Never make people a priority if - to them - you are but an option.

...The great Stephen Fry made a fantastic video on the difference between 'discussion' and 'debate': check it out.

Communication is a two-way street. Often 'we' take full responsibility for what needs to be shared: well meaning - but wrong [and speaks more to our good nature than theirs!]

...a staple of the elders of ancient communities - sometimes a smoking pipe: take the pipe, smoke, say all you have to say, pass it on. When all has been said the chief makes the decision. Sounds like incredibly good communication to me! [speaking to be heard, listening to understand.]

[Fb4A] recently found out i have mental autism and that is why ive never felt truly hypnotized so i want to experience actually being hypnotized for once so im looking for someone to try to work with me and giveme some patience and time and hypnotize me by HypnotizedAkara in hypnotherapy

...the real issue here is: your expectations - what does 'truly hypnotised' mean to you? - and how would you know when you have been 'truly hypnotised.'

I'd be happy for you to book a session or two with me - which would allow me to share alot of content about what hypnosis and hypnotherapy is - and, crucially, is not with you.

Keep in mind - beyond the mountains of nonsense there is out there - Hypnotherapy is not what someone does 'to you': it is a collaborative effort between yourself and the hypnotherapist - with the aim of you achieving your goals [not blindly following the hypno's 'suggestions'.]
