This class covers some intense and edge-play topics such as gaslighting, amnesia, humiliation, and degradation. Topics include how to disorient, confuse, distract, and otherwise twist up your partner in fun and unique ways while being safe and informed.
We'll also go over several varieties and intensities of gaslighting, post-hypnotic amnesia/suggestions, and how to use common tools like fractionation to nudge and help guide your partner to a more vulnerable headspace. This also includes how to do this as safely and ethically as possible and covers how to identify red flags and anchor yourself against any unwanted advances.
Jason (he/him) has been practicing, studying, and occasionally teaching about hypnosis for roughly two decades. The only thing he enjoys more than learning about it is being able to share it with others with a belief that "the best brain is no brain at all." He's able to be found on Fetlife and a variety of other online forums under the pseudonym "Mister Captain".
