as many people have said, listening is important, because really all we have to see inside someone's head is what they give us that way. one of the things that people seem to have in common who have mindfucked me the most though, is not only listening but doing this thing where they talk to me a lot without telling me as much as i'd like to know about them... enough to get me curious, and then they just sort of stop talking. i will babble after awhile if confronted with an empty conversation with someone i want to make a connection with... and, eventually, especially if the person is smart enough to have a good grasp of metaphor and isn't weirded out by some of the things i naturally tell people in order to test the "am i going to make you think i'm a freak?" factor, i let something slip. as for "what is a mindfuck?" or "that sounds horrible!" to me a mindfuck is being shown a different side of yourself or being able to find a space in the world that only the two of you truly inhabit, part reality, part dream. it's not a horrible thing... many people in D/s relationships talk about growing together or specifically growing the sub into a better version of herself and to be honest no matter how much physical only punishment you give someone, a mindfuck is going to cause a more real and lasting change because it changes the mind of the person and makes them no longer need to do the thing they're getting punished for. it makes the submissive more dependent upon this person who knows and understands them in a more real way than any artificial circumstance that they could create because you can leave a room or a person but your mind being changed is way harder to escape, and most often you don't want to.
