Why does nodding 'yes' cement hypnotic suggestions?

Today’s Schauer Thoughts are a little smattering of everything with hypnotic speech for desert. Nod your head ‘yes’ if that sounds like a good time, shake your head ‘no’ if that sounds like a bad time. You’ve been a lovely audience, make sure to tip your waiter, as well as visit coat check to put your clothes back on. 

And once again, run this episode and related resources by your therapist or mental health provider so your sense of self can relieve oneself. 

“That was a stretch.” Exactly, you get it.
