Hypnotizing a stubborn friend

[raptorautomatic]

I am going to be hypnotizing my friend (and first person) soon. I've found her to be pretty suggestible but she says she's "not easily hypnotized or relaxed despite being easily influenced." While this has yet to be seen, any suggestions?

She's also mostly of the belief that hypnosis doesn't work but hopefully that will change. :twisted: Any general tips/suggestions are also welcome.

We've discussed it before and she's willing to let me give it a try, but she still doesn't seem all that convinced it's going to work. On the other hand, she has seemed to have warmed up to the idea and is more open to it than before ("think it may be amusing" vs "hypnosis is bs and it's not going to work.")

I figure that while she's consciously willing, her subconscious may be a little more difficult to work with. I guess I will only know when it comes to it, though I'm fairly confident I will be able to work with her to some small degree.

And by no means am I expecting to work miracles on the first try. I'm fickle enough as it is when it comes to recordings so I know results are far from instantaneous in most cases. Even then, she's the first person I've felt comfortable with in approaching about this subject (at least in wanting to practice on someone) so once I get confident enough with that I hope to branch out to other people.
