Psychological Phenomena in Trance by sleepingirl
The act of doing hypnosis is one that we naturally understand as playing with the mind. Therefore, it stands to reason that we need to be familiar with certain things about how the mind works in order to be effective. We don’t want to blindly say words that others tell us are hypnotic -- we want to have a thorough understanding of the way that a given person can process hypnosis. This doesn’t mean anticipating exact s...

This is honest to god one of the most erotic things I've ever done with myself. Yes, I recorded this article as a bimbo, but it ended up being really different than I expected. You can literally hear the transformation in real time as I continue through the article. This is NOT a bimbo space that I was familiar with and it really fucked me up -- it took me a while to get back to baseline. Enjoy. I want to do more of this!!!!

This is an article based off of a dream I had -- in the dream, I was a bimbo and didn’t even really notice despite the way that I was dressed (sluttily) and what I was saying (inanity). I had to give an impromptu lecture about how to do hypnosis, and I caught myself saying some really interesting things. It was only later in the dream that I realized I had been doing it bimbofied. When I woke up, I thought to myself, “Oh, wow -- actually, I had a couple of points there that might be w...

Hi all, a few people have recently brought to my attention that Patrons at some of the higher tiers can't see some content in lower tiers. I looked into it and it has to do with the way that tier permissions changed a while back on the platform. Patreon is just NOT the greatest platform and apparently there is no way for me to bulk or batch edit these permissions -- meaning I have to go back through ~100 posts and manually edit them individually. AWESOME!
I'll be working on this over th...

CW: unmarked hypnotic patter examples (as with all articles)
(It turns out that "ritualistic" and "heterotopic" are words that lend themselves to stumbling over :P)
If people are interested, I can transition to running polls about what articles to record -- so far I've just been doing the recent ones, but if there's interest in me recording older articles, I can do that! Let me know!

Hypnotic Ritual by sleepingirl
Rituals are a part of our days in a number of ways unique to the way that we go through our lives. Some of us participate in religious or spiritual rituals, others have certain routines that they go through that contain some element of conscious intention. They can be complex or as simple as watching a TV show with dinner. We can use concepts from ritualistic actions to add power and intention to the hypnosis that we do with our partners -...

I need to share that I'm struggling.
The last 3 weeks has been a recurrence of mystery symptoms that I experience 1-2 times per year. They are scary and incredibly disruptive to my life. Usually they are gone in less than a week. This time it's been every day for over 3 weeks, with new symptoms, and this week it's getting worse.
No doctor I've talked to has any real idea. I should feel comforted that most of the very dangerous problems have been ruled out, but I feel like I just k...

Hi everyone! ICYMI, here's what's new about my Patreon (lots of cool stuff)!
- The audio article tier is up and running! The week after I publish an article, I'll have a recorded version of it available. These will feature new, improvised hypnotic patter for the examples to show how I (or you) could use the concepts in actual hypnosis flow and scenes. There has been some desire for recording past articles as well -- I will hold some polls soon to see how we should do this!

Future Pacing by sleepingirl
When we start getting into the “bread and butter” of techniques that NLP supports, we arrive at what it calls “future pacing”: When the hypnotist has the subject move forward in time to imagine an outcome. Future pacing is cited as a powerful tool on its own, but it also serves to be a basis for many other techniques in NLP.
What is Future Pacing?
Future pacing is essentially the practice of having someon...

Hi everyone! Trix brought up an interesting question about whether or not I'd offer a tier that included audio recordings of my articles for people who process better through listening or want to multitask while still getting the content of my writing.
Is this something you'd be interested in? It would be somewhere between $10-15 for the tier -- if I went on the higher end, I could also potentially offer physical merch rewards at the tier (by subscribing, you'd receive periodic goodies)...

The Value of Nonstate Hypnosis and Ignoring Suggestibility by sleepingirl
Hypnosis is a unique art and kink in the sense that how we do it relies heavily on how we understand it. As writer and educator GleefulAbandon says, “You don’t need to explain what rope is in order to do a rope scene.” This idea applies to all parties in a hypnosis scene: The subject, notably, needs to understand at least a little bit about hypnosis for it to be most effective. We are famili...

Constructing Hypnotic Metaphors
Metaphors are a famous ingredient in different kinds of hypnosis, especially within Ericksonian techniques and thus, NLP. We’ve talked before about how metaphors permeate our language and processing, and in this article we’ll go more into detail about how they have been used specifically in hypnosis, as well as how we can think about them in order to get comfortable with this kind of technique.

Intuitive Magic: Kinesthetic Hypnosis by sleepingirl
I had a dream about magic a little while back. In it, I was exploring different types and schools. I already had good, innate magical ability -- I could manifest power with my hands if I concentrated in just the right way. But I didn’t know how to refine it; I felt like I was limited by my lack of education. So I poured over books and asked others to teach me more formal magic. I learned complex motions, corresponde...

The “Problem” is the Solution by sleepingirl
We talk about utilization as an indispensable concept within hypnosis -- the Ericksonian idea that as hypnotists, we should somehow be “using” what is available to us to hypnotize our partners. This makes sense on an abstract level, but perhaps is sometimes difficult to understand its practical applications. In this essay, we’re going to explore a certain facet of utilization, specifically within the context of “t...

Conversational Sadism by sleepingirl
Sadomasochism is one of the core elements of BDSM -- while it’s not necessary to engage in to play, nevertheless it is iconically “kinky.” We often think of whips and slapping and other physical methods of hurting someone, but one of the most intriguing aspects of sadism is engaging psychologically. Emotional sadism can be seen as fairly edgy, and used with hypnosis often has the connotation of hypnotically manifesting negative...

Introduction to Framing/Reframing by sleepingirl
Many hypnosis sources talk about and around the idea of “framing” -- largely relative to how we present information and the relationship between it and its context. We understand intuitively, perhaps, that the way something is framed can change the way that it is understood or processed. It stands to reason, then, that if we change the framing of something -- by “reframing” it -- we can change the experience. Let...
