Question:

How do I get myself hypnotized to believe I’m a girl?

Answer:

The first and most important question to ask is why do you want this?

Are you female wanting to feel moreso, male who is transitioning, male who has this as a sexual fetish, something else completely? Without understanding the why, it’s impossible to realistically discuss the how. Regardless of the answer to that, for short-term experiences, hypnosis can guide you into a relaxed, open-minded state where adopting a different identity or perception is relatively straightforward. Most competent hypnotists have the techniques to achieve this temporary shift. That doesn’t mean they will do it, just they have the skillbase to do it. For long term effects, it varies. It may be easy, it may be impossible, but it’s more than likely going to lie somewhere in the middle. Exactly where in the middle depends on several factors (including the answer to the opening question). Another thing that may impact the posthypnotic suggestions longevity is how others perceive you and how vocal they are about that. If they believe you to be masculine and repeatedly tell you this. It will chip away at the suggestion you are a girl and may leave nothing behind. So it’s possible you may need regular hypnotic ‘top-ups’ to keep it effective.

While hypnosis is a powerful tool, it’s not a standalone solution to achieving a permanent shift in identity or perception. Depending on your motivation and goals, it might be just one part of a broader journey that includes self-reflection, counseling, or even changes in how you relate to others.

Ultimately, from that question alone, nobody can say.
