“hypnotic suggestion cannot be ingrained to have a subject do anything they normally would not.”
As a trained, certified hypnotherapist for over 25 years, that is not a true statement.
It is a statement made merely to lower a person’s resistance to being hypnotized.
There are techniques called “ultra depth hypnosis “ that take a subject to an amnesia state where they are highly susceptible to programming at the subconscious level. I’ve used them in the past but no longer do so as it is too dangerous.
There are also simple techniques used to hypnotize skeptics who say they can’t be hypnotized.
I hope you read my caveat about doing a ton of research on “brainwashing.” I appreciate your knowledge on the subject. I would enjoy hearing more.
