I am so many years late to this discussion unfortunately. I’m not sure if you’re still around. I believe every word of what you’re saying. I am definitely a victim of this and probably a victim too of at least one “dark pattern.” I have amnesia for much of the actual hypnosis so I don’t know what was done exactly but feelings of trauma are certainly there. Thanks for trying to raise awareness about this issue. Storytelling and metaphors were a huge part of what was used against me and indeed it was very effective. He “persuaded” me to do things that I only have vague memories of and that would never have consented to if my critical mind had not been shut off.
