Seems you enjoyed yesterday's number! I'm so glad you did - this is so much fun! Today's is a little more nuanced, so let's take a look.

This trigger does one of my favorite things: takes something you casually say almost every day and makes it hypnotic. With such triggers it's very important to establish limits and safeties, to know when it may be active and when it might not be. Regardless, it can be deeply fun.

The trigger is this: whenever you say the words "I think" in passing, like you typically would when expressing an opinion, your thoughts begin to dissolve and fade, a pleasant fog moving in to take their place. The more you try to recover those thoughts, the more that fog grows and confuses.

Of course, when you're first given this trigger, you'll likely be able to avoid it as you are now conscious of what happens if you say it unawares. That's what I did, because I get cocky and think I'm smarter than that. And sure, the first time around it's easy enough to avoid using that phrase, or at least to catch yourself before you use it.

But then a day passes. Maybe two. And offhandedly you say it in normal conversation. Suddenly there's this pause in your mind. This brief blip of blankness that catches you for a moment before slipping away with a chuckle. A reminder.

This is so much fun because of how you can be caught by it. We say "I think" all the time in everyday conversation that it's nigh impossible to go through the day without saying it. Traps laid everywhere, in plain sight, your thoughts ripe for the taking.

Even better worse if you're in a session after some time has passed and those words flow from your lips, and before you have time to realize your mistake...what mistake? What were you just talking about? I thought-...wait...

And your tist looks at you, smiling, and says "No. You don't. Not anymore."

And you can't help but smile right back. Because of course you don't.

This is perfect for enjoyers of covert and conversational hypnosis, and I'm excited to see what you think 😉
