How do you go about establishing hypnotic intention? Is it actually an important part of a dynamic? What should you consider intentionally as a subject vs as a tist? Is it important that the intentions match?
Before approaching any hypnosis session you should focus on establishing hypnotic intention. This could be a goal, a sensation, a corruption (yummy), anything. This is not just for the D-type or the Hypnotist. It is important for both (or all) people involved to create an intention for the experience. Hypnosis is all about intent. There is someone I know how would argue that intention is all you need to send someone into trance. But it is more than that, more than words and experiences. It is about what you want and need from the experience.
Which person is responsible for establishing hypnotic intention?
Is it the Dominant or the submissive that figures it out? Like any dynamic, erotic hypnosis based or not, the experience is shared, the responsibility is shared. What do you want out of the experience? Do you want to feel stronger, weaker? Do you want to share moments of vulnerability? Are you establishing a hypnotic intention focused on silliness and fun?
Neither side can make the decision without the other. Do you intend to have some silliness? Share that with your partner because if they are seeking the experience as something akin to behaviour modification. This plays into negotiations. But it goes beyond that, there is the intention as an experience together and there is an intention for you.
Establishing hypnotic intention for yourself?
This is something for you outside of the dynamic. Maybe your intention is to work on your agency. Perhaps it is to work on a new induction. Maybe your intention is to be so in tune with your partner that the division between you is almost none existent. There are so many different ways to look at it.
The main point, imo, is to make sure you actually think about the experience and what you want from it.
