Commentary: The Psychology and Future of Hypnosis

The world is changing in many ways: technology is evolving, the economy is entering a new phase with the advent of cryptocurrency, and wars in this age are fought increasingly with information leaks as opposed to guns and bombs. The COVID-19 pandemic is rattling the globe, and we have only begun to see the effects that will ripple forth from it. When change muddles the once-delineated path to security and success for the average person, it incites tremendous anxiety within him.  Change, for the same reasons that humans find it exciting, is terrifying. Having to be unconventional in our problem-solving in order to survive in this new age is as draining as it is stimulating.I can hear your query through the screen: "Melania, what does this have to do with hypnosis?" Think about how exhausting it is to manage oneself in a rapidly changing environment. Right and wrong decisions (in terms of their likelihood of generating success in finance, career, etc.) become harder to define. Those willing to exert the energy needed to adapt those definitions to suit their evolving situations will fare better than the unwilling. This problem-solving has a cost, however: mental fatigue.After a long day at work, people feel mentally exhausted. What do they do to rest their minds? They zone out while marathoning their favorite TV shows, allowing their devices to… program them, so to speak. Programming acts as an iron that smooths the myriad wrinkles in a tired mind. Well, as the world changes and they must become even more mentally engaged and creative to maintain their income, employment, housing and other aspects of their lives, many of them will begin to crave programming of a more acute flavor: hypnosis.Hypnosis is essentially mental bondage. It is one thing to shame a submissive’s penis size, or to simply require that he address me as ‘Mistress’. It is quite another to literally repeat mantras to him or force him to repeat them. The only variety in the verbiage of our communication is that which I allow. He remains under my strict control for the duration of our session, which frees him from the responsibility of self-governance for a while. In addition, those repeated phrases act as a familiar constant in a world that is constantly shifting shape.Taking charge of oneself and one’s life gets old quickly, and those who prefer to be sexually submissive enjoy relinquishing control to another person. When the needs created by the demands of their daily lives align with their sexual proclivities, they seek more intense relief. In fact, because said proclivities are often shaped by those daily demands, I expect that more people will engage in hypnosis for psychosexual repose in the coming years.If you are interested in engaging in hypnosis with me, contact me.Melania May is a content creator on AVN Stars.
