"Before we begin, I'd like to describe the goals we're going to be working to achieve with today's session. If these goals don't interest you, or if you don't feel safe and comfortable with them, you can simply make the choice to stop listening and find a different experience to enjoy. You are always in control of your trance state, and any suggestions you hear will only apply if you feel safe and comfortable accepting them.
"The goal of today's trance is to train you to enjoy the experience of being depersonalized, and to assist you in attaining a state of mind where you see yourself as an object to be acted upon. This is distinct and separate from degradation and humiliation; you can still believe that you have worth and value, even while operating under the belief that you have no agency or will. There are no specific hypnotic triggers I'm asking you to accept-we're going to teach your mind to recognize situations that are invitations to enter a state of disassociation and objectification, and to enjoy those experiences when they occur. This is more flexible and open-ended than a trigger, and may result in you entering disassociative states unexpectedly... although, again, only when it is safe and comfortable for you to do so.
"Although there are points in this session where you may be encouraged to pay less conscious attention to the hypnotist, there are no direct amnesia suggestions incorporated into this session, and no suggestions or triggers that are intended to be forgotten after the session is over. Even so, spontaneous amnesia does happen to some people during hypnosis, so you may find yourself experiencing difficulty recalling details of the trance experience. If you enjoy forgetting your trances, your mind is going to work to make that happen. You have permission to remember or to forget as much of this session as you want-again, within the boundaries of what is safe and comfortable for you.
"This session contains instructions to disrobe and masturbate. If you believe you will have difficulty resisting these instructions, please wait until you have some privacy to begin. If you do not feel safe or comfortable following any of the described suggestions or instructions, this would be a good place for you to stop. Otherwise, please get comfortable for me so that we can begin.
"It's important to understand as we begin that many people are strongly attracted to erotic hypnosis precisely because of the inherent appeal of objectification. Society often places a high value on independence and autonomy, which can make it uncomfortable at times to admit an attraction to surrendering your agency and sense of self, but it's not that unusual at all. You can value the right to make your own decisions, and still honestly say that sometimes it feels a little too much like work.
"It's okay to say that. We all feel that way sometimes. Just look back on your day today. From the very beginning, when you had to decide whether to get up or hit the snooze button on your alarm, you were faced with a host of decisions. Some large, some small; some easy, some very very difficult. But every one of them required your conscious, active input, from the clothing you selected to your meal choices to your plans for your daily activities. Each one of them used up mental energy as you weighed the pros and cons, considered each alternative, and forced yourself to accept the responsibility of your irrevocable choice.
"It's almost exhausting just thinking about it. All those decisions, all those options, and every single one of them relying on you. The more you go back through your day, the more you notice how much work it was to make all those choices. They seem to weigh heavier and heavier the more you consider them, the more you examine each alternative and wonder whether you could have done better. Could you have worked harder? Did you need more rest and relaxation? Was that the right outfit, was that the best meal, did you need to go to work today, did you have to stay home? It's all important, and that very importance is what makes it such a burden on your weary mind.
"It's enough to make you want to give up on deciding completely for a little while, to let someone else make all those decisions for you so that you don't even have to think about them. And the less you think, the more relaxed and peaceful you're going to feel as all those burdens of thought and choice and will float away and out of your mind, leaving you wonderfully empty and relaxed. You can already picture how wonderful it would be to give up control completely for a little while, to let go of even the self that makes those decisions so that all you need to do is instinctively, automatically, mindlessly follow instructions. Just like a toy. Just like a plaything. It's fun to play with a toy, but it's even more fun to let go and become a toy for a little while, isn't it? Of course it is.
"If you like, you can imagine the trance state as a little shelter inside your mind, a blissfully empty space that your consciousness can enter whenever it feels safe and comfortable to do so. You can go inside whenever you're with someone you trust, whenever you need a break from the weight of all that thought, all that independence. You can give it to someone else and simply let go for a while. We can construct it together, if you'd like. We can envision together a little quiet room in the deepest part of your subconscious where you can keep your sense of self while you're not using it, and as we do so you'll find it becoming more and more real around you.
"Perhaps you can picture it as a blank, white room, quiet and free of distractions. It's okay if you want to give it a different color, like a gentle pink or a soft, soothing blue; all you need to do is imagine the smooth, empty walls around you in exactly the shade you want, and it will happen. Perhaps those walls curve gently, like a cocoon neatly and easily enfolding your mind in gentle, peaceful repose; perhaps they stand up straight and tall, keeping you safe and comfortable inside and holding out the rest of the world. However you want to see this space in your mind is just fine. It belongs to you, a safe and quiet and calm place for you to rest while the world outside keeps moving.
"Perhaps it has a bed, or a chair for you to rest on. You're in here to rest, after all, to give up the exhausting burden of all those tedious thoughts for a while and simply obey. Maybe you can picture your conscious mind reclining, or even lying down, relaxing so deeply and thoroughly that even the idea of your ideas are sleeping now inside your head. You can let your subconscious mind take over the job of listening and following instructions for a while. It's okay. Your subconscious knows how to move your body when you're doing something you don't need to think about, and your subconscious knows how to pay attention to the world around you when you're relaxed and focused on something else. Let it do its job. You just focus on your soft, quiet space.
"And you can picture a window, if you'd like; if you want to observe what your body is doing, watching your own actions from another vantage point through the thick glass, it's okay to envision yourself looking through that window and seeing everything happen, all on its own without any input from you at all. You're only an onlooker when you stare through that window, just an observer of your body's actions from the deep, safe space of your own quiet room. You don't need to tell your body to do anything, just watch. And you can always add a pair of curtains, if you want to relax more completely and not even know what's going on outside your quiet room for a while.
"And most importantly, there's a door. You can imagine that door as a sturdy bank vault, or a cozy oaken panel, or whatever it is you'd like to imagine, but there are two very important things that are true of every door to everyone's quiet space. The first is that the door seals perfectly; once the door closes and you go into the quiet space in your head, making it more and more real and vivid as you concentrate your conscious mind on it completely, there's nothing from outside that gets in. You can see it, if you want, through the window onto yourself, but everything else is left behind. The person outside the quiet space is just a plaything. Just what's left behind when you're not there anymore.
