The hypnotherapist, I study influence psychology from a healers perspective,

Influence psychology is a clean way of saying manipulation.

Everyone influences everyone else either consciously or unconsciously, with intention or without intention.

One cannot not manipulate.

The issue is not manipulation, the issue is outcomes and effects.

some of my closes friends in high school, well all of them, at one time or another expressed trepidation at my intense "ruthless" curiosity and apparent disregard for moral /ethical boundaries.
