exists a few nights is what encouraged me to grab it. It's free now, but throw them ten bucks! It's solid.)

Me: Man - got some top drop and I could use a gentle zonk. Also me: Ya know you haven't even set up that pocket-watch asset yet. Could be fun.

My hypnosona is Grand Pickle Lord Vreahli I do a really good job at opening stubborn pickle jars

Man - if you do clicker training: - Talk about the risks of responses generalizing. - De-escalate before it starts to become a problem. - Attempt to incorporate social context - generalization is sloppy, but happens. - Don't do it if you can't handle it.

The ultimate humiliation scene: Your subs have to play Monopoly (with no houserules). Only the winner gets hypnotized.

Pickup lines for monster fuckers: "Hey do you play chess? I was looking for someone to show me how to weave a mating net."

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...

”Notifications are off for this app” Yes this is deliberate

Today I emphasize that being a hypnotist doesn't require substantial amounts of charisma or social presence It isn't a 24/7 persona that you broadcast to everyone in order to create verisimilitude regarding your Special Powers Hypnosis is a practical skill, it can be learned like any other.

I think I am done. I don’t know exactly what that means. Apologies for leaving ambiguity. Thank you to those that have been kind to me.

"Modular Inductions: Build Your Own Elman" The Elman as you've never seen it before! Though flawed, it has so much to teach about induction form, structure, and content -- and how to build + improvise. Proud of this one! 5500 words with A TON of hypnotic examples. www.patreon.com/posts/143067...

... That was not what I expected to read today.

... Well that could have really amusing unintended effects.

Hypnosis suggestion that causes you to start talking in a really stupid accent whenever you attempt to hypnotize someone.

Highlights thread

Got a bit of a bugbear about the IFS thing. - Research is spotty. The meta-analysis I found did not control for how it was practiced. - The methodology overview from ifs-institute suggests splitting the client into parts. This is *literally* what we warn against doing in recreational hypnosis.

I'm gonna recharge my HP bar by looking at weird shit on E6

Man. If there's a way to piss someone off, it's offering to "educate" them. You simultaneously insult their intelligence, dismiss their perspective, and invalidate them while playing a status game. Bonus points if you accuse them of being arrogant when they decline your generosity.

If there's anything I hate more than NLP, it's IFS.

I'm no therapist, but the oversexualization drives me nuts too.

... WTF I might like this book that's coming from an Ericksonian perspective. I think I just hate the Rossi circle-jerk.
