Covert Hypnosis Via Text/Chat

Hi all,

I'm new to the site here but I joined up because I've had this question burning in the back of my mind for quite some time already.

Can one truly hypnotize a person via chat or text only, and coax an emotional response/seed/bond in them, like love, for example?

I'm asking this because I am in something that seems like a pseudo-online relationship with someone I've met online. We did some casual flirting around and got along well enough to the point that we got closer and started to share some intimate information about each other. This was a big thing since she mentioned to me before that she had a traumatic experience the last time she let someone get close to her online, and that it did not end well for her and she had to move and bury her past, and she closed off her heart or "true self" in a "box".

The "box" is the part of her that doesn't let anyone get close and flirts and plays around on text chat with people, but she never goes on voice or video, nor does she send pictures or even tell anyone any personal information. It's her safety blanket, so to speak. She is terrified of coming out of her box or letting anyone in... However, somehow she had let me get close enough that she did send me some pictures (face hidden), and she grew brave enough to tell me her first name.

Shortly after that, however, she began to get extremely anxious as we became a bit more involved with each other online, and started to feel smothered and paranoid whenever we were online with other friends that we play around with. At several points, she told me that once her adrenaline ran out from sending me pictures and telling me her name, she can't help but panic over what she did and was afraid of how close she had let me get to her, and a few weeks later, after us trying to talk with each other. I guessed that her "box", which was born from the trauma of her past was in conflict with the "her" inside the box, because she and I were similar in that i had a psychological dark hole that I've stayed in for a long time, which was created by some long-term abuse I've experienced from childhood up to date, until I met her and spent more time with her. She had managed to coax me out of my box and allow myself to feel hope and love and other positive emotions, as opposed to cynically existing and resigning myself whatever bad stuff was thrown at me or hammered into my head from other people.

Recently though... she spoke with me once more and told me that she's closing up her box again, and that I had managed to get her defenses down and made parts of the true her filter out, but she was terrified of that and didn't want to let anyone get close to her. She and I still chat and play around, but I want to get closer to her again and help her.

Hence my question, is it possible to give covert hypnotic suggestions via text conversation to her "true self" that is inside her "box", to make her feel that it's safe enough to let me in and get closer to her once more, or to nurture the part of her that did let me get close to let us try it again?
