What is subject agency? Why would you want agency in your mind control? Everyone keeps saying to use your subject agency, but how do you actually do that? How can you build a subject's agency, while still letting them feel controlled? Both subjects and hypnotists are invited to learn the answers to these questions and more in this workshop full of skills for both subjects and hypnotists, interactive demos, and mind-bending theories about your brain from the cutting-edge of cognitive science.
