#hypnotists

Each year, comedy hypnotists bring thousands of willing participants on stage to be hypnotized in front of crowds—harmless fun or risky business?

Emily Latimer investigates in a fascinating new #longreads piece.

January 4 is observed by those in the field as World Hypnotism Day. By “the field”, I mean of course practitioners, mostly therapists and those working within the psychology and psychiatry disciplines, for hypnotism has long been recognized as a legitimate therapeutic technique, though the extent of its efficacy continues to be debated. My interest however has to do with two other phenomena: 1)…

Ok I've been meaning to write intros to a few of my favourite hypnotists and I'm going to start with @theleeallure. I'm a huge fan, love her voice and her vibe just works for me. She's an intensely skilled hypnotist, has been doing it for many years and sometimes in the back of my brain I am just blown away at what she manages to pull off in a file while simultaneously dropping like a stone. If you like femdom/power-exchange there's lots of stuff to choose from and also a lot of self-care and subject empowerment files as well, sometimes all at the same time 😄. She's also good with safety usually slipping in a reminder that you can "accept, reject or adjust" any suggestions she's giving you.

Seven is a recommended starting point, especially for analytical thinkers or those with ADHD. Two other good files to listen to at the start are The Lee Trance and Lazy Summer Day. Cocktail mixes all of those together for a deeper experience. Then you can work your way through all the other free files on her site but Don't Listen is especially good once you've listened to some of the intro files.

There are also a bunch of free files taken from chats on her discord available which are also now on her Youtube Channel. Good subject (21 on the list) does what it says on the tin. Mind Massage (25) much warm fuzzy feelings as I recall. Transformation (27) introduces the concept of the control room which pops up in other files. Rejecting Suggestions (30) is good training for how to reject suggestions and help your subconcious look after you. She's also got a few files on her Patreon that are free I can recommend, including: Fractionation and Clicker Becoming a better subject I can heartily recommend subscribing as there are hundreds of files on there including many absolute bangers like Tropes, which is basically catnip to my ADHD brain and Coercive which is a classic if you like intense being conditioned into obedience experiences. You also get an invite to her Discord and the occasional live group trances she runs on there. Once you've had a listen and seen if she's for you or not, then I can recommend just about all of the paid for files on her site including any of the Dark Side files which appeal and especially Drumbeat which is an intense ride of deep hypnotic conditioning that I come back to again and again.

The ‘Hyp-Nut-Tist’ (1935, Dave Fleischer, Seymour Kneitel)

Popeye the Sailor #21

I'm actually currently looking for tist because as much as I love the hypno I do, I want to do more. Mean Friend and I met on FetLife originally, I want to say, but that was nearly 13 years ago. I've taught several people hypnosis after meeting them, and have also played with tists I met on tumblr/twitter/reddit, as well as a professional erotic hypnosis session.
