We're home from Charmed! As per tradition, we want to spend a bit of time talking about our highlights from the con, but that's only half of the episode! Based on some nice comments from the class we taught, we wanted to spend a bit of time talking about something from that: utilization! Expect about 10 minutes of each of those segments.

We talk about things like:

• Our con recap -- fun things we did
• 3 different ways the word "utilization" gets used in hypnokink
• The importance of being able to make anything an induction and ways to think about that
• An Erickson-specific model of hypnosis -- Ericksonian utilization
• A silly little trance playing with "basic hypnosis" tropes

Hope you enjoy :)

Our upcoming class at Charmed 2026 has got us asking: "How DO you teach how to do kinesthetic (physical/touch-based) hypnosis?" Why, by getting into an existential conversation about what hypnosis even is, of course! Kidding (mostly) -- but join us for a fun chat exploring some theories and technique for touch based hypnosis, with some bonus stuff about kinesthetic hallucinations like phantom sense!

We hit topics like:

• How people go through different "models" in their hypnosis learning journeys
• How theories of hypnosis inform the techniques we use
• A couple things that can make touch/physicality hypnotic
• How intent matters
• A trance where we get cc to hallucinate touch!

Thanks for joining us :)

WE'RE SO BACK. Shaking off the rust, we're coming back after 4 years and doing an episode where we start off with some hypnosis and then break down a few of the techniques inside of it in bite-sized pieces.

First we start off with a mini trance to give cc the experience of taking a "shot" of water, then move into a longer trance with elements of kinesthetic hypnosis and dollplay. This is a jumping off point for us to talk a bit about some techniques like pacing and leading, D/s, and stillness. We talk a little bit about where we've been and what we've been up to as well!

Thanks so much for listening as we get our "podcast legs" back -- it means the world to us. We missed you! Look forward to monthly episodes!

WE'RE BACK, just in time for the New Year! To ease back in after a wild couple of months, we got more drunk than we expected and just flowed. Enjoy hanging out with us and hearing some frivolous absurdity, including discussions of Hypnotic Realities by Erickson and Rossi, Evangelion (of course), fanfiction, and more. Also, as an amazing treat, hear some of her most truly Ericksonian hypnosis at the end of this episode as sleepingirl levels up her trancing.

Things we mentioned:

• sleepingirl's new book, "Kinky NLP" is available now!
• The Gaston song
• sleepingirl's Sherlock fanfic

One of the most common questions in hypnosis is: "How do we make triggers or suggestions that are longer-lasting and more persistent?" In this episode, we go through a variety of concepts and techniques to help answer this question. We talk about the role of memory, sensory and emotional conditioning, an NLP concept called future pacing, and more.

Improvising hypnotic trances is a big level-up skill for many hypnotists -- the idea that we can make any concept suggestive is thrown around a lot in the community, but what are some ways we can think of that constructively?

In this topic suggested by @FrozenAmazon on Twitter, we talk about the nuances of playing in public, the value of secrets, and how waking trance fits into our model. Plus, a wild tangent about sexual arousal?? Where do you fit in on our scale?

We discuss the idea of emotional sadomasochism -- what is it about being mean, making someone uncomfortable, that is so hot? How does this relate to manipulation? This episode contains demonstrations throughout and calls back to our conversations about being evil or "wrong" in a relationship.

We did a lovely rope scene on the day of recording, and came to a lot of breakthroughs in terms of how kinesthetic elements relate to communication in hypnosis (as well as rope) scenes, ideas about pacing and leading, and our relationship. This was a super fun drunk episode with some good shmoopy stuff and some big thinky stuff too. Enjoy!

The book we are referencing is Georg Barkas's "Archeology of Personalities: A Linguistic Approach to Erotic Rope Bondage".

In this topic (suggested by GleefulAbandon), we dive into the idea of mixing different kinds of pain with hypnosis -- how does this work? Can pain be an induction method? What kinds of qualities should we be thinking about when considering different aspects of impact? Also, this was one of our favorite trances in a long time :)
