Hypnotherapy
My stupid wife suggested I go to this hypnotherapist to work out my smoking. I thought it seemed weird, but she insisted on it. I walk up to the receptionist and ask about my appointment. I enter the room to see a middle aged man sitting on one couch. "Hello David, my name is Adam, please sit down." He says with a smile.
"I'm only here because of my wife and I don't believe in this hypnotherapy shit anyway," I say as I sit down.
"Many don't believe at first, but they all come around." He says as he pulls out a chain. "Now I am going to sway this chain back and forth, but I want you to stare straight forwards at my nose. Do not follow the chain and do not let your gaze falter. No matter what you see, keep staring deeper and deeper directly forward." He begins to sway the chain, so I start looking straight ahead.
As the chain goes past my vision starts to distort and weirdly, Adam starts to fade away. In his place is some weird clown with a black nose. I dismiss these visions and continue to stare ahead of me, my eyes honing in on the vision of a black nose. As I stare deeper into the blackness of the nose, I start to lose consciousness until I fade into complete darkness.
Adams gaunt black smile opens to speak, "David, my true name is Zombozo. You will address me as such and will only refer to me as Adam when speaking with someone outside of me and the receptionist. You will find therapy very helpful and decide to make as many appointments as possible. You will also find that your attraction towards your wife is fading, but will pay it no attention. You will also begin to smoke less and less with every session." Zombozo snaps his fingers and David shoots awake, although David returns to seeing Zombozo as a middle aged man.
"Woah did I just black out, Zombozo?" David questions. "You had quite a good session after I put you under and we made good progress, but I think you will need some more sessions." Zombozo responds. David quickly schedules more appointments, eager to come back, although he does not exactly know why.
David comes in for his next session and sits down across Zombozo. The man puts David under again, just like the last session. Zombozo begins conditioning once again, "From now on you will see me as my true form, a clown. You will have always seen me as a clown, but will subconsciously refer to me as a human when with others, just like with my name. Furthemore, you will find you can trust me more than anyone else, even your wife, and will feel very comfortable around me. Finally, you will find your attraction towards your wife having completely dissipated and you will start to feel aroused at the idea of being submissive towards a man. You will explore these urges in secret and will not tell your wife." Zombozo commands before he snaps his finger and the session ends.
