>>12748I don’t have a partner currently, but I’ve really been enjoying reading transcripts of hypno files online. I prefer it over listening because I can seamlessly switch roles; they have some effect on me if I read them silently in the intended sub role, or I can start reading them aloud and practice being the hypnotist.
it’s very important to find actual examples of hypnotism that appeal to you so you can learn the feel of it; learning theoretical terminology like “anchoring” and such is important too but there’s only so much you can learn from books. it can be more important to find concepts you’re interested in and then see what comes up in search results in communities like /r/erotichypnosis and build out your knowledge base that way (and non-kinky therapeutic hypnosis is also worth learning about and there are communities for that too).
I’m also starting to look into self-hypnosis to see if I can get any interesting behavior changes that way (either for helping with bad habits or just figuring out what can be done and gaining confidence for hypnotizing others).
