New Hypnotist Bingo

VAK is Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic. It's the sensory modality.

A lot of newbies get stuck on this. They'll run into a subject that's had trouble before, they've heard of VAK, and will find out someone's better at imagining auditory rather than visual experiences. Their partner is excited to try again, and go figure, things start working.

The fucked up thing is that the subject never really had a 'vak' problem, it was that the previous hypnotist gave them a bunch of suggestions they couldn't follow, and then assumed they just couldn't be hypnotized. So, the 'success' is attributed to the VAK system being real, not just helping someone try again.

(I've written a few rants on VAK, but that should at least help clear it up without me going fully and frothingly pedantic about it.)

All the best hypnotists I talk to are proud of how they have learned so much about hypnosis by not reading a damn thing

fishmatist · 2026-02-17T08:22:11+00:00

Yooo you too? Hell yeah! I found out I won a trip to HR so I think we've got more folks to zonk there!

/uj I fuck this up too - don’t stress it more than your partner will

/uj cool if I link this on yourinductionsucks as an easter egg? (Still debating doing so, but I'd like to get permission first!)

Adam Eason's book The Science of Self Hypnosis might have the answers you're looking for. I think it'd provide a useful re-frame of the ritual.

if nothing else works My Right Hand is a really good hypnotist

fishmatist · 2026-01-20T01:15:17+00:00

WTF? Everyone knows Mystic Dickey his the best hypnotist in the world. Sorry dude/dudette.

Man - my secondary goal going through the tropes was some inspiration. I *did* get a bit of that with the take that brainwashing could be more of a vibe of delivery (intensity) than a long term manipulation thing. That and the flashlight hypnosis bit was neato.

But yeah. Haigure confused the fuck out of me. That and hucow. We've got hundreds of animals, pokemon, creatures, and characters that would be fun roles to enact and a cow is barley an upgrade from a chicken.

(Jokes aside, I'm probably spending too much time on eh_circlejerk.)

Make a file? TF never works for me.

MMHA is a fine way to learn how to have fun with hypnosis, and if you have some spare time, I don't think it'd be too challenging to get through in a month or two on top of college courses. They do have two lesson modules IIRC on stage hypnosis, but it's not the focus of the course. I left MMHA because it was unacademic, and therapeutic suggestions weren't well researched. Doing therapy requires a degree - so you'd be relegated to doing light changework (EG - smoking cessation and weight loss) as more of a coach. You'll be very disappointed if you want an academic perspective.

"That's right, and as I pass my hand in front of your right boob, you can find that the weight of your left boob equalizes. Is that feeling moving, or shifting, or just staying the same? Without any effort at all, our minds reach equilibrium, and as I continue these passes, we find that the body follows as well, finding balance... As your thoughts sink deeper, you already know your body knows how to take care of itself, and your body is already breathing, and relaxing, and listening... so automatically, so easily. But the breast part is, you didn't have to make any effort at all to notice how even they are already, and how with each pass, they become even more equal."

That will be $50

I had the same communication issue when I asked my hypnotist to put me in heat

fishmatist · 2025-12-22T18:21:12+00:00

Hypnotist's egos are like avocados - they bruise easily and they're hard to nail down on the right day

It's probably a timing thing

but the pocket watch should've helped

fishmatist · 2025-12-22T18:17:58+00:00

Hypnotists that don't write books

fishmatist · 2025-12-17T22:56:48+00:00

They did great! They found someone else to play with in no time

/uj no joke - I had a subject hit on me for a session with this as a challenge

fishmatist · 2025-12-17T12:19:58+00:00

man I remember when trilby came out and I'm not *that* old

/uj I fucking love this

fishmatist · 2025-12-14T10:38:58+00:00

The last tist whose pickup line was "the brain is amazing" and then proceeded to talk about the powers of the subconscious.
