As Friday arrived Lara was really in need of another one of those wonderous sessions. She was stressed out of her mind and her finger near constantly tugged and curled at the end of a strand of hair hanging down her face.
Ms. Baker who was looking forward to this new appointment just as much for an entirely different reason was just as stressed. The more she thought about that trigger she had left the more nervous she became that it might hugely backfire. Of course she could focus today on removing that trigger and start over implanting a new one next week but that would be a huge back set for her plans.
Like always Lara just barged into the office and took her place on the couch. Dressed to impress in her expensive skirt suit. The fact that she was playing with her hair when entering was a good sign for Ms. Baker. It gave her some hope that she wouldn't have to start all over again seeing that her hypnosis from last week still affected Lara. Still it might still be best to start over anyways, after all if she screwed up she wouldn't get another chance.
"Good evening Lara, how are you feeling today? Have you noticed any differences in your week? How would you evaluate last week's session?" Ms. Baker asked as calm as she could to this woman she hated so much. Megan had moved back home to her and her husband and after hearing more about the case and how horribly humiliating it had been for Megan, her hate for this woman on the table had only grown.
All reservations she might have had about this whole revenge ploy were swept off the table. Playing with one's hair was innocent enough but some of the things she had planned weren't as harmless. Yet after having Megan move in she only wanted to go even harder on this bitch. Sadly hypnosis wasn't something you could rush, but every session would help into moulding Lara a bit more to what she had in mind for her.
"Well it started out amazing I was completely relaxed right after our session for a change instead of having just taken off the edge. When work started again I felt like it took a little longer for the stress to get to me, and when it did it was a little less severe than usual, but in the end right now I'm just as stressed as I was last week." Lara answered.
"Hmmm that's great, I mean great progress that is. This therapy takes a while to ramp up to drastically lowering your stress. It also takes a while to get really long-lasting effects that don't fade after a week, but the fact that you already felt a clear difference is a great sign that this therapy will work wonders for you." Ms. Baker said.
What she didn't say but what was also a great sign for her plan was that up until now Lara hadn't noticed anything else than how the therapy had affected her stress. Ms. Baker hadn't thought it would be any other way yet it was still a relief.
"If you say so doc, all in all I have noticed better results than just the ranting so even if there are no huge long-term improvements, I think I'll stay with this therapy from now on." Lara casually said, not realising what she was agreeing to.
"I still hope that we'll be able to achieve some long-term progress, but if you really haven't been as relaxed as after last week's session in a long time then I think it's definitely worth it to continue even if long-term results stay out." Ms. Baker said smiling at the opportunity it provided her.
One of her concerns about her plan had been that if she didn't make enough progress Lara would give up on the therapy. On the other hand if she really made a lot of progress Lara might deem that she didn't need any more therapy before she could get to the fun part of her revenge. Right now she really got the chance to simply work on relaxing Lara in session and maybe deepening the relaxing effect of last post hypnotic command to keeping it's slight relief in stress all week long, instead of having to continue to work on lowering Lara's stress levels to the point where the therapy might become obsolete.
Maybe she could even work on some negative reinforcement instead of positive reinforcement like with the hair. It was something worth exploring but first there was another dangerous moment with the trigger she used. Since the playing with the hair had held she decided she would try using it instead of losing two weeks even though it remained risky. After all her career and revenge were on the line.
"Okay Lara, I want you to lay back now and try to relax as much as you possibly can while I prepare to take you under once more." Ms. Baker said pulling out the metronome and setting it out in front of Lara once more.
Now for the moment of truth she thought somewhat nervously "Alright Lara, just like last week I want you to focus on breathing in and out with metronome. I'm going to count down and you will relax, three, two, Lara is a stupid slut." Ms. Baker exclaimed, her heartbeat rising in an instant, fearing the worst before letting out a sigh of relief as instead she saw Lara on her couch with glazed over eyes in a trance as deep as she had been last week.
A huge smirk spread across Ms. Baker's face as she admired her handy work. She was overjoyed that it had in fact worked. Now it was time for her to get back to work on taking this trance deeper, reinforcing the trigger and her previous post hypnotic suggestion to make sure it grow harder to overcome while getting Lara to drop into a deeper more mouldable trance next time she used the trigger.
"Good Lara, now that you are back to being so deeply and pleasantly relaxed I want you to remember everything we discussed when you last felt this good. I want you to recount how playing with your hair will take the sharpest edge off your stress, while you think about that I want you to let the metronome relax you even more, just breath in and breath out with every tick as you become even more relaxed. Then next time that I speak the words 'Lara is a stupid slut you will go right back to this even deeper relaxed state." Ms. Baker softly spoke.
"Now Lara, you trust me right?" Ms. Baker asked in anticipation of her next move. She smiled as the woman on the couch gave a brief nod.
"You trust me enough to give this rather unorthodox therapy a shot. In fact you trust everything I say while you're so deep in trance. You already know that this is unorthodox, so if I tell you to do something that you'd consider strange you'd just do with it as part of the therapy, trusting that it's for your own good." Ms. Baker instructed.
"I want you to unbutton the top of your blouse and pull up your skirt for me Lara. It's important in the light of your therapy as I need to check something." Ms. Baker said taking a first highly unethical step. She wasn't aiming at stealing a glance of Lara's lingerie, this was just a check to see if her next step was even valid.
Lara moved slow in her deep trance, but after a minute or two she had managed to carry out the order. Just like Ms. Baker had expected Lara's lingerie was more aimed at comfort than anything else. Lara had never felt the need to wear sexy or fancy lingerie, being confident enough in her own natural beauty that she was certain she didn't need it to feel good about herself. It was something Ms. Baker was about to change.
"Alright Lara you did very well, you can pull your clothes back into place now while you listen very carefully to what I have to say. I can see you value comfort over looks as far as your nonvisible clothes are concerned." Ms. Baker started off.
"While I understand that wearing sexy lingerie might not make an outward difference it can help you feel more confident. In fact unless you are wearing some sexy lingerie, meaning thongs, push up bras and stocking instead of those full cut panties, that comfortable bra and the pantyhose you are currently wearing you will feel a little stressed. Just plain cotton isn't sexy either, lace, silk, satin, nylon,... is way more preferable. To help it add at least a little to your outward appearance all stockings should have a nice back seam. So even though most of your sexy lingerie will be for your eyes and knowledge only you'll never be able to feel completely stress less without." Ms. Baker explained.
It was somewhat of a risky more noticeable change than the last one, but it should work. After all there had to be occasions where Lara wore sexy lingerie to feel even more confident. She doubted the woman needed it, yet the beauty of it was that even if Lara reasoned like that only occasionally, it would feel like the reasoning for wearing sexy lingerie all the time would come from her own reasoning.
The punishment for not wearing sexy lingerie was also small, small enough to be hard to notice and link to her therapy. It would cause Lara to just feel slightly better in sexy lingerie and thus Ms. Baker hoped that's what she would wear from now on. It was something she would have to check on the woman's next visit, if it didn't work this time, she would have to make the urge a little more pressing.
For the remainder of the therapy Ms. Baker worked on enforcing the suggestions she had given as well as securing the bold trigger. It had worked wonders already, yet she hoped that as time went by she would be able to make Lara snap into a trance at any moment. Right now she still had to put the woman in a comfortable spot first before daring to use it, yet in the future she hoped she would be able to just put her in a trance the moment she walked in so she would have to talk to her anymore.
That did give her an idea however, she might not be able to use the trigger without preparing Lara for a trance just yet, but she could still limit her contact with the woman by how she made her snap out of it.
