I could really, really easily imagine being prompted into spelling out one letter at a time saying a very narrow thing someone wanted me to say. 

That would be really hard to resist, *particularly* if I’d just spent the last 20 minutes being cognitively overloaded with rapid-fire multiple choice questions.

The lines that method uses are *powerful*.

Easily powerful enough to push people places they don’t want to go, saying things they don’t want to say.

Which doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad method. But… there is *so much power*. So much.

The thought of someone being able to find my strings and control me that thoroughly is *really terrifying*.

But at the same time, I absolutely do believe Emma and Arianne that it’s been a good thing for them.

I could be too.  I’m very susceptible to that kind of thing.  I even think I could be affected without anyone directly touching me, depending on the situation.

The scary thing for me is not just the ability to prompt me to do things.

It’s the ability to prompt me not to say or do things the person doesn’t expect or want me to say or do.

I’m very good at getting ‘blocked’ in that way around certain people.
