“I wanted to show you this, doctor…”

The muscular panda handed over a large trophy to the smiling, burly fox sat across from him. He took it and gave it an appreciative look.

“Very nice, Victor.” Said the doctor.

“Only third place,” the panda shrugged. “But not bad for my first professional bodybuilding competition.”

“It’s very good for your first competition.” Said the fox. “Don’t diminish the accomplishment with unnecessary self-depreciation.”

“I’m sorry.” Victor said, meekly. “I guess I still haven’t completely shaken off my old bad habits.”

“Yes, there is still room for improvement.” The fox agreed. “But you have made a lot of very good progress.”

“Well, that’s thanks to you, Dr. Petersen.” Victor smiled. “Without you and your hypnotherapy sessions helping me build my confidence, I never would have been able to pursue my dream of becoming a pro-bodybuilder.”

The fox placed the trophy on the table beside his chair. “I’m glad I could help, Victor. Now, how about we proceed with today’s session?”

“Sure thing, doctor!” Victor sat back and made himself comfortable, readying himself for what came next. He closed his eyes and focused on the doctor’s voice.

“Just listen to my voice.” Petersen said. “Concentrate on it, let yourself relax as I say the words: Deep Asleep Panda.”

All conscious thought fled the big panda’s mind as he heard that trigger phrase, his whole body relaxing and slumping in his seat, easily slipping into a very deep hypnotic trance.

Watching this happen, Dr. Petersen smiled, pleased with how easy it had become to put Victor under. Well, after many months of regular hypnosis sessions, it wasn’t really surprising, but it still pleased him nonetheless. Because it meant he could get to the fun part that much quicker.

“How are you feeling, Victor?” The fox asked.

“Very good…” The panda said dreamily. “Very relaxed… Very happy…”

“That’s excellent, Victor, my dear boy.” Petersen said. “And still feeling confident?”

“Yes, doctor.” Victor replied. “Oh, so very confident, just like you taught me to be, just like you helped me to be…”

“Confident enough to…?” The fox prompted.

“Confident enough to do anything.” Victor said, repeating the mantra the doctor had engrained into his subconscious over many months. “Confident enough to overcome my fears and follow my dreams. Confident enough to trust you completely and do whatever you tell me.”

Petersen’s smile widened. “Very good, Victor. Now, for today’s session, we’re going to celebrate your success in the competition, and I’m going to give you an opportunity to show your gratitude to me for helping you so much. You’d like to do that, wouldn’t you?”

“Yes, doctor.” The muscular panda agreed. “That sounds great… want to thank you so much…”

The fox restrained himself from laughing at that. Of course Victor felt that way, after he’d spent so much time ensuring the panda would be forever grateful and appreciative and admiring of his beloved and completely trustworthy hypnotherapist.

Instead, he said. “Well, I would love to see your bodybuilding routine up close. Would you be confident enough to perform it for me, here and now?”

“Confident enough to do anything…” The hypnotized panda said.

“Unfortunately,” Petersen said. “We don’t have your posing trunks, so you’ll have to do it naked. Are you confident enough for that?”

He was about to respond, but Victor suddenly faltered and frowned in his trance. “I... I don’t…”

Suppressing a moment of panic that perhaps he’d gone to far and his subject was about to snap awake, Petersen thought fast, speaking soothingly. “It’s okay, Victor, just relax. Focus on my voice. Relax, everything is fine.”

The big panda relaxed again, his moment of uncertainty passing, once again sinking deep into his trance.

Dr. Petersen paused, pondering how to proceed. Perhaps come at this from a different angle?

“Victor, I’ve helped you become confident enough to do anything, right?” He began.

“Yes, doctor.”

“And you are grateful to me for helping your dream of being a bodybuilder become a reality, right?”

“Yes, doctor. Very, very grateful.”

“And you’d love the chance to do something special to thank me, wouldn’t you?”

“Of course, doctor.”

“Even if it were something you might find a little uncomfortable?” Petersen ventured, hoping this worked. “Like being naked in front of me? Remember, you are confident enough to do anything…”

Victor only paused a split-second before responding. “I… yes, I am confident enough to do anything.”

Breathing a silent sigh of relief that using the panda’s deeply engrained mantra seemed to be working, the fox continued, still a little cautious. “And it’ll be just for me, to show your gratitude.”

“Yes, just for you…” Victor said. “Show my gratitude…”

“So, just relax, imagine how fun it will be to show the posing routine that won you your first trophy.” Petersen said, soothingly.

Now a smile appeared on the tranced panda’s features. “Yes, it will be fun to show you…”

“Then stand up, take your clothes off, imagine the music playing in your head, and start posing.” When the panda seemed to pause for a moment, the fox added, going back to the mantra once again. “And remember every step of the way that you are confident enough to do anything.”

That was enough to calm any remaining doubts, and the big panda stood up, fumbling at his clothes as he peeled them off and tossed them aside. Soon, he was naked, and for the first time, Dr Petersen got a look at the large cock hanging between the panda’s legs, a sight that brought a huge smile to his muzzle and set his tail wagging.

Victor started flexing his thick bulging muscles, striking pose after pose that showed off his impressive physique for the doctor’s viewing pleasure, all in time to whatever tune was playing in his head. Under his breath, he repeated the phrase ‘confident enough for anything’ over again and over again.

Dr. Petersen sat back, watching the performance intently, enjoying every second. He did have a very strong fetish for big muscles, after all. It was why Victor was his favourite subject, why he had given him such a heavy discount for his services and why he had put so much work into getting the panda to this point.

And now that he had managed to get the panda okay with putting on a naked little show for him, it would get easier and easier to have him do it again in future. In fact, the fox was certain that this was just the first of many naked posing routines Victor would be doing for him.

But for now, he was just going to sit back and fully enjoy having a fully hypnotized musclebound panda putting on a show of his impressive body just for him…
