I have read a few times about hypnotic collars being used to use operant conditioning on a person. Is this something that can actually be done? How would it be undone. It strikes me as wildly unethical.
Is there a form of hypnosis that makes it so that you don’t think about your traumas anymore? I am aware that it’s impossible to make someone forget about their trauma entirely..but isn’t it possible to hypnotise someone into not thinking about it throughout the day?
Hi, I have been interested in hypnosis but I have never experienced it or learned how to do it. Based on different stories and experiences I read on here, hypnosis seems to be real and I like the concept a lot.
I have been thinking lately that I can use hypnosis to spice things up a bit with my wife. I'm curious if maybe hypnosis can maximize the pleasure I can give her by utilizing her subconscious mind.
But even if that's possible, where should I start? How did you guys learn the techniques? Can a beginner easily hypnotize someone?
Thank you in advance
I had a hypnotherapy experience 3 months back and have had a sensation in my forehead that won’t disappear. Sometimes it’s completely not there and I feel normal, but more often than not it’s present and often quite prominent.
I have seen my doctor and had several tests. Nothing is showing there as a concern and doc has no clue how to resolve.
Trying to understand what is happening and why I am stuck in this permanent sort of situation? It is quite uncomfortable at times so appreciate all your advice and thoughts to resolve.
Alright so I've been practicing mindfulness and meditation for a while, and wanted to try out (self-)hypnosis.
It looks like everytime anyone asks about side effects, the discussion goes back to "bambi" being a video which specifically creates an kink about being turned into a stupid trans woman?? What kind of rabbithole is that and are we sure that's not just some individuals LARPing about "muh dangerous and powerful stuff"?
Anyway, I wanted to decrease my neuroticism and agreeableness while increasing my consciousness by adding self-hypnosis to my meditation routine. Over the course of months for long-lasting effects of course.
The short-term ones would be about being able to focus better for a hour or two following my session. Is it a realistic goal and is there a clear "optimal blueprint" to follow?
Someone that experienced?
Heyy so I’m f and I’m looking for a man with a deep voice who does sleep hypnosis. I’m asking for a deep voice because it calms me down more and I’ve had insomnia for years. I’m not able to go to sleep early no matter how hard I try. Even if I make my body tired with sports, sleep deprivation etc. I just can’t sleep. I sometimes lay for hours without sleep. The next step would probably be sleeping pills but before that I thought this might be a good try. I’d be really helpful for any tips or help with that<3
Hi so I went to hypnosis show yesterday day with a group of us. I was one of the volunteers it was kinda fun. I didn’t know anything about how it was going to be. But at the end I was really relaxed and enjoyed the feeling. So it’s late now and wanted to know if there are any audio in YouTube I can watch that would give me that feeling? Idk if I’m making sense..
I know that cartoons have sparked a hypnosis fetish for most people (including me), but curious if anyones sexual interest sparked any other way or later in life.
Hi, I'm looking for videos of hypnosis shows. Where there are girls under hypnosis. I prefer those who are active during hypnosis, dancing, singing, or imitating animals. Does anyone have any videos? Thx
so I had this question in the back of my mind for a while now, so my school was holding a stage hypnosis show. I was one of the volunteers who got picked when she put me and a couple of other people to sleep. when we started to sleep, we apparently fell out of our sets as we "got deeper." it started to feel like a dream or some sort of Hallucination because I felt like the show was over and everyone went home, it felt like I was at my house then suddenly we all woke up and realized we were on stage the whole time.
I was hypnotized before and I can’t really describe the feeling but its so warm and safe. I seek that feeling again and i dont even know where to look or to ask for that that’s why i came here. I like the thought that someone can manipulate my brain and my thoughts. Maybe in a way that im more consistent with my uni work or self love. I want a man to use my brain and manupilate/ hypnotize it. I can’t even say for which specific purpose. I dont know if something is wrong with me or if that has any specific reason why i want it. Can anyone help me with that or has an opinion/ tips for it?
wanting a loyal sub for hypnosis and brainwashing into being my personal sub
I just wanted to write about my experience with hypnosis and how I feel I can’t be hypnotized. When I was young, I went to a show, I believe at the time I was 18, and although I didn’t participate directly, I followed along with the start for fun and didn’t go into a trance. Technically, this is the only time I have seen another hypnotist in real life, and this was stage work.
Moving forward, I started studying in the fall of 2025 and started going online, and within a rapid succession I was hypnotizing people every day on video chats and whatnot, eventually hypnotizing a friend in real life. I did some pretty wild stuff during this time that I learned quickly, and I only learned through YouTube, reading Reality is Plastic, and just general research. I estimate I probably hypnotized upwards of 50 people.
