Quelling the fear of hypnosis
Answering certain fears about hypnosis
Mistress Log 2
A real log of a visitor to My erotic mind control and hypnosis site, who uses the "talk to a live person" help function to chat with Me. Enjoy!
- Mind Mistress: Hello
- Visitor: Good Afternoon. I'm sorry to bother you, but I have a few questions, if you don't mind.
- Mind Mistress: Not at all
- Mind Mistress: Go ahead :)
- Visitor: Thanks you.
- Mind Mistress: That's what this function is for
- Visitor: I've seen a number of sites online, and have visited yours a number of times, but I;m nervous about online hypnosis.
- Mind Mistress: What potential result are you nervous about?
- Visitor: I don't trust that it would work. that it *could* work. I've seen onliine inductions, and they don't do anyhting.
- Visitor: Cd's don't work for me.
- Visitor: Actually, about losing money.
- Mind Mistress: Ahh, ok
- Mind Mistress: A valid concern
- Visitor: and, to be honest, the Adam story scares me.
- Visitor: that you could do that to someone... change them that much, or permanently.
- Mind Mistress: You know, I can only change what people allow me to change
- Visitor: I know that, in theory.
- Mind Mistress: As for Adam and others... well, they want me to be "evil"
- Visitor: but, what if? That's the thing.
- Visitor: evil?
- Mind Mistress: I do therapy and spirituality at half the price. Being good isn't nearly as popular
- Visitor: so in their hearts, they want to be changed.
- Mind Mistress: Yes
- Mind Mistress: That's the point
- Visitor: HA.
- Visitor: that's interesting.
- Mind Mistress: I can force anyone to do what they want to do
- Mind Mistress: No more, and no less
- Visitor: You can or you can't?
- Mind Mistress: I can
- Visitor: Oh, wait, gotcha.
- Visitor: But within their boundries.
- Mind Mistress: Yes
- Visitor: That makes sence.
- Mind Mistress: If there's a part of them that wants something, I can amplify it
- Visitor: Ok, that makes sense.
- Mind Mistress: but I can't create out of thin air
- Visitor: what if part of them wants it, but part is scared?
- Mind Mistress: I can address what the scared part is scared of
- Mind Mistress: and come to some agreement
- Mind Mistress: that makes all the parts happy
- Visitor: have you ever been unable to give somenone what they want, because of their mind?
- Mind Mistress: There are cases where they gave up before success
- Mind Mistress: You can't fail if you don't give up
- Mind Mistress: And I don't give up
- Visitor: But you could, given time...
- Visitor: and, well, the money to support that time.
- Mind Mistress: Yes
- Mind Mistress: There are cases where it's a lot harder than usual
- Mind Mistress: and those where it's the opposite
- Mind Mistress: Ericksonian hypnosis is heavily tailored to the person's responses
- Visitor: But you can't know until you try?
- Visitor: Like all things.
- Mind Mistress: Yup
- Visitor: That makes sence.
- Mind Mistress: I've had people who thought they were really impossible to hypnotize
- Visitor: I'm sorry, I'm still nervous... I've never, well, gone past lurking.
- Mind Mistress: had tried CDs and online inductions
- Mind Mistress: and then they fell like a rock with me
- Mind Mistress: online, or by phone
- Visitor: Really? Because it's specific to that person. Either.
- Mind Mistress: All I can say about someone who hasn't been able to be hypnotized before is...
- Mind Mistress: that the methods that were used with them weren't appropriate to them
- Mind Mistress: Which says nothing about how they'll react to my style
- Visitor: That makes sense, too.
- Visitor: Because your style is differnt than they've had.
- Mind Mistress: They kept doing tests on the population about how many are hypnotizeable and to what degree
- Mind Mistress: in universities
- Mind Mistress: But all they really found out is how many people respond to a specific recorded induction
- Mind Mistress: Another induction would have gotten a different group of people responding
- Mind Mistress: Some like authority styles...
- Mind Mistress: Some like being gently lured into it...
- Mind Mistress: I favor luring :)
- Visitor: hmm.. I never thought about that.
- Visitor: :)
- Visitor: It seemed that way from Adam's story.
- Mind Mistress: Notice I seldom if ever tell him to do anything
- Mind Mistress: I just make him *want* to
- Visitor: But you suggest things the whole time.. how is that different?
- Mind Mistress: Yes, you might feel thirsty now
- Mind Mistress: and you might not
- Mind Mistress: it's just a suggestion
- Mind Mistress: I'm not telling you what to do
- Mind Mistress: Though if you are thirsty...
- Mind Mistress: you might want to get something to drink...
- Mind Mistress: and then again...
- Mind Mistress: you might find what I'm saying so interesting...
- Mind Mistress: that you prefer to endure being thirsty...
- Mind Mistress: :)
- Visitor: I think I understand what you mean.
- Mind Mistress: Out of curiosity, are you thirsty?
- Visitor: a little, yes.
- Mind Mistress: Yes, and what you do about it is your choice entirely...
