Is it actually possible to hypnotize someone to act like a chicken? I've read some stories about it, and there are a bunch of videos on YouTube, but they seem scripted and fake. Would the hypnosis work if someone already wanted to act like a chicken deep down or had taken drugs beforehand?https://www.reddit.com/r/hypnosis/comments/tqxmlv/just_got_hypnotized_to_act_like_a_chicken/https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/p2o45n/aita_for_hypnotizing_my_friend_to_believe_hes_a/https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x4C_uJ1f8_Y https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=17mNU3lHFUI There's this comment under this youtube video>My wife had this done right after her talking soo much shiiiig to a woman hypnotist. But they made her lay eggs sbd it seriously hurt her only part where I lost it. But I love the chicken thing esp how they slowly become one
>Is stage hypnosis real?Mostly no>Is it actually possible to hypnotize someone to act like a chicken?Absolutely yes. You can be hypnotized to do anything you aren't fundamentally opposed to and most people aren't fundamentally opposed to acting like a chicken.The problem with stage hypnosis is different people have different levels of resistance to different types of induction and the odds of you landing on a technique to quickly induce trance on an only moderately compliant random subject you've never tested hypnosis on before is low. And this is setting aside the fact that on a stage isn't the best environment to induce trance.But yes, it is technically possible to fully induce someone in just a couple sentences or a few minutes of relaxation techniques and coaching and have them clucking like a chicken from there if they are vulnerable to that type of induction.
>>16544074the big secret behind audience participation stage acts is the kind of people who go to these shows and willingly go up on stage also tend to readily play along and act out in the ways expected
>>16544122>You can be hypnotized to do anything you aren't fundamentally opposed to and most people aren't fundamentally opposed to acting like a chicken.What does it mean to be fundamentally opposed in this context? If someone believes it's impossible to be hypnotized to act like a chicken and would be embarrassing would that mean they're fundamentally opposed to it?>But yes, it is technically possible to fully induce someone in just a couple sentences or a few minutes of relaxation techniques and coaching and have them clucking like a chicken from there if they are vulnerable to that type of induction.Is it possible for someone to hypnotize themselves? There's a bunch of videos on youtube for people to hypnotize themselves to act like a chicken would those work? Example https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qJFDqV2VpQo>>16544126That makes sense too
>>16544074at my highschool graduation school-held party they brought in one of these people who brought up like 9 volunteers. 1 guy got hella violent pretty early on and the dude running the thing brought him to the side and put him to sleep for the rest of the event, and then woke him up when it was overhe had them doing all sorts of stuff. They were jumping up on the chairs, using cups as binoculars, cheering on the horse they were betting their life savings on in a race, holding a baby chicken... if i remember correctly i think he wanted them to protect the baby chick, but one guy must have not heard right, because he just crushed it to death in his hand with his other fist LOL, shit was crazy bonkers.on the bus after the event, all the students said they had no memory of the entire thingthe guy claimed he learned this whole thing from some dude in chine, some master of the art
>>16544177That's interesting. Do you think it's likely they were preselected and told what to do beforehand or were just acting?
>>16544126Right, attention whores who now get a socially acceptable excuse to act like retards (drawing attention to themselves). It's entirely deliberate.
>>16544208What about people in the comments of self hypnosis youtube videos who say it works for them?
>>16544130>What does it mean to be fundamentally opposed in this context?Unwilling. Hypnosis is a form of persuasion. Trance is an altered mental state, but you're still conscious during it (albeit you can actually go so deep you dissociate). If you don't want to do shit, the hypnotist can't make you. All hypnosis does in terms of suggestion is relax you, lower your inhibitions, and make you pliant. It obviously does other shit too which is why you can use it for pain relief and why you *shouldn't* rely on it for memory recovery, but this explanation is focused on the whole chicken clucking thing.>Is it possible for someone to hypnotize themselves?Yes and self hypnosis will even be a component of certain applications of hypnotherapy. Entering trance is easy. Issuing suggestions would probably require recordings if you want to stay under though.>There's a bunch of videos on youtube for people to hypnotize themselves to act like a chicken would those work?You can be inducted by all sorts of shit. I'm vulnerable to nonsense rhyme. That said I wouldn't call those videos the most reliable induction method and I'd question how well any suggestions they provide hold up.The best induction method I'm aware of is go in a dark, quiet room, set up a point of light like a candle or a flashlight pointed at the wall, sit down facing it, get comfortable, count down in your head from 10 at whatever pace feels natural to you while letting your eyelids close again at whatever pace feels natural, while doing that visualize some physical metaphor for the stress leaving your body, then do the countdown shtick again once you've finished counting/closed your eyes/gotten comfortable, but this time visualize descending a stairs to some happy/comfortable/safe place. Try it if you just want to feel trance.Note: Do not muck with your/people's heads w/o medical supervision. If you just want to relax, meditation is faster/safe. Hypnosis can do nasty shit like implant false memories.

