I’m a therapist and also trained in hypnotherapy. It is possible or but harder IMO. I just tell people to “pretend” instead of “visualize.”

“Pretend you are standing at the top of a staircase” is something most people can do even if they don’t get a visual. It’s “a felt sense.”

You can do this test: if you pretend or imagine to bite into a lemon, do you start to salivate a bit even if you can’t see it in your mind’s eye? If yes, you can be hypnotized. If no, doesn’t mean you can’t, but it means there will be extra work.

“Vibes of an Apple” are fine. You don’t need to see it, just to have a felt sense of it for the most part. Of course, everyone is different, and I cannot say this would work for everyone.

My husband did once after biting into a spoiled tuna sandwich despite my warnings in order to prove his stomach was strong.

He is normally a very smart man, but not that day.

I have a dachshund and can confirm that the feet are accurate. At least that’s what they feel like under the covers at night.

Mmm, lengua tacos.

I am sorry for your loss, they look like wonderful boys.

Obligatory Rainbow Bridge if you haven’t heard it:

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together…

Oh man, it’s not playing right in Voyager. I’ll check on desktop.

Something like that… it’s called gekkering: https://youtube.com/shorts/T1wXjuPXPBQ

My son was in 8th grade, he lost prime socialization time. It really pains me to see him struggle to make social connections now.

I can see it.

Well, she IS phenomenal, and the art IS excellent. The shark takes the cake. 13/10, would upvote again.

It sounds like this: https://youtube.com/shorts/6Sl4Gqc8P8s

Nah, just the [email protected] community mod 😂

Ok, fine, I confess. I just really like bats…

The skunk should be a bat. We need a flying type.

Not other things good either.

What do you mean by that? The standards of education or mental health in schools?

In the U.S., schools are funded by property taxes, so schools in rich areas are fine, although educational standards suck across the nation.

Depends on the person. I’m a therapist, tons of my clients are very upset, scared, crying, having trouble sleeping, depressed, feeling powerless and angry, etc.

This administration’s actions are taking a huge toll on some people’s mental health.

And people who are trans or gay? They are scared and many want to get out but can’t.

Having said all that… there are plenty of people who are not bothered because they are not informed and don’t realize how bad things really are.

On fingers? Look, some of us need an abacus.

Edit: I also distinctly remember the claim that humans fart 14 times a day on average. Are you telling me this figure was just made up? Without counting the farts with smart underwear?! That’s a travesty. I was spreading misinformation this whole time.
