Should I get Sleepy?: The Induction Part 2

Every hypnotist has their own representation of where a subject goes when they are deep in hypnosis. Often there is only the instruction and the hypnotist. I prefer to have a more visualized approach for the subject, it makes it more tactile, and it allows them to mull over the imagery outside of trance as well (if they remember that is)

For this, I tend to use The Box.

Think of it as a representation of the subconscious, a place where all the senses are brought to in order to process and make up who we are. It's not a concrete place, mere a representation of the container that is our psyche. I use this consistently because expectation can be an important part to add to that prestige. Not everyone has a 'box' per se. and many others have visual representations of their head space I can't even parse at first glance sometimes.

More importantly the box is supposed to represent a safe barrier between the conscious world (as well as the hypnotist) and the subject. You are being invited into an intimate space with the subject. For this kind of thing, I feel it's important to establish that boundary as part of the process. The Hypnotist is not some all powerful figure forcing their way into the subject's mind. It is an invitation.

And it's only proper decorum to knock and wait to be allowed in.

I'm sorry this has taken so long, The first time around I wanted to revise and rewrite what I had initially presented so as to be as careful as I can. I've spoken in great details to other hypnotists, subjects and therapists to make sure this is handled safely and ethically.

I hope you are enjoying the comic so far!
