Hi guys, welcome back to Shower Thoughts. My name is Sarah Shower. This is a podcast for left and right brainers.

Middle brainers, anyone with the central or peripheral nervous system, anyone with their muscles linked to their nerves.

So it should be everyone. But welcome

back. Today's episode is going to be a bit of a smattering of everything. Hopefully I'm using that

term right. I was just going to go over a couple of things today because I realized I've had

more intense podcasts over the last couple of weeks and I wanted to, you know, wind down.

Granted, one of the things I'm talking about today, which is hypnotic speech patterns, is not necessarily, it's not a light topic, but it is interesting.

I'm going to talk about, how hypnotism generally works and,

you know, like misdirection and the psychology of it. And then, you know, your nervous system and your

muscles. I won't give away too many secrets if magicians are listening. Your secrets are

mainly safe with me. But I'm going to be talking about how some

parents accidentally use some hypnotic speech commands in early childhood, and the thing is

is children are highly suggestible. I actually did read this book on magic about, like, probably a year ago.

And the magician was talking about the people who are hardest to fool our children.

But the thing is, is why that is because there is no initial connection, like a parent's connection with the magician where a child will go up and question everything.

However, when it comes to hypnotic speech coming from parents, right, the reason why they're going to be more open to suggestion is because there's an initial connection or rapport, which is essential to building trust and communication.

I actually do have like more resources on how communication and understanding is, like,

is basically how you establish trust, which is a connection, which is a setting.

You know, it's a position in your brain, and so I'm going to talk about that.

But what I'm also going to talk about is there was this Vogue article that came out recently that was um is having a boyfriend embarrassing and I've read it and I know some of you might like it or have heard of it however I do have to and I'm to briefly address this I probably will make a follow-up podcast episode on this, but being embarrassed of your boyfriend, I understand

in like the larger cultural narrative, but this is really, really going to have some disastrous

effects on compulsory heterosexuality, comp head oforet, and the sapphic community as a whole.
