And today, I listened to a file (not from here) that gives the listener a suggestion that for an hour after listening, they won't be able to complete a thought, or complete a sentence.
It worked!
For the specified hour, I just couldn't get a whole sentence out. I was excited about it working, but (naturally) had a little trouble sharing it with people in hypnosis-related chats.

I'm looking forward to building on this. I'm really hoping that successes like this will help my brain/mind get used to the idea of hypnosis working on me as intended, and improving my ability to accept suggestions and go deeper in trance. A world of possibility is starting to open up, and I'm excited about improving and seeing where this goes.
