Thanks for the input everyone,
Morticia, given the rest of the people at the party("friends" I don't see anymore) that is entirely possible. It's an aspect I hadn't thought of.
This incident happened quite a few years ago, and for the most part I had put it behind me, recent depression and anxiety problems have brought it to the fore.I have seen my doctor and he's very supportive (this has been ongoing for several months).
Norton1, I appreciate the input but I'm sure you are a responsible Hypnotherapist, I'm (perhaps) dealing with people somewhat less than ethical.
Mark Clark, you were responsible enough not to go too far, do you think you had that much control over your subjects to make them do "anything"?
Guest 2:18, thats pretty much how I recall the incident, as a sort of dream, tho' I don't remember any suggestions or "you will feel sleepy" kind of routine. One thing I do remember is the room suddenly going quiet, and the party host saying "oh it's suddenly gone quiet, why's nobody talking, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb" and then everyone talking again.(rhubarb is a word used by background actors to simulate conversation)
Thanks again for the information everyone, this has really helped me
