Btw, willingness to be vulnerable (Brené Brown) is an indicator of personal strength rather than shame. THIS video with Steven Hassan is an interview with Nori Muster, author of a Cult Survivor Handbook AND one about children born into cults.
A few years ago, I went to a hypnotist, deliberately. I wanted to find out how it worked, what she does to hypnotize people, and whether or not I could get hypnotized.
The therapist says I was hypnotized. But, I was aware the whole time, and I had complete control of my thoughts at all times. While I was hypnotized, I kept thinking to myself "ok, when will I get hypnotized." I didn't lose my will or get forced into doing something and if she told me to do something that I objected to, I'd have said 'no'.
My conclusion was that hypnotism was no big deal.
Try it for yourself and let me know if your experience agrees with mine.

How did she convince you that you had been hypnotized other than saying you were?

She didn't, but since she's the professional and I'm the student, I didn't argue and simply accepted what she said.
