WE'RE BACK, just in time for the New Year! To ease back in after a wild couple of months, we got more drunk than we expected and just flowed. Enjoy hanging out with us and hearing some frivolous absurdity, including discussions of Hypnotic Realities by Erickson and Rossi, Evangelion (of course), fanfiction, and more. Also, as an amazing treat, hear some of her most truly Ericksonian hypnosis at the end of this episode as sleepingirl levels up her trancing. Things we mentioned: sleepingirl's new ...

One of the most common questions in hypnosis is: "How do we make triggers or suggestions that are longer-lasting and more persistent?" In this episode, we go through a variety of concepts and techniques to help answer this question. We talk about the role of memory, sensory and emotional conditioning, an NLP concept called future pacing, and more. This episode was sponsored by Mindless Matters -- a fun erotic hypnosis podcast hosted by two queer trans gals that includes discussion, frivolity, le...

Improvising hypnotic trances is a big level-up skill for many hypnotists -- the idea that we can make any concept suggestive is thrown around a lot in the community, but what are some ways we can think of that constructively?

We did a lovely rope scene on the day of recording, and came to a lot of breakthroughs in terms of how kinesthetic elements relate to communication in hypnosis (as well as rope) scenes, ideas about pacing and leading, and our relationship. This was a super fun drunk episode with some good shmoopy stuff and some big thinky stuff too. Enjoy!

In this topic (suggested by GleefulAbandon), we dive into the idea of mixing different kinds of pain with hypnosis -- how does this work? Can pain be an induction method? What kinds of qualities should we be thinking about when considering different aspects of impact?

We sit down for a nice chat reminiscing about the myths about hypnosis that we had to unlearn for ourselves over the time we've been doing all of this -- some of the usual and some stuff that might not be as common (but who knows)! A good mix of subject- and hypnotist-centric stuff! And some fun tips and tricks along the way (and maybe even a drinking game / hypnosis idea :P).

What is "evil" in regards to play? It's such a common theme and desire, but what are a couple ways we can define it for ourselves?

In this episode, we take a crack at the question, "How should we approach teaching hypnosis to beginners?" It's deceptively complex and we wanted to try something completely different that doesn't rely on existing frameworks. This is an interesting idea for anyone to parse -- beginners, experienced players, and especially educators. (Plus, sleepingirl REALLY enjoyed doing the trance for this episode and we're starting to do some breakdown afterwards!) This episode brought to you in part by... @ ...

OK -- we tried doing a heavy, serious topic and we weren't feeling physically or mentally up to it. But we were drunk and wanted to make something, so we turned on the microphone and just talked. We go through some anime stuff, some hypnosis stuff, some stuff about musicals, movies, and a WHOLE LOT of just belligerent bullshitting. This is not a usual episode, and there's only a few nuggets of good hypnosis knowledge, but if you enjoy just chilling out and listening to us chat and laugh like foo...

Building off of sleepingirl's recent article about becoming a skilled subject (see links below), we dig into some experiences and ideas that can help us improve as subjects (and help hypnotists take advantage of and build those skills in their partners). We also get to talk about some concepts from NLP that tie in, such as "chunking" and "reframing!" The original article can be found publicly readable on Patreon or find a free downloadable version on Gumroad . After Hours this time is a little b...

Let's talk about some of these and how they relate to play, including an excerpt from sleepingirl's upcoming book!

Another year, another Charmed. This year, we spend a little time recapping the con, as usual, but devote most of the episode to doing a thorough breakdown of the discussion group that we led, based on the notes that sleepingirl took during the class ( here ). We talk about themes of what we heard from different perspectives, our thoughts on some of the ideas that were presented, and some reworking and rewording that we'd like to do that better get our points across.

Hypnotically induced amnesia is of huge interest to many of us -- the possibilities it offers for play, how to best elicit it, and how amazing it can feel if you or your partner has a sexy gap in their memory. We discuss our philosophies with it, give some tips and tricks, and demonstrate our twist on this phenomenon. Also, some hilarity ensues with two forgetful girls.

Emotions are a natural part of us people with human brains, and there is so much to do to take advantage of how we feel them and conceptualize them.

Reading and writing -- whether it's stories, inductions, erotica, or anything else -- are easily hypnotic or hypnosis-adjacent. Let's talk about what it's like as writers and readers, things you can play with, and then let's answer some questions!

Gender: an identity, a persona, a construct, a feeling, a sensation, and so much more. Playing with gender can be a really intense thing for a lot of people and it encompasses more than we might expect... and it can be so, so sexy.
