Hypnosis
Time for another Deep Dive, this time on hypnosis. This one is considerably longer than the previous two
So as with always I will start with explaining what hypnosis is. Hypnosis is a mental kink that involves placing someone in a trance where they are more suggestible and the hypnotist can give triggers. Odds are you have already been in a trance in your life, have you ever played a game and gotten so immersed you forgot the time, have you ever played a rhythm game and felt like your body was moving before you were thinking, have you ever read a book so good that you don't even see the words you just see images and scenes? Those are all great examples of trances.
Important words
Trance: an altered state of mind
Trigger: something that causes a particular reaction, set by a hypnotist.
Safeties: Triggers that are put in place to help protect one's mind
Hypnotist: The one controlling the tranced
Tranced: The one who is being hypnotized
I personally break the process of hypnosis down into a few steps.
The first step is always preparation, due to hypnosis involving an altered state of mind I firmly believe that every single part should be decided and consented to before anything else. Discuss triggers, wake-up, and any physical actions and terms being used during as well as who will be responsible for waking the one being tranced. Then both parties should do basic prep, drink, use the washroom, eat, get comfy etc.
Following this is the induction, this is the part where someone gets hypnotized. Usually it will involve a way to relax your body and mind, typically using a breathing pattern. Followed by a focus. Anything that forces you to focus on a singular thing, this could be the breathing pattern, or spiral, or a pendulum or perhaps even a mantra, a phrase that is repeated. The purpose of this is to remove distractions and keep your focus. After this part the tranced should be paying attention mainly to the focus, and only be aware of what the hypnotist is saying. In other words do not focus on what is being said, only listen and obey.
For a slight interlude, those of you who paid attention in English class may remember rhetoric, rhetoric is in my opinion incredibly helpful during hypnosis, build trust, use imagery, and use repetition to help with the induction and the next part.
After the induction is the Trance, usually this is started with a countdown using words that invoke the imagery of depth and falling or sinking to help open up the subconscious. Here is the meat of hypnotic play, this is where the hypnotist can set triggers or alter the state of the tranced's mind. Everything here should be decided before starting and during this section consent can not be given properly.
Finally, there is the wake-up. This is the part where the tranced wakes up from the trance. This can be done with help from the hypnotist or by using safeties. Afterwards provide aftercare.
So now to get more in-depth with triggers. Triggers are as explained something that provide a reaction. One of the most basic triggers is a trance trigger, these are usually words like sleep, or deeper that when said can push the tranced into trance faster which is helpful for repeated induction.
I believe that there are three different types of triggers; persistent triggers, instant triggers, association triggers.
Instant triggers are the most common, and are boiled down to when x do y. When you smell roses you giggle, when I say "mutt" you bark, when you touch your nipples you fall into trance. They are very simple action and reaction triggers.
Persistent triggers are triggers that tend to dictate behaviour on a longer scale. clothing and accessories tend to be really good for these. When you wear a collar you will act like a dog, if you have this plug in you will be a bimbo, when you wear the latex you will be a drone. They are slightly more complicated because the effects tend to be more involved.
Association triggers are triggers that are entirely subconscious and don't really have a solid trigger. This could be using hypnosis to get someone into a kink by associating that kink with pleasure. Or it could be used to break a bad habit like smoking by changing the craving with a desire to go for a walk.
The things that can be affected by triggers are almost unlimited. A quick list would be; actions, behaviours, reactions, memory, addictions, personality, sensations, skills, intelligence, etc.
If you think that that is most of what makes a person you would be correct. HYPNOSIS IS DANGEROUS. Never ever go under with a hypnotist that you do not trust. Before really getting into hypnokink I would highly recommend finding a hypnotist you trust and getting safeties put in.
I recommend at the very least having a safety that takes you out of trance when you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, a safety that lets you undo a session removing all triggers, a safety that lets you remove triggers whenever you need, and if you are into memory play a safety that lets you remember everything you had forgotten.
As the one being tranced there are things you should definitely be careful of such as; trying to bypass your safeties or make them not work, addiction, triggers that can activate accidentally, basic functions being locked by triggers and non-consensual trancing. These are all things that more experienced members of the hypno community have probably all heard abuse stories of. @safetyeyedlore is a new blog that is planning to help spread awareness.
Hypnosis is a beloved kink despite the danger because it truly is a kink where possibilities are endless. The ability to make people cum with just words or experience being fucked by tentacles are all possible with hypnosis.
Bimbofication is a kink that typically involves hypnosis that affects libido, intelligence and mannerism like style and speech patterns.
Dronification is a kink that involves hypnosis to create an alternate, non-persona, essentially a personality based on not having a personality, being a robot-like person who can only obey.
On top of that the flavor of your triggers and sessions can vary so much, from a standard stage hypnotist, to a succubus casting curses, to a programmer coding a drone.
Being tranced and hypnotizing people are both skills that take time and practice. Those who are experienced in both can even hypnotize themselves. It is a very unique kink that I would highly recommend to anyone.
