Page 3- Trust and Building Rapport Part One

Like any exciting hobby, there's always a little preparation to be had so you can make sure your adventure is fun and safe! 

The hypnosis community has a lot of wonderful people eager to show you a wonderful time. Their interests are varied and vibrant. But you might not know what you're looking for right away. Some early subjects want to dive in as deep as possible and treat it all like it's some kind of magic. But Hypnosis is a skill that you train with yourself and whomever you decide to be your partner on this journey. So if you plan to dance this dance, It's good to make sure you are trying it with someone that's on the same page as you.

Much of hypnosis is dependent on the individual that's going under. The hypnotist is just guiding you after all. That being said, since a person is capable of believing all sorts of things, It can also be easy to believe this all has an otherworldly magical quality to it.  

If you take part in this, Acknowledge that you are going into a space where the lines of consent can get a little blurry, especially when you are becoming receptive to commands and ideas. So it's important to make sure that the person (or file) you are working with has your best interests in heart. 

If you're a hypnotist, this means making sure the person you want to bring under can handle what you are planning to try with them, and communicating clearly what you both want out of the experience. Transparency is key.

Trance responsibly!
