Hypnosis / Problem

[MANHUNT]

I know that everyone is able to be hypnotised. Yet one of my friends really has a problem laughing he will get completely under and be in a state of hypnosis and suddenly when I say a funny suggestion he will laugh as if his subconcious thought it was funny or something. Also he is open to easy suggestions yet when something he conciously believes is impossible or funny he acts the same while under and it usually wakes him up

Has anyone else had this problem.

Are you trying to say that one should not laugh in trance? Is this some kind of a monotone boring thing you are thinking of that must be necessary?

Exactly what was your friend "under"? Under a table, a chair, what????

That was a completely sarcastic and unecesarry response.

My question is how am I able to put him under a deeper trance so that when I say something he finds funny he does not laugh.

Manhunt, Poodle has a thing about accuracy in this matter. People do not go "under" a trance. They may go into it or enter it, but they don't go under it.

Be that as it may, the problem here is two-fold, and it isn't his, it's yours.

You assume that someone who hears something they think is funny shouldn't laugh while they are hypnotized. Of course they're going to laugh!

Part of your assumption (I assume) is that if they laugh they will exit their hypnotic state. There is absolutely no reason for them to do so.

However, if you believe they will exit hypnosis if they laugh, they probably will. When people are hypnotized they try to please the person who has hypnotized them.

This brings up the second point. It's absolutely great that you're fascinated by hypnosis! I hope you continue your interests. However, right now it's clear that you don't have adequate training. I would suggest that you take an in-person class in hypnosis. It will answer your questions.

And by the way, if somebody starts laughing when I have hypnotized them I use that to intensify the trance and help them go deeper. That's something you'll learn when you get some training.

Good luck!

My first question was very valid as I really wanted to know what poster thought as I really did not understand the question well.

The second was, of course, an effort to clean up language which didn't work as it was used again in the next post.

That tiny little word "under" is VERY IMPORTANT. Under implies we have total control over the client as in under our total power. This is not hypnosis. One silly little word misused can make or break a whole session or even if the client wishes to enter trance.

Why on earth would you want to have him stop laughing?

In a week or so, I am M Cing the roast of a very dear friend, and I sure hope to have them laughing non stop, and I have to do it without hypnosis damn it.

Maybe a little metaphor work with lovely embeds to just get them in the mood to laugh ALOT? Unless they are hypnotists, they'll never know it came and went. You can innocently say: "I was just relating some stories." I know, there's a touch of _______ in me. Pood
