You should nail down this story. Write the guy, ask for background, confirm your version of the story, etc. The reason I say this is, if your memory is off by a single degree, that could change the entire story here. If your professor's memory is off by a single degree, getting that resolved could prevent some other people from hearing the story and going down a rabbit hole and causing themselves unneeded anxiety. I've never read a hypnosis book that suggested people would do things against their will, but that is different from being open to suggestion.
- pmalynin 11y agoIs there a difference between "doing things against [your] will" and being lead to - temporarily - believe that is it your will to do what is being instructed?
- MrTonyD 11y agoObviously, his work was very secret. He shared some of the techniques with some of his students - and there are more steps involved than normal hypnosis. You can believe it or not. As for "anxiety" - well, have you looked around at our world recently? Wars, aggression, suffering, struggling, greed. One might argue that we should rationally be feeling more than "anxiety".
