The german Therapist
"Willkommen, bitte setzen Sie sich. Wir werden gleich beginnen. Oh- Ihr Name klingt amerikanisch. Sie sprechen englisch?"
"Yes..."
"Alright then. Welcome to the session. Today we want to try to get into your head through hypnosis right? Is there any reason why you would prefer this way?"
"It's like... I'm suffering from depression and OCD since.. I don't know maybe forever? I've tried different therapies but nothing works. Maybe you can get inside my head. I've heard german hypnotists and therapists know what they doing..."
"Of course we know that!" - smiling -
Alright then. Just lay back and relax. We'll start lightly with a little spiral flashing light. Just watch the dark and light pattern changing into another and breath deeply. You said you've had a few therapy sessions with others? Do you know the counting tactic? Like-"
"Yeah I know... Breathe in 1-2-3-4
Breathe out 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8
And repeating. "
"That's right. Okay then. Watch the spiral and breathe. Try to relax a bit."
"You're doing very god. Already so calm. So relaxed. So sleepy."
"Calm... Relaxed... Sleepy..."
"Breathe deeply and watch the light. Get deeper into the dark"
"Deeper... Into... Dark..."
"You're doing so well. It's delightful to see you sink more and more. Deeper and deeper into the dark."
"Deeper... Into.... Dark..."
"What's that? Your voice already sounds so dreamy? You have a very special talent. Relaxing so fast isn't for everyone. I think you own a reward for being such a good patient...."
"You see I intensed the light a bit. I guess you already felt it but just for the information:
The brighter the light the emptier the brain.
And we need to empty your brain first. I need to order your thoughts so we can evaluate your problems. Are you listening? Hmmm... "
"Empty...."
"Sehr interessant... Das scheint nicht Ihre erste Hypnose zu sein..."
"Empty..."
"Don't forget to breathe. You need to stay with me a little longer. I think you aren't deep enough?"
"Not deep enough..."
"So beautiful to see your eyes fixed on the screen. You want to see brighter lights do you? Lights will make you more blank. More empty. Thoughtless and relaxed."
"Thoughtless and relaxed...."
"That's right... I will turn it brighter. Watch the light and sink into the dark. You're being a very good patient. Very good."
"I am a good patient..."
"Right. You are a good patient and you love being a good patient do you?"
"I love being a good patient"
"Breathe. Breathe deep and repeat. Let your brain turn off. You don't need to think anymore. You need to turn of your mind. Turn off your thoughts. Everytime I'm showing you a new spiral it looks like the light is getting brighter.
The brighter the light the emptier the brain
Bright lights make you empty
Darkness sucks you down
Into a very
Blissful
SLEEP"

"Good patient, come back and watch the spiral."
"It feels good to be empty"
"It feels good to be empty"
"It feels nice to be blank"
"It feels nice to be blank"
"It feels hot to give up control"
"I-it feels hot.. To give up... Control..?"
"SLEEP"
"Come back and watch the spiral."
"It feels good to be empty"
"It feels good to be empty"
"It feels nice to be blank"
"It feels nice to be blank"
"It feels hot to give up control"
"I-itt f-feels hot to... Give up... C-control.."
"SLEEP"
"So ein guter Patient..."
"It feels good to be empty"
"It feels good to be empty"
"It feels nice to be blank"
"It feels nice to be blank"
"It feels hot to give up control"
"It ffeels hot tto gigivee up ccontrroll"
"SLEEP"
"You're being a very good patient. You let me inside your head so easily. It would be such a waste not to use this... Use you... You are listening to every sweet word I'm whispering to you do you?"
"Yes Doctor"
"That's right. And you feel very hot do you?"
"Yes Doctor"
"Maybe you should strip down your clothes and watch the spiral again. It will help you control the heating the right way."
"Strip and watch spiral...."
"That's right... Ohh you're so beautiful. How your empty eyes staring at the screen. So far away. So submissive. Like good patients should be. Breathe sweetheart. Breathe deeply. We're almost there."
"Breathe deep..."
"Alright... I know you love these lights but we need to change the spiral now. But it won't be a problem. In fact you will sink even faster into the spiral and do you know why? Because I'm giving you a fixpoint. The very middle of the spiral. Watch it and stare at it. Think about how it is even possible that it turn into itself. Think about how silly that is."
"How silly to even think about something like this..."
"Silly to even want to think"
"... even want to... sink...."
"That's right. You're making me proud. You realized that it's over. You don't need thoughts. You don't need to think. All you need is to sink. Watching the spiral. Getting emptier and emptier until no thoughts are left. Just getting into a stupid, empty doll. "
"stupid... Emtpy... Doll?"
"SINK"