- Visitor: but i don't know if it was before you made that suggestion or not.
- Visitor: Or if your suggestion made me aware of it.
- Mind Mistress: Indeed :)
- Visitor: Well, I made my choice. This is interesting, please, if I'm keeping you I apologize.
- Mind Mistress: Classical hypnosis is about lying so well that the person believes your lies... "you are sleepy, etc."
- Mind Mistress: Ericksonian hypnosis is about telling the truth so well...
- Mind Mistress: that the world starts to follow what you say...
- Visitor: that's rather eerie.
- Mind Mistress: It's the stuff of magic...
- Visitor: but it makes sence, given the above.
- Visitor: wow.
- Mind Mistress: :)
- Visitor: ... so.. I'm interested... very nervous.. and still unsure...
- Mind Mistress: I'm basically a nice person, and I like making people happy.
- Visitor: I certainly can't do multiple sessions. Well, the Genie in a bottle comment is a bit intimidating, knowing how the genie works. :)
- Mind Mistress: It's just that a lot of people like me to pretend to be evil.
- Mind Mistress: If you note in the Trance Request Form, I ask people specifically what traits they want in their hypnotist
- Visitor: I do like evil, I just fear permanence.
- Mind Mistress: Evil is exciting :)
- Mind Mistress: So I leave it as an option
- Visitor: I did see that. and it really is.
- Visitor: I would love to totoally "lose control" to be aware of losing it and not be able to stop it.. but I just wouldn't want.. well. adam.
- Visitor: it's too far for me.
- Mind Mistress: However, if I was really mean and cruel, I'd make people suffer. I don't. I want them happy.
- Visitor: That's very true too.
- Mind Mistress: I don't really care if they're happy as business men or big breasted strippers. They make the wishes, not I.
- Visitor: with Adam, you know that he's happy because he wouldn't have allowed it to happen if he really didn't want it?
- Visitor: as long as they're happy.
- Mind Mistress: He didn't specifically want to be feminized. He wanted to completely lose control
- Mind Mistress: It was just one way of doing it which I like, and he agreed to.
- Visitor: ah..
- Visitor: And it worked because he was ultimately ok with it.
- Mind Mistress: Yes. A specific means to a goal.
- Visitor: but then why the disclaimers that it may change the person? if it's what they do want?
- Mind Mistress: Now, you have to realize one thing. Much as I like making people happy, I also like getting paid. Which means I want them to keep their jobs.
- Visitor: Haha.
- Visitor: Of course.
- Mind Mistress: :)
- Visitor: :)
- Mind Mistress: The disclaimers are for legal reasons
- Visitor: Given the way of the world, as well, that makes sense.
- Mind Mistress: A number of people get affected simply by reading through the site
- Mind Mistress: and...
- Mind Mistress: By having read the agreement and still going in...
- Mind Mistress: they are implicitly agreeing to being changed.
- Visitor: So it covers you, and your site.
- Mind Mistress: I'm not talking legally
- Mind Mistress: You read it and went in
- Visitor: but mentally?
- Mind Mistress: Which means you agreed to some influence from the material of the site
- Visitor: so you want what you get from the site.
- Mind Mistress: Yes
- Visitor: That makes sense.
- Mind Mistress: Consent is necessary.
- Visitor: which is ultimately what is always needed.
- Mind Mistress: Brainwashing requires the subject cooperate in small but ever increasing ways
- Visitor: I thought that was about breaking down the will.
- Mind Mistress: It can be
- Visitor: But then where does the cooperation come in?
- Mind Mistress: American prisoners in China were given simple requests...
- Mind Mistress: Such as: "we understand that you believe Capitalism is better...
- Mind Mistress: but in the spirit of fair play...
- Mind Mistress: We would like you to write down three things that are good about communism
- Mind Mistress: and three things that are bad about capitalism"
- Visitor: so they got agreement in a covert way.
- Mind Mistress: Yes
- Visitor: ..sneaky...
- Mind Mistress: Baby steps :)
- Visitor: that makes sence. Well, I have taken much of your time. And I do thank you greatly. I just looked at your rate page (it's been a long time sicne I had...) I will definitely need to take time before trying to schedule something.
- Mind Mistress: Ok, but since I have used this much time in explanation...
- Mind Mistress: Do you give me permission to post this log on the site
- Mind Mistress: to help answer other people's questions?
- Visitor: Yes
- Mind Mistress: Thank you :)
- Visitor: No, actually, thank you.
- Mind Mistress: Do you have any title to suggest for it?
- Visitor: Quelling the fear, perhaps?
- Mind Mistress: Cool title, I like it :)
- Visitor: :)
- Visitor: I will let you get back to your work. Thank you very much.
- Visitor: I do really wish we could take more time.
- Mind Mistress: Have a great evening :)
- Visitor: You as well.
- Mind Mistress: If you have more questions... there's here and ICQ...
- Visitor: I appreciate that. I may take you up on theoffer.
- Mind Mistress: Bye :)
- Visitor: Bye.