I then gave it up, but I always tried to self-hypnotize myself, either through videos or watching other people’s videos, but could never get it to work at all. I could never even get myself to enter a trance. Now I haven’t practiced or researched for a long time now, since around December was the last time I did anything, but a couple weeks ago I had an interesting experience.
I was sitting at a wedding zoned out, and I heard someone point to something on the floor and say, “Hey, such and such left their wallet there.” I genuinely and wholeheartedly saw a wallet laying on the floor in the distance, and it was about 10 seconds before someone leaned down and said, “Oh dang, that’s not a wallet,” and they picked up a napkin. I found this experience rather interesting because it almost seemed that when I was zoned out, I accepted the suggestion and believed I had seen a wallet as well.
I would like to work with another hypnotist one-on-one in real life, not only to test if I could get into a trance, but also for the fact that I could work with them and learn some skills to add on to my skill sets. So has anyone else had any journey similar to mine where you couldn’t self-hypnotize or do it online? And what’s y’all’s advice for finding other hypnotists in real life?
I have used hypnosis videos before for relaxation, confidence etc and they definitely work for me. As I understand hypnosis is always a form of selfhypnosis, but I notice that hearing a guiding voice helps me to get into hypnosis/trance. It works better for me then meditating myself because my thoughts go everywhere and with a guiding voice I stay more focused. So I have this idea to make a hypnosis script and record my own guided hypnosis audio. What is your experience with recording your own voice for selfhypnosis?
What percentage?I mean
I ask because influence seems like such a necessary skill, especially into today’s internet connected world, and so do the skills that go into script writing and understanding different states of consciousness.
I asked an ai and I got answers like 1% , but if anyone has any numbers on this or an educated opinion I’d be interested to hear it.
Also how many people actually get how much cell phones and the like influence them? Do they just not have reference point/language for it in any terms that aren’t broad ?
So, I was deep in hypnosis, (this type of effect has happened to me 2 or 3 times before) when my mind is silent. Then at a point everything will start spinning, it feels like I’m laying flat and everything except me is spinning In a vertical donut shape while I’m laying in the middle, with a bit of those spinning top fair rides. while this is happening i feel my heart pounding. This happens with standard audio files that tend to make me happier when I use them.
So is this something I should be worried about?
I feel pretty down on myself today.
Yesterday I had my first ever hypnosis session apart from online self hypnosis recordings which I have experimented with.
I was there for help with my extreme sugar addiction. I know it’s not as severe as say smoking or drugs, but it’s something I want to address.
It was a lovely session. Very relaxing and I left feeling positive although a little off balance due to some of the spiritual talk which jarred with my beliefs and my job.
I went to the supermarket after to get groceries and didn’t buy any refined sugar products but I did feel the usual cravings. I just thought it would be silly to give in so quickly.
This morning I lasted about 2 hours before feeling the pull that felt too strong to resist and gave in to cravings.
I feel pretty stupid for having so little willpower and actually feel the cravings even stronger almost like I’m rebelling.
Does this mean hypnosis may not be the right fit for me?
I brought a similar question up in my previous post but I thought it was important enough to warrant its own. Basically, I tried explaining triggers to my friend by describing a trigger I gave to myself and inviting him to use it, but he seemed really unsure about the idea. I'm worried that my attempt to describe hypnotic triggers made it sound like mind control (despite trying to maintain that hypnosis is not mind control), which got me thinking about how triggers even work in the first place.
For example, the example I gave to my friend was that whenever I heard the command "freeze" combined with a finger snap, I would be unable to move my body (Note: I made sure that the trigger had all the necessary safeties, such as it only working with people I trusted and being able to unfreeze on my own if needed). What I'm wondering is how your brain actually decides to respond to a trigger, because I didn't really pay attention to that and just followed the suggestion automatically. Is there any explanation as to how triggers work that would convince a skeptic that they're not nefarious?
Just to clarify, I'm not trying to force my friend to do anything that he doesn't want to do, as we've known each other for many years and I care about our friendship a lot. But at the same time I really want him to experience all of the cool things that hypnosis can do. My goal is purely to understand why he's so uncomfortable with the concept of triggers so I can explain them in a way that doesn't bring up any hesitance or negative thoughts.
So I saw a video it was from like 13 years ago where a guy demonstrated the levels of hypnosis on his friend. She was already hypnotizable and on the final level she was hypnotized and then while she was in hypnosis he gave her a suggestion and he said it may take a while till she hears it and it may be a hour or 30 minutes till it clicks. Has anyone experienced that state before?
