How many of y’all believe in hypnotism?

Wait. How many have actually been bonafide hypotized?

I have and it’s still traumatizing.

By whom?

fiatlux423 · Jun 20, 2018 at 5:24 pm

I’ll tell you some other time I don’t want to get into it.

Maybe I shouldn’t go down this path 🤔

Do not hynotize someone with a history

fiatlux423 · Jun 20, 2018 at 5:29 pm

Licensed hypnotists have to take continuing education in ethics courses. Not all of them keep up with that and it can be A Problem. Especially if they’re just generally not great people to begin with. So yeah, someone without a good moral compass could try to take some liberties and it’s not pleasant. Especially when they think they can “fix” someone like a mental illness or painful memories.

tcr! tcr! · Jun 20, 2018 at 5:33 pm

Are you saying I have a mental illness? Because that’s what I’m saying.

fiatlux423 · Jun 20, 2018 at 5:34 pm

I inferred it. ;) But I do, and someone thought they could do something about that and that person is a fucking psycho.

I’ve never been hypnotized myself but, despite my generally skeptical outlook, I think it’s legit. I know a licensed hypnotist whom I trust. One thing is that people vary widely in their degree of susceptibility.

tcr! tcr! · Jun 20, 2018 at 8:01 pm

Who licenses the hypnotists?

pynn · Jun 21, 2018 at 7:56 am

“Licensed” may be the wrong term. She is “certified” by these folks https://new.ngh.net

fiatlux423 · Jun 21, 2018 at 7:58 am

I don’t know who the person I dealt with was “certified” or “licensed” with. The whole thing was very shady. I don’t trust the whole scene.

pynn · Jun 21, 2018 at 8:00 am

I think that’s reasonable. I don’t trust the whole scene either, just this one person.

I had a 3 month psych rotation when I was in nurses training. One of the psych instructors tried hypnotizing several of us student nurses - it was not successful

Momma J Momma J · Jun 20, 2018 at 11:39 pm

He was unable to hypnotize us

tcr! tcr! · Jun 21, 2018 at 2:26 pm

I think it definitely takes a special kind set of people for it

Red faced robot

Audio (MP3): 20180620 - Red faced robot

Red faced robot

So I have this thing that I’ve been doing ever since I was a teenager. It’s not a healthy thing and I’ve struggled to let go of it ever since I stopped drinking.

Most of the time I don’t even realize I’m doing it until after I’ve already done it.

In the last several weeks I realized just how bad the behavior is. How it takes me out of the moment and distracts me from all that I have and all that’s truly important.

Ok. We’re both pretty sure it wasn’t anything monstrous. I doubt he’s capable of anything our imaginations can conjure. I’m on your side, Jeanie. :)

Maggie: What? No.

Maggie: You were totally serious about that.

Reich Between the Eyes on the Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus soundtrack

tcr! · Jun 19, 2018 at 12:57 pm

Audio (MP3): 20180619 - Reich Between the Eyes

Peeps, the soundtrack for Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus was released today digitally. I’m sure you’ve all been waiting for it just as I have. I’ve only listened to the first five songs but it’ll punch you in the teeth for sure. If you’re into that.

Reich Between the Eyes will be one song I’ll never listen to while driving for sure. I can feel the road rage amplifying already.

Also, Bethesda put the whole album up as one animated still on YouTube if you need it. Two and a half hours of solid Wolfenstein hard hitting velocity.

The next time I’m angry cleaning I’m just going to throw the latter up on my family room TV and get to it.

And lastly, while I’ve been waiting for the Wolfenstein and Tomb Raider sequels, I’ve been playing way too much Fallout 4.