If someone believes it's impossible to be hypnotized to act like a chicken and would be embarrassing would that mean they're fundamentally opposed to it?One time I got roofied by a homosexual in a bar. I went back to his place and told him all kinds of secrets. Totally under his power. Then when he said it was time to get naked? I knocked him tfo and stumbled out into the street. When I came to my senses with the rising of the sun, I even had bloodwork done in case the faggot tried to press charges. Of course he didn’t dare.Call me a Super Straight, I guess.

>>16544074Yes, it is realt. hobby hypnotist
>>16544074I have yet to see a convincing evidence for hypnosis in general. Is it the same as brainwashing? How does it work?I know animals can be hypnotised, but it's not the "suggestion" type of hypnotism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlBDWXDGDzg
>>16544074They had one of those acts visit our school. My smartass classm8 absolutely refused to play along. Shit got awkward, he got told to get off the stage and sit down. He still talks about how it's bullshit over 10 years later.
>>16544334you might fold under questioning thoughso we have to wack you
The chicken would have had to always been inside them.
>>16548682>I have yet to see a convincing evidence for hypnosis in general.Trance literally shows up in brain scans.I think there's a broad public misconception regarding hypnosis as a pseudoscience. The quackery isn't that hypnosis is a thing. It's what hypnosis can do.
>>16544299>I'm vulnerable to nonsense rhyme.I would like to hear more about your experience with this as it struck a chord with me.I have developed an almost automatic habit of making up and singing silly nonsense songs to myself as a way of breaking anxious thought spirals. Usually, I will wake up and as I begin to imagine the steps of the day, a silly song will start to form in my head. Nonsence, rhythmic, and rhyming.I have found myself doing it on subways while going to work, the tone signals before a station announcement gets subvocalized (sort of an echolalia thing) which then become the opening bar of a nonsence song.I recognize this as a self-soothing technique. I guess you would call it self-hypnosis.
>>16548800My cognitive behavioral therapist experimented with a variety of induction techniques on me back when I was seeing her and one of the things she tried was this Doctor Seuss sounding bullshit and it put me under fucking immediately.Only thing I remember about it was one line "two and two is four but too is also also". I blacked out in just a few sentences (I dissociate under trance, so I don't remember the experience, which from what she told me is fairly rare). It was way quicker than any other induction technique she tried.
>>16548806Thank you.>"two and two is four but too is also also"That's a nice line all on it's own. It'll probably show up in tomorrow's "Squids and frogs and polliwogs" song.
>>16548806>two and two is four but too is also alsonice one, i'll try it out
>>16548806>”two and two is four but too is also also”. I blacked out in just a few sentenceskek’d hard thanks for thatHow would you find out what hypnotic inductions certain people, others are yourself, are particularly susceptible to? >>16544299>issuing suggestions would probably require recordings if you want to stay underWhat do you mean? How are suggestions issued when someone is under trance? How can you tell if you have successfully entered yourself or others into trance?Can suggestions have lasting effects after the subject is taken out of trance?Would there anyway bringing someone under trance without them knowing, hypothetically?
>>16548851>How would you find out what hypnotic inductions certain people, others are yourself, are particularly susceptible to?Working with them to test various induction methods, of which there are a lot>What do you mean?I mean trying to talk to yourself under trance is likely to break trance.>How are suggestions issued when someone is under trance?Talking to them>How can you tell if you have successfully entered yourself or others into trance?In my case, it's simple after the fact because I black out. During the trance, the hypnotist will generally ask test questions/requests. Stuff like raising a finger. I don't have my session tapes anymore, but I would suggest looking that up on your own.>Can suggestions have lasting effects after the subject is taken out of trance?It's literally used for therapy. Yes, obviously.>Would there anyway bringing someone under trance without them knowing, hypothetically?Depends on the person and how susceptible they are to different induction methods. There are induction methods that don't read as trying to put someone in a trance and obviously you can conceal an induction method as something else entirely, eg a relaxation technique. It'd be unethical and potentially dangerous to do so though.Also, bear in mind people are conscious during a trance, so they can potentially snap out of it if you upset them and they will usually remember anything you've said afterward. People that consistently black out/dissociate from hypnosis like me are more uncommon than not.
>>16548697in what ways did he refuse? like not follow wit his eyes, the waving clock in front of him or what?
>>16548901>Working with them to test various induction methods, of which there are a lotCould you give me a list?
>>16553255No.
>>16553277Wow, rude. Well, can you point me towards a reputable source that can help me learn more about this kind of stuff?
>>16553286No. And rude would have been to have left you hanging. I would look up clinical hypnosis resources. I'm not a trained hypnotist. I'm someone that underwent hypnotherapy and had conversations with a therapist trained in hypnosis. I have a rudimentary grasp of the subject, but for deep dives you're better off doing your own research.tl;dr I'm not google
>>16553076To play along. He just sat there like a good lad, but there was no playing chicken, no going to sleep, he just sat there and eventually started to laugh like the smartass he was (and still is), because things got awkward.
It's important they keep souvenirs.
>>16553534People love their voided packaging. God does too. From banana peels to tombs.
>>16544126They believe that they can be hypnotized, so their brains tell them that they are.Yes, the average person really is that stupid.
>>16553796Can one be hypnotized if they believe that people can be hypnotized conditionally on believing they can be hypnotized?
