106 - Exit Interview

Okay - calling this an exit interview is a bit much, but now you’ll never forget to do it.

Awkward, useful questions

• Did anything take you out of the experience?
• What was your favorite part?
• Coke or Pepsi? If they say Coke, they’re wrong. Send them back down for funishment. (If you have tacit consent for mischief.)
• What was most memorable?

Other Shit

This is a nice spot to say something like “ah, I hope / I’m glad you enjoyed your session.” This is where you’ll want to re-frame yourself out of the control of being The Hypnotist, if you’ve developed that much swagger out of the session. This might be me being superstitious - but I feel that some ‘post-hypnotic-crushes’ (transferences) develop because there was never a clean break between the two social statuses.

Like - say for instance, you have a friend that’s a dentist, and you go to see them for a regular cleaning. They remind you that you’ve got board game night tonight with them in passing, and you have an “Oh yeah, we’re hanging out later” moment.

Later - board game night happens, but your friend shows up in their dental get-up from the office, and refers to you professionally as if you were back at the office. That’d be fucking weird.

Same with - if you haven’t established yourself as Their Hypnotist, or any other sort of relationship. You just got in their brain. It’s up to you - but I like the idea of putting the act up on the clothing rack when you’re done.
