Relationship advice about hypno

Probably not an uncommon topic but wanted to ask if anyone has had this encounter before.

I've been with my current GF for almost 3 years now and I've told her about my interest in Hypno before but we've never really tried anything. I brought it up again recently and I wanted to try hypnotizing them, they said they were open and excited about it and all was going well.

We had a whole talk about how it's something that you can only do if you're willing and open to it. How you need to want to be hypnotized on SOME level to actually be hypnotized and she was all for it. Roll around to trying it out using a necklace for a pocket watch they couldn't take it seriously. When we started she keep giggling and laughing at the actual process of watching the pendant. She kept joking and making puns about anything i was saying (which i think was out of nervousness because she isn't normally like that)

Overall It wasn't a bad experience but obviously not the intended outcome. I was wanting to know if anyone had a similar experience where their partner didn't take it seriously and so wasn't really able to be hypnotized. Or if anyone has any advice on the matter.

First and foremost, it's about communication. Express to your GF that while you had a good time, you'd like to try again with a more serious attempt. Them not taking it seriously hindered the experience, and as a result... well, there WAS no result.
Make it clear you appreciate them giving it a shot at all, but maybe find a compromise that works for you both in regards to a session.
Also fake it til you make it, with the confidence. It's hard, but it works. Make it seem like you really know what you're doing, unless you'd have to straight lie about something when asked a question; don't lie.

A swinging pendulum might be a classic staple of hypnosis, but it might be cliche enough to be very distracting if you are both trying to learn. It might be better to ask her to close her eyes and give her an verbal induction without a visual focus first.

yeah, verbal/text/audio inductions are for the most part superior to visual every time

A verbal induction with a spiral could do the trick too.

I have only ever verbally induced my GF of 4 years once or twice, usually accomponied by a massage. She goes under pretty easily.

Reading this makes me want to try this with them again.

Have you considered showing them some hypnoporn vids? Like, hypnoporn can be cringe, but, if there's a particular style of that you'd like to emulate, you could show her a video you think is good. Either she thinks it's terrible and the whole thing just isn't for her, or she sees how a subject is supposed to behave and learns to play along.

Alternatively, just stress to them that hypnosis isn't *really* real; that it is just something you want her to play along with. It's like a roleplay thing - you both gotta take it seriously, even if it is super dumb from an outside perspective. Who knows, maybe afterwards, she says she really did feel something like trance! Or she just thinks it's fun. Or she doesn't like it! But at least you'd get to make a more serious attempt.

This feels like that meme of the four people complaining about how much they have to go through. I remember a manga version:

Average Shonen Reader: "Agh, I have to wait a whole week!"

AoT fan: "You kidding? We have to wait months!"

HunterxHunter fan: "We have to wait so long for new chapters!"

Berserk fan: "You guys are getting chapters?"

~~

I feel like that last guy, just replace chapters with both IRL hypnosis and a significant other.

Now I need to have some wet-eye alone time in my corner after thinking about that.

Thanks for the advice hub. General consensus seems to be try verbal and more guided meditation type stuff. Thanks for the tips I'll give it a shot :)
